Tin Can Flat Campground

Name: Tin Can Flat Campground

Tin Can Flat Campground is situated along the St Joe River on a small flat. It is heavily forested with plenty of shade and privacy. The St Joe River is wide and shallow here which is great for the fly fisherman.

Campsites: There are 11 RV / tent campsites. Each is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. The road and driveways are gravel.

Host on Site: No.

Water: There is a hand pump equipped well for camp water. The well is tested monthly for bacteria and is safe, but I don't drink the water from these wells.

Garbage Services: No, pack your garbage out with you.

Electricity Available: No.

Restroom: There is a vault style outhouse for your use and it was fairly clean and well stocked at the time of our visit.

Handicap Accessible: The outhouse is handicap accessible.

Firewood: There is no firewood for sale here. You will need to provide your own.

Pets: Pets are allowed but must be kept on a leash.

Picnic Area: There is no picnic area here.

Recreation: Camping, fishing and playing in the river are the main recreational activities here. However, there is also backpacking, hiking and the Trail of the Hiawatha is not too far away for a days bike ride. Check out this company offering package deals. It is one of several.

Fishing: Fishing is available in the St Joe River. Check the regulation and seasons on our fishing page.

Boating: There are rapids scattered along this stretch of the river and we saw people floating, rafting and kayaking here.

Swimming: The river is a bit shallow at the campground but I am sure one could find a better spot to swim nearby.

Wildlife: We didn't see any wildlife but one could expect deer, elk, black bear and grizzly bear to live in these mountains. There were no bear warnings at Tin Can Flat Campground.
