Shadowy St. Joe Comments & Reviews
Visited Shadowy St. Joe Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Shadowy St. Joe?






In the verbage it suggests there is horseback riding allowed in the recreation area.
No where in the campsite information did I see anything about horse camping for those interested in exploring the recreation sites on horseback!
Is there really a place for horse campers?

Great question Brett!
And you’re correct – Shadowy St. Joe does not have any equestrian camping and/or facilities. There is horseback riding in the general area though. We clarified that in our overview.
I have been looking for information on the length of the pads/driveways. What is the max length for Travel Trailer?
Hey Jeff,
Can’t confirm, but most sites look to have a parking spur ranging in side from 25-32 feet in length.
I am looking at site 1 and 12 pictures are great but it does not say how long the pads are?
Hey Kimberly,
Your comment gave us an idea – to include pad length in the pictures. I added those for Shadowy St Joe and hope to do the same for others. Campsite #1 can fit an RV or trailer up to 40 feet, and #12 up to about 25 feet.
