Campgrounds near River Falls, Wisconsin
River Falls sits in western Wisconsin's St. Croix Valley, roughly 30 miles east of the Twin Cities and within easy reach of the Wisconsin and Minnesota state park systems. RV renters use the city as a base for the Kinnickinnic River, the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, and the Apple River tubing corridor around Somerset.
Willow River State Park Campground is the closest state-run option, located just outside Hudson. The park covers roughly 2,891 acres of prairie, forests, and river scenery, located about 5 miles northeast of Hudson, with a campground, boat launch, and beach centered on 172-acre Little Falls Lake. The campground sits on the southern shore of Little Falls Lake and has one of the highest occupancy rates in the Wisconsin State Park System.
Private campgrounds cluster along the Apple River in Somerset, about 25 minutes north of River Falls. Tresure Island RV Park, Apple River Hide-A-Way, Rivers Edge Campground, and Float-Rite Park all sit along or near the tubing route, offering RV sites, tent sites, and direct river access for summer float trips.
Things to do near River Falls
Tubing the Apple River is the signature summer activity. Somerset-area operators such as Apple River Hide-A-Way, Rivers Edge Campground, and Float-Rite Park sit along the float route and provide tube rentals, shuttles, and riverfront campsites. Trips typically take three to four hours depending on the launch point.
At Willow River State Park Campground, families can take in Willow Falls from four viewpoints, paddle or swim at Little Falls Lake, and explore more than 13 miles of trails for hiking and biking. A nature center offers programming for kids.
Fly-fishing on the Kinnickinnic River in town, disc golf, and concerts at the Somerset Amphitheater round out the options within a short drive.

The prime RV window runs from late May through early October. Willow River State Park requires a minimum two-day stay from May 15 through October, and a three-day minimum booking on holiday weekends, and Apple River private campgrounds run their full tubing and shuttle operations from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
July and August bring the warmest water and busiest campgrounds. Campsites can book up fast, especially on summer and holiday weekends, and the Somerset Apple River corridor sees heavy weekend crowds with a party atmosphere on Fridays and Saturdays. Families often target Sunday through Thursday for a quieter float.
Spring and fall offer cooler nights, lower demand, and strong fishing and hiking conditions, though river tubing services generally do not operate outside the summer season. Winter camping is limited, and winter camping at Willow River is first-come first-served, with all water systems turned off and buildings closed October 1 through mid May.
How to book near River Falls
Willow River State Park Campground reservations are handled through the Wisconsin State Park reservation system at wisconsin.goingtocamp.com. Campsite reservations open 11 months in advance on a rolling basis, and the park has one of the highest occupancy rates in the Wisconsin State Park System, so summer weekends should be locked in as early as possible. A Wisconsin State Park vehicle admission pass is required in addition to the site fee.
Apple River campgrounds in Somerset, including Tresure Island RV Park, Apple River Hide-A-Way, Rivers Edge Campground, and Float-Rite Park, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Tubing packages, cabins, and RV sites are often bundled, and holiday weekends require multi-night minimums.
What to expect at River Falls campgrounds
State park sites at Willow River are wooded in the 300 campground, which has 70 tent, trailer or motor home sites with flush toilets and showers, while the 100 loop has few mature trees and no fully shaded sites, but can accommodate tents through the largest recreational vehicles. There are 59 sites with electric hookups, and amenities include drinking water, flush and vault toilets, showers, and a seasonal dump station. Full hookups are not standard, so RV renters should arrive with full fresh water and empty tanks.
Apple River campgrounds around Somerset lean social, with large site counts, on-site bars or concessions, live music on summer weekends, and a lively crowd near the river. Weeknights are noticeably calmer and better suited to families. Bring bug spray, water shoes for the rocky riverbed, and cash for firewood.

rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=River%20Falls,%20WisconsinWhat license do I need to rent an RV in River Falls?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in River Falls, WI. Wisconsin does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special endorsement for personal RVs, including large Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels. You must be at least 25 years old to book on RVezy, and you'll verify your identity right inside the platform during checkout, no paperwork at pickup. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set. Most first-time renters are surprised how quick the approval process is.
wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/license-drvs/how-to-apply/license-class.aspxWhat protection is included with my River Falls RV rental?
Every RV rental on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the road around River Falls and the St. Croix Valley with real peace of mind. You choose your coverage level during checkout, not the host, so you decide how much extra cushion you want before you ever leave the driveway. Combined with around-the-clock roadside help if you get a flat on County Road F or need a tow near Kinnickinnic State Park, you're covered from pickup to return.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my River Falls RV trip?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy, not the host, sets the cancellation policy, and every reservation includes a money-back grace period right after booking so you can change your mind without stress. After that, refunds depend on how far out your trip start date is and whether unusual circumstances apply. You won't see different policies on different listings, it's one consistent RVezy process. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or offers travel credits. Book confidently, then start planning your River Falls RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in River Falls?
