This first-come, first-served state forest campground charges $17 per night and requires a long drive on gravel roads to reach the remote location. Sites spread out with vault toilets, drinking water, and picnic tables available. The campground sits near a lake with multiple trails, though ATV traffic on surrounding routes may create distant noise during busy weekends.
Campers report wildlife sightings including bears and wolves in the forested area along the Tamarack River. The facility stays cleaner than many state parks according to visitors, with minimal crowds mid-week. For a different experience, St Croix State Forest Tamarack River Horse Campground accommodates equestrian camping nearby.
