RV campgrounds throughout the Lindstrom area feature a mix of spacious and compact motorhome sites. Country Camping RV Park in Isanti provides full hookup pads with 50-amp service, operating from May through October. At Wildwood RV Park & Campground in Shafer, 135 sites accommodate large rigs with water, sewer, and electric connections. Grand Casino RV Resort offers year-round access with both 50-amp hookups and pull-through options for larger motorhomes. Sites at most parks include picnic tables and fire rings with varying degrees of privacy between neighbors. "The designers of this park have clearly never spent a night in an RV. Virtually every site is a blind back in from the driver seat, and you're trying to back your trailer into a site without being able to see anything," noted one camper about Grand Casino.
Seasonal availability varies significantly among Lindstrom area RV parks. Winter operations are limited primarily to Grand Casino RV Resort, while most facilities close between October and May. Cell service fluctuates throughout the region, with several campers reporting weak but usable coverage at most locations. Pet-friendly policies are standard across nearly all parks, though some maintain restrictions. Dump stations are available at major facilities like Country Camping and Wildwood, though placement sometimes creates traffic bottlenecks during busy checkout periods. According to one visitor, "All of the sewer connections are cut off about 12 inches above the ground. This means that even in a relatively tall fifth wheel, you are going to be trying to make sewage flow uphill." Weekend reservations during summer months are essential, particularly at locations offering casino access or proximity to recreational water features.

First time
We stayed at Baker as a family for our first camping trip, and it was great. Fire pit with swivel grate for cooking, bathrooms, and plenty to explore.
Mindy B.GuideApple River County Park Campground
Peaceful, hidden gem for simple campers, wonderful water
There are surprisingly few campgrounds in this area with overnight camping - most are just giant trailer parks for people who stay the entire season. We were pleased to find this "real" campground close enough for segment hikes on the Ice Age Trail, 12 miles away at the closest. Some sites do have electricity, but pit toilets, no showers. I took advantage of the Apple River instead - it's just a short walk away, wonderful for wading, has some deeper pools for a cool dip. The water from the hand pump is cold and delicious. We noticed several cars, probably local, stop and fill jugs to take home.

St Croix River Resort
Great Family Campground
Many activities throughout the day for the family. Kids enjoyed the pool. The store has a nice selection of items for sale. Firewood is $8 a bundle.
The campsites are close but there is enough trees between sites to make it seem like you are not so close.
There are atvs and utvs but at night they are not moving around.
Gail G.GuideRiver Terrace Park
love the river views and shade
Needs alot of updates, old facility with no amenities. Shower water, barely warm, sign on mens bathroom says, bring your own toilet paper. For most part the park is quiet, shady, but again could use some improvements. There are 3 long pull-thru sites for overnight stops

Nice, private stay!!
We stayed for a weekend in the East Loop and had such a nice time! They have many trails to a pretty well-kept bathroom and the sites themselves are private nooks in the trees. They had firewood available that we took advantage of, and we overall had a great time!

Pardun’s Jack Pine Campground
This is for Pardun’s Tube Rental. Don't give this man your business!
If I could give this company negative stars I would. I would never recommend this company to even my worst enemy. This was our second experience with them. The first time took a long time but we knew it wasn’t their fault because the river was low and that’s out of their control. Our tubes were also good. The owner’s dad(Jerry?) picked us up and was so nice and sweet. We laughed at all our hiccups along the way.
This time around, it was just my friend and I and we were having a wonderful time for the first 2.5-3 hours. Then we realized we weren’t moving and the wind was blowing us upstream. We kept trying to go, waiting to see the landing. By the 5 hour mark we kept trying to call Pardun’s to mention that we were trying to come back and to let them know that we’d probably be later than expected and to see if they had any tips. Since the cell service is almost non existent, the calls would not go through. By that time, we didn’t know what to else to do but call 911. By the time we were able to get a hold of someone to ask for help, we were nearing 6 hours on the river. They called Pardun’s to let them know and the owner(Guy?) and his son were waiting to pick us up. As soon as they saw us, the snarky disrespectful remarks started and they began making fun of us. The owner was relentless. It was one rude remark after another. This was at about 9pm. When I started crying and asking him to stop talking to me, the a-hole dug in even more and had to get the last word in. It kept on until I screamed at him to shut the F up. I couldn’t take it anymore. He then stopped and started trying to kick us off the bus. I was sitting in the seat, sobbing while my friend was nicely asking him to just please go and please stop with the comments. He wouldn’t. Once we got back to Danbury, he stopped the bus and walked away. His son helped us get our stuff out and his wife eventually came out to make sure that we had our keys and let us know she had called the other people involved to let them know we were back. The son was initially being kind of a jerk when we got on the bus but he apologized to us soon after. His waste of a human father didn’t.
Please do not give this man your business. I have never been so humiliated and made to feel as awful as he made me feel. The blatant disrespect and language from the minute he saw was unbelievable. This man is the most awful human I have ever encountered. I sure hope he treats his wife and his mother with a little more compassion and empathy.
Dana D.GuideEagles Landing Campground
Clean and pretty. But some traffic noise.
This is a well taken care of and pretty campground. The staff in the office is very nice. It's very small. Nice view of a running creek with wildlife. But there is traffic noise, you are very near the road. There is a nice little laundromat, clean showers and good drinking water here also. Great T-Mobile access.

