Campgrounds near St. Croix Falls
St. Croix Falls sits on the Wisconsin side of the St. Croix River, directly across from Taylors Falls, Minnesota. The town is best known as the entrance to Interstate Park, Wisconsin's oldest state park, established in 1900 and set along the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway with views of the steep-sided gorge known as the Dalles of the St. Croix. Campers use the town as a base for river access, hiking, and rock climbing.
The closest options cover a range of styles. The north and south campgrounds at Interstate State Park have a total of 82 family campsites and two primitive group campsites, with the group sites accommodating a total of 60 people. Nearby private options include Camp Waub-O-Jeeg, Big Rock Creek, and Wildwood RV Park and Campground, all within a short drive of the river valley.
Wildwood RV Park and Campground sits just outside Taylors Falls in the St. Croix River Valley, minutes from downtown Taylors Falls and St. Croix Falls across the Wisconsin border, which makes it a practical pick for RV renters who want paddling access without towing gear.
Things to do near St. Croix Falls
The river drives most trip plans. Interstate State Park offers a wide range of recreational activities, including boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking, biking, rock climbing, and wildlife viewing. Anglers target smallmouth bass, walleye, and northern pike along the St. Croix River.
On land, the Pothole Trail is the signature short hike, threading past glacial potholes carved into the basalt above the Dalles. The Ice Age Interpretive Center covers Wisconsin's glacial history through film, murals, and interactive displays, and it makes a good rainy-day stop for families. The park is also home to the western terminus of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, which runs about 1,200 miles across Wisconsin.
In winter, the park stays active. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are popular in winter months, and routes near the Ice Age Center open access to areas that are harder to reach in other seasons.

Camping seasons vary by campground. The north campground at Interstate State Park is open May 1 through October 31, while the south campground and group camp are open throughout the year. That makes the south loop and group sites the default for shoulder-season and winter trips. Winter plowing provides drive-up access to the group camp, and water is available at the Ice Age Interpretive Center when open.
Summer is peak season. Sites near the river and electric loops fill first, and holiday weekends book out well ahead. Late September through mid-October brings fall color through the St. Croix River Valley and is a strong window for RV travel before overnight lows drop.
Spring is variable. Snowmelt can raise river levels and keep low-lying trails muddy into April. Wildflowers follow through May, so timing a trip around bloom or peak-color windows is worth the planning effort.
How to book campgrounds near St. Croix Falls
State park sites run through the Wisconsin DNR reservation system. Camping reservations are required and can be made up to 11 months in advance of the planned date of occupancy. Campers must reserve before setting up on any site, and reservations can be made online or by calling 1-888-947-2757. Interstate State Park and South - Interstate State Park sites both use this system.
For electric hookups, target the north loop. The North loop has 40 campsites, 34 with electric hookups, flush and vault toilets, showers, drinking water, and trash collection, while the South loop has 44 campsites with no hookups, vault toilets, drinking water, and trash collection.
Private campgrounds such as Camp Waub-O-Jeeg, Big Rock Creek, and Wildwood RV Park and Campground book directly through each operator. Reserve early for summer weekends, as holiday dates often sell out well in advance.
What to expect
Expect a small-town base with a big park next door. Sites at Interstate State Park are wooded, and layouts differ by loop. The South Campground features a mix of tent and RV sites, none with electric hookups, and amenities include restrooms and drinking water. A dump station is located across the road from the Ice Age Center, which is convenient for RV renters cycling through the park.
Connectivity is limited. Cell service is poor in the area, so download maps, reservation confirmations, and any streaming content before arrival. Ice, firewood, and other concessions are typically available at the Ice Age Center.
Rig size and site access vary between campgrounds. Larger travel-trailer setups often fit best at private parks like Wildwood RV Park and Campground, while the state park loops suit smaller rigs, vans, and truck campers better.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near St. Croix Falls, WI
How much does it cost to rent an RV in St. Croix Falls, WI?
RV rental in St. Croix Falls is one of the most affordable ways to explore the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. On RVezy, you can expect travel trailers to start around $90-$150 per night, campervans around $150-$225, and larger Class C motorhomes in the $200-$350 range. Booking midweek or during the shoulder season (May or late September) is a great way to score a cheap RV rental in St. Croix Falls. Pro tip: travel trailers often pair perfectly with a site at Interstate State Park since they're easier to position on wooded sites.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/interstateWhat license do I need to rent an RV in St. Croix Falls?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Wisconsin, no Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special endorsement required, even for the largest Class A motorhomes on the platform. You'll just need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy will verify your ID through the booking process as part of the approved driver requirements. Visiting from outside the US? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association along with your home license. Most first-time renters are surprised how quickly the verification step wraps up so you can focus on planning your route along the St. Croix River.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs the RV and my trip protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in St. Croix Falls booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you're never alone out there. During checkout, you'll choose from different protection plan tiers depending on how much coverage you want, helping cover damages to the vehicle so you can relax and enjoy the bluffs of the Dalles of the St. Croix instead of worrying about the 'what ifs.' Pro tip: pick a higher-tier protection plan if it's your first time, the small upcharge is worth the lower deductible.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my St. Croix Falls RV trip?
