Spruce Tree Campground offers 9 rustic campsites at the trailhead for St. Joe River Trail #48, making it an ideal base for accessing the wild portion of the St. Joe Wild and Scenic River for fishing and paddling.

Basic amenities include vault toilets and hand-pump water (typically June-September), with a strict pack-it-in, pack-it-out policy; the remote location requires 39 miles of driving east from Avery, Idaho via Red Ives Road #218.

The campground operates seasonally (late May through late September) at $12-$15 per night and accommodates up to two vehicles per site, with a third vehicle allowed for an additional $5.
