The numbers that decide it

Recreation.gov publishes no site-level detail for this campground, so we cannot say what length of rig it takes. Call the managing office before committing to it in a large vehicle.

Porcupine Campground

Porcupine Campground is located in pretty St. Charles Canyon, adjacent to St. Charles Creek approximately seven miles from Highway 89 and is close to Bear Lake State Park and North Beach. Pines and aspens forest the area, providing partial shade, and summer wildflowers dot the area. St. Charles Creek has good cutthroat trout fishing, and beautiful Bear Lake is nearby, with boating, waterskiing, fishing, swimming, and sightseeing.