Booking is low risk because RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not the host), and there's a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates with confidence. Cancellation terms depend on how far in advance you cancel relative to your trip start date, and you can review the full policy in the RVezy Help Center before you book. If a Wisconsin blizzard, flooding along the St. Croix, or another disruption affects your plans, RVezy support is there to help sort things out. Pro tip: secure your RV early for fall color weekends in October, then finalize campground reservations once your booking is confirmed.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV trip from St. Croix Falls?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in St. Croix Falls is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the 'Pet-Friendly' filter when searching, and you'll see listings from hosts who welcome your four-legged co-pilot. Once you arrive, Interstate State Park has pet-friendly trails (dogs allowed on most trails on a leash under 8 feet), and the Gandy Dancer State Trail running north from St. Croix Falls is a fantastic leashed-dog walk along an old railroad grade. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fees or shedding considerations, and pack a towel for muddy paws after riverside hikes.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/interstateCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near St. Croix Falls?
Yes, RV delivery in St. Croix Falls is one of the best-kept secrets for first-timers. Many RVezy hosts will tow the RV directly to your site at Interstate State Park, Wildwood Campground, or a private property in Polk County, level it, hook up water and electric, and walk you through every system before they leave. That means zero towing stress for you, just show up and start the campfire. Filter by 'Delivery' when searching listings to see who offers it and their delivery range. Pro tip: ask about pickup-day delivery so you maximize your time on the river without spending it in a parking lot.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/interstate/campingHow far can I drive on a St. Croix Falls RV trip?
You've got incredible range from St. Croix Falls. Minneapolis-St. Paul is just about 60 miles south (roughly an hour), Duluth and Lake Superior are about 150 miles north, Devil's Lake State Park near Wisconsin Dells is around 230 miles, and Door County is roughly 330 miles east if you want a multi-stop motorhome rental St. Croix Falls adventure. Each host sets their own mileage policy, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage which is great for longer routes. Pro tip: check the mileage allowance on the listing page before booking, and message the host if you're planning a longer loop, many will bundle extra miles into your booking.
travelwisconsin.com/article/road-trips/the-great-river-road-wisconsinWhere are the best campgrounds near St. Croix Falls?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in St. Croix Falls. Interstate State Park (Wisconsin's oldest state park) sits right on the St. Croix River with views of the iconic Dalles cliffs and offers electric campsites at the Northern Pines and Camp Interstate campgrounds. Wildwood Campground just outside town offers full hookups and a swimming pool. Across the river, Minnesota's William O'Brien State Park (about 20 miles south) has riverside sites. Sandrock Cliffs Campground inside the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway is a quieter, more rustic option accessible by boat or a short hike. Pro tip: Interstate State Park sites fill fast for summer weekends, book the moment your RV is confirmed.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/interstate/campingWhen is the best time to rent an RV in St. Croix Falls?
Late May through mid-October is prime season for an RV rental in Wisconsin's St. Croix Valley, but each window has its own magic. June and July bring warm days in the upper 70s to mid-80s°F and long evenings perfect for paddling. September and early October deliver spectacular fall color along the St. Croix River bluffs with crisp 60s°F days, this is the locals' favorite. May offers wildflowers and fewer crowds. Winter rentals are limited but possible for snowshoeing adventures, just confirm the RV has heated tanks and shore power. Pro tip: book fall foliage weekends in October by mid-summer, they're the most popular nights of the year.
weather.gov/mpx/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay?
You're going to love it, and first time renting an RV in St. Croix Falls is genuinely easier than people expect. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup: how to operate the slide-outs, run the fridge on propane or electric, dump the tanks, and connect at the campground. You'll have their phone number for the whole trip, plus RVezy's 24/7 support line. Many hosts in the area even start renters with smaller, easy-to-drive Class C motorhomes or travel trailers under 25 feet that handle Highway 35 and the curves into Interstate State Park with ease. Pro tip: do a 10-minute parking practice in an empty lot before heading out, confidence built.
nps.gov/sacn/planyourvisit/index.htmWhat if I break down or have an issue on the road?
You're covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 8 or a battery hiccup near Sandrock Cliffs is just a phone call away. Your host is also your first line of help, they know their RV better than anyone and are usually quick to answer texts. RVezy's support team is available around the clock too. Cell service is solid in St. Croix Falls and along the Highway 8 corridor, though it gets patchy in the deeper sections of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Pro tip: download offline Google Maps for Polk and Burnett counties before you leave town.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my RV across state lines or into Canada from St. Croix Falls?
