North Campground

The North campground is beautiful, but close enough to the highway to hear semis using their engine brakes. Not a deal breaker though. It’s a beautiful park.

Campsites are on the small side. I was able to back in a 25ft travel trailer, it took a lot of patience :)
Sites are close together and could here other campers conversations.
I would stay again but only during the week.

We picked this campground for the location. The south campground has no hookups at all. The north campground has electric only sites. The bathhouse was nice enough. Theres a dumpstation after you enter the park. There is a highway that runs right through the north campground. The trucks use their jake brakes. Some areas of the campground have it worse but everyone we spoke with got woke up at 5am with loud truck noise. Including us. It has great trails around the water. It's a nice state park, but that traffic noise gets annoying after awhile. Where we stayed we had no problem fitting our 40' rv with tow vehicle. Plenty of large sites. If you don't need electric and really want to stay here, stay in the south campground.

Stayed Oct 14th-17th 2002. Easily parked my 18 foot tear drop camper on site 2 in the north campground. This single loop has electric but no water. Showers and flush toilets were closed for the season which is typical for this time of year here. Vault toilets were clean. Sites are generally small but I have a small RV. There was large Class A’s in the loop. Picnic table and fire ring. The south campground has rustic only sites and are fully wooded. Firewood was available for purchase at $7/bundle. The north loop has road noise from HWY 8 but it’s not horrible.

This is the western terminus of the Wisconsin ICe Age Trail so it has a very nice interpretive center s as bd the staff was quite helpful. The hiking trails were beautiful this time of year and some provided great views of the St. Croix River and the dalles. There is a nice lake for fishing and kayaking. No motorized boats allowed. There is a boat ramp to the St. Croix River.

From the north campground you can walk over the river on the HWY 8 bridge right into the popular little town of Twin Falls MN where there are shops and restaurants as well as the other side of the park with more hiking and camping. You can also ride a paddleboat on the River.

I really enjoyed the park and would go back. Here’s a link to a video I made.