Absolutely, plenty of pet-friendly RV rental River Falls options are just a filter-click away. On RVezy, toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see hosts who welcome dogs and sometimes cats, often with a small cleaning fee built in. River Falls is a fantastic dog destination: leashed pups are welcome on the trails at Kinnickinnic State Park, along the Swinging Bridge in Glen Park, and at most sites in nearby Hoffman Park. Message the host before booking if you have a large breed or more than one pet so everyone's on the same page. Your co-pilot is going to love this trip.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/dogsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in River Falls?
Yes, RV delivery in River Falls is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you've never towed before. Many local hosts will drop the RV directly at Kinnickinnic State Park, Hoffman Park, or even a private property within Pierce or St. Croix County, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. Just use the Delivery filter when searching and enter your destination address to see exact delivery fees. Pro tip: delivery is a game-changer for first-time renters heading to the sandy delta sites at Kinnickinnic, which can be tricky to back into.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/kinnickinnicHow far can I drive, and is unlimited mileage available?
You've got options. Hosts in River Falls set their own mileage policies, and many offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect if you're planning to roam. From River Falls you're 35 miles to downtown Minneapolis-St. Paul, 95 miles to Eau Claire, 110 miles to Wisconsin Dells, about 240 miles to Duluth and Lake Superior, and roughly 270 miles to Door County. Each listing clearly shows the daily mileage allowance and the per-mile overage rate before you book, so there are no surprises. Pro tip: if you're planning a big loop, filter for unlimited-mileage listings up front to keep your budget predictable.
travelwisconsin.com/Where are the best campgrounds near River Falls for RV camping?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping River Falls. Top picks include Kinnickinnic State Park (boat-in sites on the St. Croix delta plus day-use beach), Willow River State Park about 20 minutes north in Hudson (electric sites and the stunning Willow Falls), Hoffman Park right in town (city-run with electric hookups along the Kinni), Apple River Campground in Somerset (full hookups and tubing), and Lake Elmo Park Reserve just across the Minnesota border (paved pads and a swim pond). Pro tip: Willow River fills fastest on summer weekends, so book early through the Wisconsin DNR reservation system.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/willowriverWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from River Falls?
Late May through early October is prime time for an RV road trip from River Falls. June through August brings warm days averaging 78 to 83 degrees Fahrenheit and comfortable 55 to 62 degree nights, perfect for swimming at the St. Croix delta. September is the local insider's favorite: bug-free, sunny 70s, and the bluffs along the river start showing fall color by the third week. Winters are cold (often below 20 degrees Fahrenheit) and most campgrounds close by late October, though a few hardy hosts offer four-season RVs. Pro tip: book a late-September trip and pair it with the Pierce County fall color drive along Highway 35.
weather.gov/mpx/I've never driven an RV. Will I be okay?
You'll do great, first time renting an RV is way less intimidating than it sounds, especially around River Falls where rural county roads make for an easy warm-up. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup, covering the propane, water systems, slide-outs, and driving tips specific to their rig. If you'd rather skip the driving entirely, choose a host who offers delivery and setup. Start with a smaller Class C motorhome or campervan rental River Falls hosts list for an easy first trip. You can also message your host any time during the trip with questions, plus RVezy's 24/7 support has your back.
wisconsindot.gov/Pages/safety/education/driver-resources/default.aspxWhat if something goes wrong on the road?
Take a breath, you're covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance, so whether you've got a flat tire on Highway 35, a dead battery at Kinnickinnic State Park, or a lockout at Willow River, one phone call gets help dispatched. Your host is also a text away for quick questions about quirks of their specific rig, and RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after every trip. River Falls sits close to multiple service centers in Hudson and the Twin Cities, so help is rarely far away. Knowing the safety net is there lets you focus on the fun.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take my River Falls RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is easy from River Falls. You're literally minutes from the Minnesota border via the I-94 bridge in Hudson, and most hosts welcome trips throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Dakotas. Heading to Canada (think Voyageurs or even further north)? That's often allowed but requires advance approval from the host so insurance coverage can be confirmed, message them directly from the listing before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because protection coverage does not extend there. Popular routes from River Falls include the Great River Road south to La Crosse and the North Shore drive to Duluth.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and budget should I plan for?