What to do

Outdoor recreation: Mini golf and pool time at several Lindstrom area RV parks provide on-site entertainment. At Wildwood RV Park & Campground, visitors enjoy "mini golf course, and an outdoor pool," though Jaime N. notes the pool is "closed for the fall."
Urban exploration: Walking distance to towns from select campsites allows for shopping and dining without driving. Camp Waub-O-Jeeg campers appreciate the proximity to urban amenities: "Taylors Falls is two miles away where you will find cute shops, ice cream and good dining. St. Croix Falls is right over the river where you have more restaurants, a grocery store, Menards and a Walmart."
What campers like
Recreational water features: Sandy riverbed at Country Camping gets high marks from families. David G. observed that "the river is very clean and sandy bottom," making it ideal for both tubing and swimming activities.
Extra amenities: Heated pool and splash pad at Country Camping RV Park impress visitors. "Great variety of things to do for everyone. Group sites, tent sites, covered wagon sites! Floating on the Rum River, swimming pool with splash pad, little camp store, Golf cart rentals!" writes Carol H.
Natural surroundings: Wooded sites at several Lindstrom area parks provide shade and atmosphere. Susan M. from Camp Waub-O-Jeeg appreciates that "the camp is rustic, in a good way. Lots of trees, nice sites with water and electric and a dump station (that's not stinky!)"
Event accommodations: Music festival access makes some parks practical for concert-goers. TyAnn J. explains: "We booked our stay at the RV Resort so we wouldn't have to drive two and a half hours back and forth during the two day Grand RockTember Music Festival."
What you should know
Reservation timing: Summer booking requirements vary by location. At Wildwood, weekends fill quickly, particularly for river access sites. The shuttle service for water activities operates directly from their main office.
Road conditions: Terrain challenges exist at some campgrounds. At Camp Waub-O-Jeeg, Krista T. noted, "The roads are rough in spots...The road to the sites named after birds was rough and I was nervous that I would bottom out going up the hill."
Noise levels: After-hours activity differs between parks. Susan M. reports, "For the most part, people are respectful of the 10pm quiet hours. If people are loud, the campground owners have asked that you call them no matter how late so they can take care of it."
Internet connectivity: Variable Wi-Fi performance across Lindstrom area RV parks affects remote workers. At Wildwood, one camper observed "Wifi only works near office" and "cellular data here was spotty. I spent this time right outside the office."
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Multiple play areas keep children entertained. At Country Camping Tent & RV Park, Beasty B. enjoyed "fantastic great playground and heated pool the spaces were well kept and spaced apart 10-10 would most defiantly go again! A ton for the kids to do!"
Child-friendly water activities: Age-appropriate paddling opportunities exist on local rivers. At Wildwood, dominick C. shared that "the kayaking/canoeing was an amazing adventure that everyone should try. It was even great for kids 3 and 6."
Social opportunities: Inter-campsite friendships commonly form at some parks. Susan M. observed at Camp Waub-O-Jeeg: "I often see kids meeting each other from different sites and then hanging out and playing games together. There are nice playgrounds on both the A and B hill."
Tips from RVers
Backing challenges: Site angles create difficulties at Grand Casino RV Resort. Cathleen V. found that "Back-in site was 90 degrees to the road - if the bathhouse parking lot wasn't across from it, wouldn't have been able to swing in on a 24' travel trailer."
Site spacing: Privacy varies considerably between Lindstrom area RV parks. North Park RV Campground offers "easy in & out" sites according to Dave T., while TyAnn J. notes Grand Casino RV Resort has "sites are very close together with little to no privacy."
Utility placement: Hookup positioning affects setup ease. "Water pressure was low," reports Cathleen V. about Grand Casino's utilities, while Country Camping features "large sites" with more accessible connections according to Rory T.