Yes, an RV road trip from St. Croix Falls is perfect for crossing state lines since you're literally on the Minnesota border. Driving the Minnesota side of the St. Croix or heading west to the Twin Cities is straightforward and fully covered. Cross-border trips into Canada (think Thunder Bay or the North Shore of Lake Superior) may be allowed depending on the host's insurance, so message the host through the listing before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Pro tip: the Great River Road south through Wisconsin to La Crosse is a stunning multi-state route with bluff-top views you won't find anywhere else.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-go/your-tripHow much should I budget for fuel on a St. Croix Falls RV trip?
Fuel is one of the easier costs to plan. Wisconsin gas prices typically hover around the national average (recent prices in Polk County have been competitive with the Twin Cities). Expect about 8-10 MPG for a Class C motorhome, 10-13 MPG for a campervan rental in St. Croix Falls, and 12-18 MPG for a tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer. A 200-mile round trip to Duluth and back? Roughly $80-$120 in fuel for most rigs. Pro tip: fill up in St. Croix Falls or Osceola before heading into the Northwoods, prices climb the further you get from the interstate.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near St. Croix Falls?
For peak summer weekends and fall color season, book your campground as soon as your RVezy reservation is confirmed, ideally 3-5 months out. Wisconsin State Parks (including Interstate State Park) use the Wisconsin DNR reservation system and release sites 11 months in advance, and the riverside electric sites at Interstate go quickly. Private parks like Wildwood typically open bookings 6-12 months ahead. Weekday stays in May or late September are often available just a week out. Pro tip: if Interstate is full, check St. Croix National Scenic Riverway's first-come, first-served sites for a more spontaneous adventure.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/reservationsWhat are the driving conditions like around St. Croix Falls?
Driving in and around St. Croix Falls is refreshingly relaxed compared to big-city RV navigation. Highway 8 and Highway 35 are well-maintained two-lane roads with gentle curves through farmland and forest, perfect for first-time RV drivers. The bridge crossing the St. Croix River into Taylors Falls, MN has a slight grade but no issues for standard RVs. Watch for deer at dawn and dusk (especially on County Road S), and be aware that winter conditions from November through March can include ice and snow on rural roads. Pro tip: avoid Highway 8 westbound on Sunday evenings in summer, that's when Twin Cities cabin traffic heads home.
511wi.gov/What amenities and hookups can I expect at campgrounds near St. Croix Falls?
You'll find a great mix. Interstate State Park offers 40 electric sites (no water/sewer at site) with a centralized dump station and potable water fill, plus modern restrooms and showers. Wildwood Campground has full hookup sites (electric, water, sewer) and Wi-Fi. Private parks in the area typically include 30/50-amp service. For dumping and water on the road, the Polk County Fairgrounds and several gas stations along Highway 8 have dump access. Pro tip: top off your fresh water tank at Interstate's filling station before heading to a rustic site, the artesian well water is locally famous and tastes incredible.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/interstate/campingWhat features and amenities come with St. Croix Falls RV rentals?
RVezy listings in the St. Croix Falls area come well-equipped for comfortable family RV trip St. Croix Falls adventures. Expect real beds (queen or king in many Class C motorhomes), a full kitchen with stove, fridge, and microwave, an indoor bathroom with shower, air conditioning, furnace heat, and seatbelts for everyone traveling. Many include a generator, outdoor speakers, awnings, and bike racks. Some hosts offer Wi-Fi hotspots and outdoor grills as add-ons. TVs are common in Class A and Class C rigs, though streaming depends on cell signal. Pro tip: filter by 'Sleeps 6+' if you're traveling with kids, the bunkhouse layouts are gold for keeping everyone happy.
nps.gov/sacn/planyourvisit/things2do.htmWhat add-ons and pickup options are available?
Hosts in St. Croix Falls offer a fantastic range of add-ons to make your trip easier. Common extras include bedding and linen packages, camping chairs, outdoor kitchens, bike racks, kayaks (a must for the St. Croix), generators, and propane fills. Delivery to Interstate State Park, Wildwood Campground, or a private location is one of the most popular options. Mileage policies vary by host, with some offering unlimited mileage for longer trips and others including 100-150 miles per day. Pro tip: book the kayak add-on if your host offers it, launching from Lions Park in St. Croix Falls into the Dalles is a bucket-list paddle.
nps.gov/sacn/planyourvisit/outdooractivities.htmHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay through RVezy's platform at the time of booking with a credit card, no cash exchanged with the host. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment (typically $500-$1,500 depending on the RV) and is released back to you after the trip assuming no damage. To avoid issues, do a thorough walk-around video with your host at pickup and again at drop-off, and keep all communication in RVezy messaging so there's a clear record. Pro tip: use a credit card with travel protection for the booking, it's an easy extra layer of confidence on top of RVezy's included protection plan.
