Amnicon Falls State Park

I really like this place. Amnicon falls are very pretty. Nice hiking and swimming in the river at the falls.

You are about 20 minutes from Duluth Minnesota and Lake Superior.

No electricity but there are bathrooms and potable water. From tents to rv’s...the spaces work for anything.

Only negative is that you can hear traffic and trains pretty clearly.

I Wishconsin wasnt between Minnesota and the UP.

The waterfall is nice. The campground is just okay.

But to stay at this, or any other Wisconsin State Park for one night is, well, aside from impossible (three night minimum reservation, at least on the weekend.)

And super expensive.

Firstly, the site costs $15 / night. Reasonable for sure.

But you MUST make a reservation. No first come first served at all, and it costs $7.75 to make said reservation. Because clicking a button on the internet somehow costs them $7.75.

Okay fine. You also then need to pay $11 for a day pass to get into the park. But then, because of COVID I guess, they turned off the part of their self-service machines that can sell a day pass. So, you can ONLY by an annual pass, which costs $38.

So this $15 site actually costs $60.75. For no hookups. And aside from the waterfall, it’s not much nicer than an RV Park.

Completely full (as was Copper and Bule River State Forests down the road) on a Friday night in August.

Verizon service was good though.

A nice wooded campground with well spaced sites. No firewood available in the park.
