Maybe we just got unlucky. But I would not recommend this campground. The urinal kept endlessly flushing the whole time we were there. We told the camp host and she seemed unfazed. Then the next morning we woke up to sewage seeping up through the ground under and around our tent. I assume the endlessly flushing urinal filled up the septic. It was smelling and disgusting. We told the camp host and she said there was nothing she could do about it. We had to come home and sanitize our tent, and sleeping pads. On top of that, there was a massive stinging nettle plant on our walk to the bathroom. And anytime we got out a bit of food wasps swarmed us. The bathrooms were gross, they didn’t flush very well, and they didn’t have any soap. FYI you have to haul your trash out.

We drove two hours to this campground hoping to reserve a site for an upcoming trip. Many spots are labeled "first come, first serve," but it was clear others had reserved ahead of time. We arrived around 11 AM, found an open site with available dates, and spent over four hours trying to speak with the camp host to confirm availability. Despite knocking multiple times on their RV and waiting patiently, no one ever answered or came by. Another camper told us she hadn’t seen the host either and had been trying to buy firewood with no luck. After returning from the bathroom, we noticed the host changed the reservation tag on the exact site we’d been waiting to reserve, without ever speaking to us. The complete lack of communication and assistance was incredibly frustrating. If early reservations are being accepted, there should be someone available to manage that. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this campground based on our experience.

Beautiful campground with lush trees, making campsites more private. Flush toilets too!

Camped at Cloverleaf Campground for a week and it was a good place to camp overall. Plenty of trees, just down the road from the Minnetonka cave, not too far from Bear Lake, but also far enough away. The downside is that where we camped at the entrance where the sign and pay station is, there was some traffic noise, we also got a lot of other campers and vehicles stopping right in front of our campsite and asking us questions thinking that we were the camp hosts, when they were actually back behind us. It would be nice if there was some more privacy with either a fence or some more trees or shrubs in front of that location so that we didn't get bombarded with questions from other people.

Great campground..nice paved spots spaced enough to give privacy. Fairly easy to maneuver in though larger rigs may find some places tight. I was there a week and it was mostly empty except for the weekend when every spot was taken. It seems that lots of people come for the weekends and stay here while going to Bear Lake for the day. It's a mix of reservable and first come sites. Lots of water spouts to get drinking water but only one bathroom which wasn't a problem till the weekend when the campground was full...too many people for a single toilet for the men though the women's side had two. The host, who wasn't on site did a big cleaning after the weekend crew and it was stocked well the rest of the time. Quiet campground and peaceful, at least in my experience. No cell reception in the area. Access to streams and hiking right from the campground. Garbage is located on the road leading up to several of the campgrounds but was over full and in need of emptying. Overall a great place to stay @ $20 a night if you are in the area.

Upper campgrounds in St. Charles Canyon, near North and East Shore beaches at Bear Lake, ID. This makes for cool afternoons and evenings in a hot late July weekend. Not too far from the beaches, which get packed really on the weekends.

Cloverleaf CG is up the canyon from St Charles Idaho. About two miles from the Minnetonka cave. It has about 15 sites. #13 is in the middle but has good shade. The is no water in the campsites but placed throughout the camp. Bath rooms are flush toilets. About half of the sites are reserveable the others are 1st come 1st served. Sites filled up early Thursday morning.

I hesitate to say how awesome this campground is because I like the quiet solitude.

Beautiful campground, you can actually feel like you are In the middle of no where. Loved the flushing toilets and spot 12 had easy access to them. Nice creek, easy pathway to get to it from camp spot 13. Only 4 miles away from the cave. Friendly camp hosts.
