Wildwood RV Park & Campground

7 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Woodsy tent sites tucked down a dirt road sit apart from the main RV loop at Wildwood RV Park & Campground in Shafer, Minnesota, giving the campground two distinct personalities. The primitive sites, like the creek-side site CC, are wooded with some visibility to neighboring spots, while the RV section provides full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. Sites are snug. Reviewers note the campground is not well-suited to large rigs, and one camper flagged that nightly rates can run close to $80 depending on the site and season.

On-site activities include a pool, playground, and mini golf course. The campground also runs a kayak and canoe shuttle directly from the main office, connecting campers to the St. Croix River without needing to haul their own gear. A bike trail is accessible right from the campground. The highway runs close enough that some campers notice road noise, though the location also means quick access to nearby towns and services.

Cell coverage can be spotty on the property. WiFi is available, though at least one visitor found it reliable only near the office. The Franconia Sculpture Garden is a nearby draw worth factoring into a trip itinerary. Amy F. notes that "everything was really clean," and the pool and facilities consistently draw positive mentions across reviews. Campers planning a summer weekend should book in advance, as the season runs May through early October and the on-site paddling shuttle adds to the draw for families.

Nice smaller park

Visiting family in the area and got a spot here. Spaces are snug, not big rig friendly, but overall a nice park. Power and water hookups, and dump station. Little pricey at $80/night but it’s in a great area.

Great family trip

Through a short weekend trip the camp site was a great size for us. Everyone was nice and friendly especially camp staff. The kayaking/ canoeing was an amazing adventure that everyone should try. It was even great for kids 3 and 6.

Close to Taylors falls and stillwater

Be sure to check out Franconia sculpture garden if you're staying here and have the time! It's such a fun and quirky place. Some of us stayed at an RV site and some of us stayed at a tent site this trip 😁

Wifi only works near office

Sadly I needed 4 hours of internet and my cellular data here was spotty. I spent this time right outside the office.

There is a mini golf course, and an outdoor pool (closed for the fall).

A bit close to the highway but quick access to city amenities.

All around nice.

We tent camped for two nights in site CC, which had a small quiet creek beside it. These primitive sites are down a small dirt road away from the main RV camping area and are nicely wooded, but you can still see neighboring sites. The staff were friendly and kind, the facilities were clean, and it was a convenient location.

Family Friendly/Great Location

Fantastic clean campground with a ton of things to do at the campground and in the local area. 

We went canoeing and kayaking and they provided a shuttle right from their main office. 

The paddlewheel boat ride on the St Croix River was amazing.  We even saw bald eagles on the ride.  We ordered a box lunch through Juneberry and even my husband was satisfied with the lunch!

The pool and playground were clean and nice.  Our site had it's own picnic table and firepit.  

The kids tried the bike trail that they could access right from the campground. 

Plenty of space to social distance.  We never felt uncomfortable and everything was really clean!

Relaxing and very family oriented

We love this RV Park & Campground because of the location with having so much to do on and off-site. All the staff is very nice and it is a family-oriented park which we love. We would recommend this RV Park and Campground to everyone.
