Great Basecamp
Mountain bikers and hikers will love this beautiful treed campground. Level sites that are spread out enough to offer some privacy. Bath house was old, but adequate.

Several state parks and private campgrounds near Danbury, Wisconsin provide rustic cabins with varying amenities. Dairyland Outdoor Veterans Retreat in Danbury offers cabin rentals with electric hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables. Jay Cooke State Park Campground, within driving distance, features camper cabins with basic furnishings including bunk beds, tables, and chairs. "The cabins are pretty basic with bunk beds and a small table with chairs. The cabin we stayed in was heated with base board heaters that you have control of the temperature," notes one visitor. Most cabins include electricity and heating systems, making them suitable for year-round use, while bathroom facilities are typically located nearby rather than inside the units.
Cabin types range from simple one-room structures to more spacious family accommodations with multiple sleeping areas. State park cabins tend to be more rustic, with electricity but no running water inside. Private resorts like St. Croix River Resort offer more furnished options. Many cabins are pet-friendly, though specific policies vary by location. Winter cabin camping is popular in the region, with heated units providing comfortable shelter for cold-weather activities. According to one camper at Big Lake Shores & The Lounge, "We always stay in the cabin. It's a remote paradise! The price is right. Refrigerator, microwave, queen bed along side a bunk; double on the bottom bunk and a twin up top."
Most cabin rentals provide basic furniture but require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and cooking supplies. Kitchenette facilities vary widely, from simple counters with microwaves to more equipped setups with refrigerators and stovetops. Fire rings and outdoor grills are standard at most cabin sites, with firewood available for purchase. Nearby towns offer grocery stores for provisions, though selection may be limited in more remote areas. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months and weekends when cabins fill quickly. For winter stays, additional warm bedding is recommended as heating systems vary in effectiveness across different cabin options.

Crowded but lovely stop
A weekend in October...peak color but the campground is crowded and pretty noisy up until 8 pm ish when it does quiet down a bit. Would stay again, just when it's less crowded.

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.

Private sites, W/E, Close to downtown Duluth. Our site was just big enough for our 38' 5th wheel with slides on both sides. They delivered wood which was $9 for 5 pieces. RR and showers close to this site. Toilets fairly new, but showers paint peeling and could use remodeling.

Clean, relaxing, and fun time.
Had a great time. Dan & Lisa friendly and accommodating. Clean and roomy sites for just opening they’re doing well. Can’t wait until next time

Old Logging Trail Campground — St. Croix State Park
Nice campground, but…
The campground is nice and has more woods/bushes and more privacy than the other two campgrounds in the park. The bathroom/showers were relatively clean and functioned well with nice hot showers. The electric sites functioned as expected but, they all seem very well used. Not much in the way of grass (bit of a drought at the time) and lots of little bits of garbage all over our campsite. All the electrical sites were occupied while we were there and a lot of the other sites near the modern bathroom were occupied. If you want privacy and a less worn campsite I would suggest booking a non-electrical site further away from modern bathroom. Oh, another plus water from spigots around campground was good.

Convenient when the SP are booked
If you’re hopping between state parks in the north shore area and need something near Duluth, this campground is a solid option if there’s nothing else available. Time has not been overly friendly and the park and campground are somewhat run down, but there are still upsides. It’s close to local stores and the sites are shaded and actually quite lovely, but beware that MANY of the sites on the far west loop (45-70) will not be level. Most also do not have a dedicated space for a tent, but there is usually ample space on the gravel drives (bring extra padding). This loop is also not ideal for larger RVs. Verizon cell service was manageable and if you scout the site images online, you can find spots with northern-facing openings in the trees for Starlink if needed. Water spigots in this loop are also well placed and the water was quite chilly. Now for the ugly…the bathrooms in this loop are serviceable, but if you touch the wall or floor while showering, you might want to star over. If you forgot your shower shoes, you won’t be showering. Older bath houses are acceptable, but this one was plain filthy beyond simple age.

