Name: Packer John Campground
Packer John Campground is located in Meadows, Idaho, along a small creek. The land is level and had mature trees but little undergrowth. This historic site has not been taken care of and is not a campground I would consider using. The camp host's site had old cars and junk packed around an old camper. The campgrounds were unkempt. The outhouses were fairly freshly painted but the doors were coming off and the seats were laying on the ground. Some online info states this is a "State Park" but it is not listed as such at the state's website.
