Paul Schmitt

First come/first serve state forest campground. $17 and totally worth it. There is no electricity, a shared restroom, and water is available via pump. It was very quiet and it is very well taken care of.

26 very private and separated between many trees. The DNR guy is very nice and you will go around check on you make sure you're good you'll even offer you large bundles of wood for $5. You can even get doordash delivered there. However the cell service there sucks unless you have at&t. My Verizon barely had one bar.

Nice quite spot not far from the cities. Number of first-come-first-serve spots, all nicely secluded from one another. Easy access to river. New well and pump should offer drinking water. Simple toilets. Paul is a great host/caretaker!

Jesse Gillespie

The absolute basics in a beautiful location. Clean & well-maintained, but very simple: outhouses and, at the moment, no running water at all. Bring your own H20. The best part of this site is that I'd guess it's rarely full, so it's a guaranteed restful spot for very a very low price (you don't even have to pay the same day)!

Pretty, really pretty, but the ruts in and around trying to get a camper of any kind would be challenging.

Jhonne Hill

Beautiful place to visit. Alone or with your family.

The Gospel of Thomas Sunday

Quiet, well maintained and just 90 minutes from Minneapolis.

Short walk to the Saint Croix River landing, great space for hammocks and tents. I will be making this my go to camping spot.

Location is great, very quiet and close to the river. Be prepared for ticks, mosquitoes, and horseflies. Cell reception is spotty to non-existent. Sites are large and will accommodate large trailers or several tents. NO RV HOOKUPS. Road is heavily potholed.

Great place for a quick getaway. We drove up Friday after work and appeared to get the last site at ~4pm. There was some sites that opened Saturday morning and they quickly filled. Bathrooms are acceptable and fresh water on site. Fun trails throughout the woods, multiple landing/beaches for getting in/out of tubes. We were able to hike all along the North banks of the river and eventually wade back across to the campground. Didn’t catch any fish, but there was many people fishing in the late afternoon and admittedly, I’m a beginner. Billions of crawdads.
