Camping in the Amery, Wisconsin area encompasses a range of options from state parks to municipal facilities along waterways. North Park RV Campground in Amery provides electric hookups, water access, and amenities like showers and toilets, while Apple River County Park Campground offers more primitive tent camping with 15 simple sites, 5 with electricity. The region extends to nearby options including Interstate State Park along the St. Croix River, Wild River State Park, and Lily Springs Regenerative Farm, which offers both tent and cabin accommodations in a unique agricultural setting.
Many campgrounds in the area are seasonal, with most operating from May through October. Access to sites at Apple River County Park requires driving on maintained forest roads, while campgrounds like Interstate and Wild River State Parks feature more developed infrastructure. Summer weekends typically see high demand, especially for waterfront sites. Cell service can be spotty in rural areas, particularly at campgrounds farther from town centers. According to one visitor, "The camping is currently closed for the season, and will have repairs and needed upgrades. It would be worth checking in spring 2021 to review the improvements!"
Riverside camping provides the most popular experiences in the region, with the St. Croix and Apple Rivers offering scenic paddling opportunities. Several campgrounds include direct river access, which campers highlight as a major benefit. A reviewer noted that at D N Campground, "The Apple River is really beautiful, and if we had brought our kayaks we could have plopped them right in the river from our campsites and had an amazing paddle on this pristine tributary of the St Croix." Mixed-use campgrounds serving both tent and RV campers are common throughout the region, with most providing at least basic amenities like vault toilets and water access. Developed campgrounds such as North Park feature more robust facilities including showers, sanitary dumps, and electric hookups, making them suitable for family camping trips.

GuideNice campsite. Clean and well maintained. Fire ring picnic table and some tree stumps for processing your firewood. I see several campsites in the area but I'm alone here. A river is several hundred yards away from my site, but you have to hike down a bit.
ScoutBack in 2020 I did about 3 months camping along here ! Good spot !
TravelerNice campground. We were passing thru to visit a friend. Stayed one night. Very clean bathrooms. The Pizza at the Bear Den (next door) was excellent.
ScoutPretty much in the middle of nowhere surrounded by small towns.
ScoutIf 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.
GuideThis 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.
ScoutGreat campsites. Have camped here 8 times this summer in 7 different sites and have loved every one of them. Bathrooms are good, showers are good, just very well kept.
ScoutI picked this site for the proximity to the golf course that I’m playing in the morning. A lot of people, a lot of noise being next to the highway but, I can’t sleep in my own house let alone being outside. When I came in and set up at the RV spot instead of the tent. Kurt was kind enough to help me relocate to the correct location. Kudos!
TravelerI arrived after the campgrounds closed I was welcomed and was very happy to be accepted
