Things to do near Marine on St. Croix
The St. Croix River anchors most trips. It is a designated National Scenic Riverway with paddling, fishing, and long stretches of quiet shoreline. For anglers, the channels of the St. Croix have northerns, walleye, bass and trout, and the river is ideal for canoeing.
On land, William O'Brien State Park features 12 miles of hiking trails that pass through oak savannas, wetlands, glacial moraine, and wooded forests, with a 1.5-mile ADA-accessible Riverside loop with scenic overlooks and interpretive signage. Big Marine Lake offers swimming at a sandy beach, fishing, boating from an on-site launch, and boat rentals for eligible guests at the Veterans Campground.

The Disabled Veterans Campground on Big Marine Lake operates as a year-round camp, though summer camping runs mid-April to mid-October, weather permitting. Private Wisconsin-side parks generally follow a warm-season window.
Summer weekends fill quickly, especially between Memorial Day and Labor Day. State park sites in Minnesota can be booked months out for prime weekends, so mid-week arrivals see more availability.

How to book a site near Marine on St. Croix
William O'Brien State Park uses the Minnesota DNR reservation system. Reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance online or by calling the DNR reservation center. Phone reservations are available at 866-857-2757 from April through September between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and a Minnesota state park vehicle permit is required in addition to camping fees.
The Veterans Campground on Big Marine Lake books directly through the Disabled Veterans Rest Camp Association. The camp is open to all honorably discharged military veterans including active duty, Guard and Reserves, retired, disabled, and military families, and non-veterans need a veteran sponsor to visit. Reservations for stays of one week or longer are taken year round, and weekend reservations begin each May 1.
Golden Acres RV Park, Float-Rite Park, and Apple River Hide-A-Way take direct bookings by phone or website. For popular summer weekends, book several weeks out, and use cancellation-alert tools if the state park loop is full.
What to expect on the ground
Sites at William O'Brien split between the Riverway and Savanna loops. Riverway sits closer to the river, while Savanna sits on higher, more open ground. The campground has 125 single-family campsites, 71 of them with electric hookups, and there are no full-hookup RV sites inside the park. A dump station is available mid-April through mid-October.
Cell service is spotty in the park itself, so plan on downloading maps before arrival. Sites can accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs up to 60 feet.
Character varies sharply across the region. State park loops stay quiet with strict quiet hours, the Veterans Campground has a family and veteran-focused atmosphere, and the Apple River campgrounds in Somerset skew toward tubing crowds and party weekends. Match the campground to the trip: quiet nature stays on the Minnesota side, social river days on the Wisconsin side.
