RangerSmall, quiet, free...what more could you want?!
We wanted a place to tent camp as close to the Pearson, Idaho end of the Hiawatha Bike Trail as possible. This little (5 camping sites) primitive campground suited our needs perfectly. It was clean, no frills, had a well-maintained vault toilet, and there was even a small creek for pleasant background sleeping sounds. Filled the bill perfectly for our needs. Do note that one sign en route the campground refers to it by it's former name, North Fork Joe Campground. That confused us a little. Also, please note that we didn't see a pump or other water source in the campground.
Location
Telichpah Campground is located in Idaho
