Grace Lake Road Dispersed

3 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Free dispersed camping in forested Saint Croix State Forest, Grace Lake Road puts campers within about 20 feet of the water. The access road is narrow enough that drivers of larger vehicles may need to fold their mirrors to get through; parking at the entrance and walking in is a workable alternative. ATV traffic runs through the area, and bugs can be heavy depending on the season. Anglers will find the fishing worthwhile, and cell service is available. Campers exploring the places to camp near Danbury region may also want to consider nearby St Croix Haven Campground for a developed alternative.

Campers found peaceful dispersed camping spots with good fishing access just 20 feet from water. Visitors noted friendly people despite ATV traffic, though narrow gate access requires caution for larger vehicles.

Location is inaccurate

This spot was super nice and peaceful! Lots of different dispersed spots. Go down Tamarack Forest Road, which is a little further than the location on here.
