Accessible via County Road O, this free dispersed camping area provides drive-in and walk-in access along the Saint Croix River within the National Scenic Riverway. The National Park Service maintains basic facilities including restrooms, drinking water, and picnic tables near the boat ramp, with additional camping spots available near the trailhead further down the road.
Campers can park near the boat ramp or drive to more secluded spots along the access road. The site accommodates big rigs and allows campfires, pets, and alcohol. Cell service varies by carrier, with Verizon providing limited coverage. Mosquitoes can be heavy during summer months, and hunters may be present during hunting seasons, though they typically stay away from camping areas.
