Packsaddle Campground
Packsaddle Campground
Packsaddle Campground offers intimate riverside access to the St. Joe Wild & Scenic River with just two first-come, first-served campsites featuring picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and seasonal potable water (June-October), located 4.
5 miles east of Avery. The campground is ideal for anglers and paddlers seeking non-motorized boating and fishing opportunities, with paved driveways and grassy sites accommodating up to 2 vehicles per site ($10/night, plus $5 for a third vehicle).
The remote location provides direct river access and serves as a trailhead for backcountry exploration, though visitors should arrive early during peak seasons due to limited availability and lack of cell service.
