Campgrounds near Lakeland
Lakeland sits on the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River in Washington County, roughly 20 miles east of St. Paul and directly across the water from western Wisconsin. The location puts RV travelers within a short drive of two state park systems, several private RV parks, and the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, making it a practical base for a weekend or a week-long trip.
Closest to town, Willow River State Park Campground lies across the river near Hudson, Wisconsin, with sites that handle everything from tents to large motorhomes. Golden Acres RV Park offers a more developed hookup experience geared to RVs. Farther east into Wisconsin, Apple River Hide-A-Way, Float-Rite Park, and Rivers Edge Campground cluster along the Apple and St. Croix rivers and cater to tubing and paddling trips.
Between these options, families find a mix of forested state-park loops, riverside private grounds, and full-hookup RV parks all within about an hour of the destination.
Things to do around Lakeland
The St. Croix River anchors most trips. Paddling, tubing, boating, and swimming are the dominant summer draws, and outfitters along the river rent kayaks, canoes, and tubes. Apple River Hide-A-Way, Float-Rite Park, and Rivers Edge Campground all cater directly to tubing floats on the Apple and St. Croix.
On land, Willow River State Park stretches along the banks of the Willow River with forested gorges and prairies, and Willow Falls is the star attraction, a powerful cascade in a deep gorge. The park has more than 13 miles of hiking trails and fishing spots, plus a beach on Little Falls Lake.
Families also use Lakeland as a launch point for downtown Stillwater, the historic riverfront district a short drive north, and for Afton State Park and the surrounding bluff country when day trips call for something off the water.

The RV season runs roughly from mid-May through October.

Minnesota parks follow a similar rhythm, with water shut-offs and reduced services once freezing temperatures set in.
Summer is peak season. Weekends around Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day book out well in advance, and Willow River enforces a minimum 3-day booking for holiday weekends and a minimum 2-day stay from May 15 through October.
Fall brings cooler nights, thinner crowds, and strong hardwood color through the St. Croix Valley from late September into mid-October. Winter camping is limited to hardy tent and truck campers; most RV loops are closed, and spring thaw can leave low-lying riverside sites muddy or flooded through April.

How to book near Lakeland
Wisconsin State Parks and Minnesota State Parks each run separate reservation systems, both online. Willow River campsites are reserved through the Wisconsin State Park reservation website, with the booking window opening 11 months in advance. Minnesota state park sites, including drive-in loops in the St. Croix corridor, book through the Minnesota DNR reservation system on a shorter 120-day (four-month) window that opens at 8 a.m. Central on the first day a date becomes available.
Private campgrounds such as Apple River Hide-A-Way, Float-Rite Park, Golden Acres RV Park, and Rivers Edge Campground handle their own reservations directly through their websites or by phone. Summer weekends fill fastest, and holiday weekends should be locked in as soon as the calendar opens.
What to expect near Lakeland
Sites range from full-hookup RV pads at private parks to rustic wooded loops at state parks with electric-only or no hookups. Willow River State Park has about 163 campsites on the southern shore of Little Falls Lake, with 59 electric sites accommodating tents, trailers, and RVs. Amenities include drinking water, flush and vault toilets, showers, and a seasonal dump station.
Wisconsin state parks require a vehicle admission sticker in addition to the camping reservation fee, and Minnesota parks require a state park vehicle permit as well. Cell service is generally good near towns and along the interstates but drops in river valleys.
Expect mosquitoes and ticks in warm months, and firewood restrictions apply: buy local, do not haul wood from home.
