Snake River

State Forest Campground with some sites close to the shoreline of the Snake River. Firewood can be gathered from the forest.  It's a nice small campground, first come first served. Medium sized class A 30' RV's can be used on these sites. Larger RVs would probably have a hard time getting around the road.  Similar to St Croix State Forest Campground.

This is a pretty nice little self service first come first served campground on the edge of Chengwatana State Forest. Clean toilets and nice shady spots, most of which are quite private. However, if it is peace and quiet your looking for, plan on using one of the hike in sites in the forest. My neighbours for the weekend were obnoxiously noisy with no or little respect for others in the camp ground. The trails into the forest were not well groomed after crossing the snake River and still quite swampy in July. $17:00 a night makes it an OK choice within 90 minutes of the Minneapolis.

Beautiful site, wish the river was higher for fishing. Just a mile or so walk to the Saint Croix River. Camp grounds have restrooms, water (have to boil or purify it) Camp ground manager comes around and has firewood for sale. I'd say it was worth the price of $17/night. Watch out for bears though.