Budget realistically and you'll have zero surprises. Class B campervans get roughly 18 to 22 miles per gallon (MPG), Class C motorhomes around 10 to 14 MPG, Class A coaches 7 to 10 MPG, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle (usually a 25 to 40 percent hit to its normal MPG). Regular unleaded in the River Falls area has been running about $3.10 to $3.40 per gallon recently, with diesel slightly higher. The Kwik Trip on South Main Street is the local favorite for big-rig-friendly pumps. Pro tip: top off in Wisconsin before crossing into Minnesota, where fuel taxes often run a bit higher.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near River Falls?
For the best sites, book early. Wisconsin State Parks like Kinnickinnic and Willow River open reservations 11 months in advance through the Wisconsin DNR's online reservation system, and popular summer weekends (especially around the Fourth of July and Labor Day) sell out within hours of opening. For city-run Hoffman Park in River Falls, you can usually grab a spot 2 to 4 weeks out midweek. Private parks like Apple River Campground take reservations year-round. Pro tip: if you missed the prime weekend, target a Sunday-through-Wednesday trip, you'll get pick of the lot and quieter beaches at the St. Croix delta.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/reservationsWhat are the driving conditions like around River Falls?
Driving an RV around River Falls is genuinely pleasant. The main routes (Highway 35, Highway 65, and U.S. 10) are well-maintained two- and four-lane roads with gentle rolling terrain, no mountain passes, and plenty of pull-offs. The trickiest stretch is the descent into the Kinnickinnic and St. Croix river valleys, where grades hit about 6 percent, take it slow in low gear. I-94 east-west through Hudson is your fast route to and from the Twin Cities; avoid the 4 to 6 p.m. weekday rush if you're towing. Winter brings ice and snow from November through March, so most renters stick to May through October.
511wi.gov/What amenities do River Falls area campgrounds offer for RVs?
You'll find a great mix. Willow River State Park offers electric hookups (20/30/50 amp at many sites), a dump station, and potable water fill, but no individual sewer hookups. Kinnickinnic State Park is more rustic with boat-in only camping at the delta, no hookups, so come with full fresh water and empty tanks. Hoffman Park in town has electric and a dump station. For full hookups (water, sewer, 50-amp), head to Apple River Campground in Somerset or River Country Campground in Spring Valley. Pro tip: the public dump station at Willow River is open to non-campers for a small fee, super handy on your way back into town.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/campingWhat's actually inside an RVezy rental in River Falls?
More than you'd expect. Most motorhome rental River Falls listings come fully equipped: real beds (queens are standard, with bunks in family rigs), a kitchen with stove, fridge, microwave and sink, a wet or dry bathroom with hot shower, dinette seating with seatbelts for travel, climate control, and often a TV with antenna or streaming setup. Many include a generator for boondocking, plus solar on newer rigs. Wi-Fi varies, some hosts include a hotspot, others recommend using your phone. Each listing photo gallery and amenity list shows exactly what's included, so you'll know before you book whether you need to bring linens or if they're provided.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=River%20Falls,%20WisconsinWhat add-ons and pickup options should I look for?
River Falls hosts offer some fantastic extras. Common add-ons include linen and kitchen kits ($25 to $75), bike racks, kayak and SUP carriers (perfect for the Kinnickinnic River), camp chairs and outdoor rugs, generators, and pet packages. Pickup is usually at the host's home in River Falls, Hudson, or nearby Ellsworth, but many offer delivery to local campgrounds for a flat fee or per-mile rate. Mileage policies vary by host: some offer unlimited, others include 100 to 150 miles per day. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a linen kit on your first trip so you literally just show up at the campsite ready to relax.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=River%20Falls,%20WisconsinHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and fully handled inside RVezy, no cash or checks change hands with the host. You'll pay the full booking amount (rental, fees, protection plan) by credit or debit card when you book. A refundable security deposit is held by RVezy a few days before your trip, separate from your booking payment, and released back to your card after the trip wraps up with no issues. To avoid hold-ups: do a thorough walkaround at pickup, take timestamped photos, return the RV on time, refueled, and with tanks emptied per the host's instructions. Easy in, easy out.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksAre winter RV rentals available in River Falls?
Yes, a small but growing number of River Falls hosts offer four-season RVs you can rent November through March, perfect if you're chasing ice-fishing on the St. Croix, snowshoeing at Kinnickinnic, or a Birkebeiner road trip to Hayward. Look for listings marked with heated and enclosed underbellies, heated holding tanks, and electric fireplaces. You'll want a campground with shore power hookups (Hoffman Park keeps a few sites open seasonally, and Apple River has winter electric sites) since onboard furnaces drain propane fast in single-digit weather. Pro tip: message the host about cold-weather prep, most will walk you through skirting, antifreeze in the P-traps, and tank-heater settings.
