"Walk-In Sites
If you are looking for privacy, cart-in site 119 is quite a ways off the trail and far from the parking lot, but it's a bit small."
"Our first trip was five years ago and we got portage service for our canoe from Titanic Rentals in Ontario."
$10 - $15 / night
"It was maybe around a half mile walk from the closest parking. The trails I saw were more like small roads, but still had beautiful views."
"Campsites spacious, wooded and a-lot of hiking trails. No ambient polluty, stars magnificent."

"Lots of bugs at night to be expected being that close to the driftless. We awoke to such views - hard to beat!"
$27 - $129 / night
"The campground is super easy to get to as it is adjacent to I-90 which means you’ll also deal with highway noise."

"Situated within short distance of the Mississippi surrounded by trails and kayak friendly rivers."
"Near-by La Crosse has baseball and softball teams from the Northwoods collegiate summer league."
ScoutThe sites are simple, well separated with a very short walk, easy to take multiple trips. Going when we did we were met with swarms of mosquitoes.
Additionally it's very near the interstate so not the quietest of places.
GuidePorta potty near our original site was full and there for closed. So we picked a different site near the bathhouse.
The bathhouse was clean at night but not in the morning. No tokens needs for the shower. Several retro games plus billiards in the game room. Quarter operated.
Someone’s RV was giving off an awful stench. LOTS of puddles when it rained so maybe better drainage?
GuideCampsites are small. If you are looking for FHU sites are level enough. But, if you are needing just water and electric you should look elsewhere. Sites are very unlevel. There was a 3 feet drop off at my site just outside my camper making sitting under the awning impossible. Staff was friendly.
ScoutWonderfully quiet and safe. Had bathrooms and showers. Right at the end of the root river state trail. Singing toads at night. Very flat. Sites are spread out. Within walking distance to grocery store.
ScoutThis state park is very nice, decent trails clearly marked and the walking paths around the sites are pretty clear. Overall the noise from other sites was minimal and I liked the layout of the campground.
The bad- the sites labeled for highway noise should be closed. It was an absolutely awful experience. I was walking through all of the campground when we first got in and as we approached our site the noise was so distracting and completely ruined the peaceful experience that most state parks offer. It was a serious bummer when night construction started on the highway on Sunday night as well. Our neighbors stayed well beyond the checkout time and the camp host did nothing to get them to leave, why even be present if you’re not gunna do anything? It wouldn’t have been a big deal if they weren’t randomly shooting a bow and arrow into the trees behind their site and then proceeded to record TikTok’s with endless repetition of those songs. Not the parks fault other than the host should at least clear the sites with the new checkout times.
If you’re going to this park avoid the highway spots at all costs!
ScoutThis was a great experience rocheckery State Park as beautiful outlooks there's a lot of scenic sites goes from trees and Forest to rocks and scenic views if you like hiking and wilderness camping this is the place.
GuideHowever the one shower in women’s bathroom has a broken button so doesn’t work at all and the one has a plugged drain and there are 3 inches of sanitary water hazard at the bottom. So unusable. If desperate I say go use the men’s. What else can you do! Also book online before you get there!!!! Also book your car pass separately. I did not see any staff anywhere at any time. You are on your own. Too bad the state can’t afford a single staff to manage the place in the evening. Come on Minnesota… are you really that cheap? Us users are willing to pay you know!!! Charge us more so we can count on stuff being maintained! Otherwise the place is fricken gorgeous!!!!!
ScoutOverall awful campground. On top of our over priced ($123) two night stay, we had to pay an additional $30 for an emissions fee. When we got to our site it was in the middle of a field with campers close by with no privacy. Our sight was very unlevel as well as extremely muddy. The amenities were very dirty (lots of bugs plastered across the shower walls, muddy shower floors, hair everywhere). When we showed up there was a fallen tree taking up half of the road and for our entire stay it was never removed. The lady we dealt with at the front office was not friendly. She was rude to me and my wife. We will never stay here again and never recommend it to anybody! Not worth your money, try to find a different campground!
ScoutI only stopped in overnight but found it peaceful and relaxing. Water ands electric available. Clean, free showers and a lake to swim in.