Nice paved spots
Nice campground with flat paved spots and good facilities. Water park for extra charge, but a great free playground for non-swimmers

Everything is convenient
I stayed at two sites, the second being 41E, which has electric. This loop is perhaps the most central to the bath house, but all are conveniently located nearby and the dump station isn’t too far (but far enough to stay out of sight, out of mind). The bath house is fully handicap friendly and the shower heads can all the raised and lowered, and there are wheelchair ramps up to the facility. The dirt roads are miraculously pothole free and the drinking water spigots are blissfully cold if you’re here during a heatwave. Site 41E, like quite a few actually, has the fire pit behind/on the wrong side of your rv door, but no biggie. The biggest downside is that the site is rather unlevel, but if you are able to scoot all the way to the right (closest to the electrical tower), it’s not so bad. The bridge/park office/store is a quick 7 min walk, and the bath house is less than a 2 min walk.
When I was staying, we were hit with hazardous levels of wildfire smoke, and I was so impressed that the park staff opened visitor’s center early so that campers would have a place to escape the smoke. I’ve never stayed at any park where the staff goes so far above and beyond.
Guide to Danbury
Cabin camping near Danbury, Wisconsin provides access to the dense forests and waterways of northwestern Wisconsin's Burnett County. The region sits at an elevation of approximately 900 feet and receives about 32 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush woodland environments. Winter cabin rentals require advance planning as temperatures routinely drop below freezing from December through March.
What to do
River adventures: St. Croix River offers canoeing and tubing opportunities during summer months. "We stayed here with my extended family in a couple of cabins. It is nice and wooded. You are able to go tubing down the river when the water is low enough," notes a visitor at St Croix River Resort.
Fire tower climbing: The observation tower at St. Croix State Park stands 100 feet tall and provides panoramic views of the surrounding forest. "There is a 100' fire tower you can climb up and get an epic view," reports a camper at Old Logging Trail.
Winter activities: Cross-country skiing trails become available when snow covers the ground. "Wild River State Park is my go-to campground since it is within an hour of my home. I make it my first place to camp every season. Love the scenic trails and all the park has to offer. Hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, exploring," shares a visitor.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many cabin rentals offer wooded separation from neighboring campers. "The campground was very nice. The sites are private, couldn't see any neighbors as there are a lot of trees," explains a visitor at Wild River State Park Campground.
Wildlife viewing: Cabin locations provide opportunities to spot local fauna. "We saw sooooo many deer some even walking right through campsites! You can hear coyotes, raccoons and very loud owls," notes another Wild River State Park visitor.
Historical features: Several parks contain preserved historical sites worth exploring. "The Quarry Loop along the Kettle River has a ton of history, allowing you to explore the remains of the 130+ year old sandstone quarry. Seeing the drill holes in the cliffs was really cool and the remains of the old buildings were a highlight even to our small children," reports a camper at Banning State Park Campground.
What you should know
Bug preparation: Mosquitoes can be intense, particularly in June after rainfall. "St. Croix SP: was quite buggy due to a lot of recent rain. Highly recommend fogging your site or having a bug enclosure to help ward of the mosquitos," advises a visitor to Old Logging Trail.
Water access varies: Some cabins require bringing extra equipment for water hookups. "Our water source ended up being 75' plus from our RV. Thankfully I just happened to be carrying the extra hose for several years but never had to use it before," notes a camper at Banning RV Park and Campground.
Cell service limitations: Signal strength varies widely across cabin locations. "Cell service was incredibly spotty on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Depending on where you're at, you'll get a low signal, but often it was only enough for texting-- don't think about using the web or social media or getting any work done while you're here," explains an Old Logging Trail visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several cabin rental locations include play equipment for children. "There is a nice playground for the kids and there are some nice trails," reports a visitor at St Croix River Resort.
Swimming options: Cabin locations with beach access provide water recreation. "It's on a beautiful lake with a swimming area. You can rent a pontoon or take out a canoe or rowboat for free. Great fishing too!" shares a camper at Wilderness Way.
Indoor pool alternative: For rainy days, consider resorts with indoor swimming facilities. "The pool is indoors which is nice and has drawbacks. It is a good sized pool," notes another St Croix River Resort visitor.
Tips from RVers
Veteran-specific options: Military veterans can find dedicated facilities at Dairyland Outdoor Veterans Retreat in Danbury. "Great place to stay. Off the beaten path. Quiet & relaxing," notes a recent visitor.
Site arrival timing: Arrive during daylight hours to assess site conditions and setup needs. "Campground was very dark in the area of campsites which made setting up a bit difficult. Our sites were grass that was a little long and rutted from what seemed from previous tenants," reports a visitor to Banning RV Park and Campground.
Backup location planning: During peak seasons, have alternative cabin options ready. "This is a great place. Nice people and super helpful. Great alternative if the state park is full," advises another Banning RV Park and Campground visitor.
