Best Glamping near Roberts, WI

Red Cedar Glamping houses two distinctive yurt sites in Wisconsin, about 45 minutes east of Roberts. These round canvas structures blend traditional camping with modern comfort, featuring toilets, fire pits, and drinking water within a peaceful woodland setting. The fully-equipped accommodations include comfortable beds, basic kitchen supplies, and outdoor seating areas where guests can enjoy the natural surroundings. Similarly, Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins in Minnesota offers elevated glamping experiences with toilets, firewood, picnic tables, and designated fire areas. The cabins provide a more substantial alternative to traditional camping while maintaining a connection to nature. One guest shared, "Perfect little cabin nestled in the southern half of the park! Screened in porch, heated with electricity, and two double bunk beds!"

The St. Croix River Valley creates a stunning backdrop for glamping adventures with miles of hiking trails winding through dense forests and open prairies. At Afton State Park, visitors can explore multiple hiking paths suitable for various skill levels before returning to their comfortable accommodations. The park also features a beach along the St. Croix River for swimming during summer months, with eagle sightings common along the shoreline. Stone Creek Farm, another glamping option, welcomes pets and provides firewood for evening campfires. Most glamping sites in the region operate seasonally, typically from May through October, though some offer year-round accommodations. According to a camper, "The sites are nicely spaced and diverse. Some are more wooded and others in the open prairie, providing good privacy and seclusion."

    Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins

    Great camper cabins for spring and fall

    Each cabin has four sleeping spots: 2 bunk beds, and the 2 couches convert to beds. There's a heater inside, but no AC, which makes these the most suitable during the spring and fall.

    There is a fire ring outside of each cabin, along with a table. No cooking is allowed inside the cabins, which can make things rough if the weather isn't cooperating. 

    We enjoy hiking around the trails, but we primarily go to decompress, lounge around, and play games, read, etc. There's WiFi available, but depending on which cabin you reserve signal will be took weak for real usage. Same for mobile data -- don't plan on cell service here.

    The bathroom facilities are nice. Outside water is shut off during some parts of the year, so bring your own drinking water if you are camping close to/during winter.

    Cabins are accessible for those who need special assistance, which is nice. The only caveat is I don't recall there being an automatic door opener to the cabins.

    While the cabins are close together, noise is not a factor once you're inside. 

    It's difficult to get reservations, so I recommend trying to start booking 120 days in advance, which is the farthest out you can reserve. For example, as of this review (early June), all weekends are booked for all cabins.

    Ham Lake Resort

    Well Rounded RV Park and Campground

    My partner and I scheduled a 3 day / 2 night stay in a new Vintage Cruiser RV for $39.99, in exchange for attending a presentation on private membership.

    We checked in Wednesday evening, and the nicest staff I've ever met helped us acclimate to RV living. We are new to this game. They patiently described how to utilize the grey and black water tanks, as well as encouraged us to check-out the canoes, row boats, bikes, horseshoes, ladder golf and many other entertainment items - for FREE!

    The map provided was accurate which made locating the cruiser a breeze. There were further instructions inside as well. The RV was immaculate. Provided for our use were all linens (a public very clean bath and shower was just across the road), dish soap, dish towels, paper towels, flat wear, plates, bowls, mugs and pans.

    The campground has a couple of ponds, as well as access to Ham Lake where the watercraft is launched. There is a petting arena with goats, ponies, and a llama who gave my partner the stink eye, but fell in love with me rubbing the fence and giving me all googly eyes!

    The clubhouse sells bundled wood, ice, snacks, cold drinks, ice cream and provides 24-hour fresh coffee. There is also a small resupply area, and gift shop.

    There are pull-through sites, back ups, 50 and 30 amp hook ups, and tent sites, covered pavilions, picnic tables and fire pits.

    The campground itself seems remote, secluded and peaceful, however, you are conveniently located to two well-stocked convenience stores, as well as Wal-Mart about 15 minutes away. It's also only about 45 minutes from the Minnesota Twin Cities.

    One note: We visited in August and needed gallons of bug spray.

    We very much enjoyed our get away!

    Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins

    Great Cold Weather Option

    Super simple camping cabins. They each have 4 spots and have contactless entry as you get sent a code to use. There is no cooking inside the cabin so you have to use the fire ring outside. Shower facilities are really nice and match the cabins. Plan ahead as these are hard to come by.

    Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park

    convenient get away

    We took a 30 minute drive north of the cities for a quick get away, and were rewarded with a very nice campground!

    The check in staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. She gave us the info we needed for wood and other campgrounds in the area.

    Our site was clear, flat and grassy, and had an established fire pit. Other loops had grills and hook ups for pop-up campers and RVs.

    There is a gorgeous beach area with tables, a pavilion, changing rooms and a well equipped playground.

    We walked a portion of the trails towards the golf course, on a paved path under a green canopy.

    Plenty of bugs, so bring your spray!

    Wild River State Park Campground

    Solid option with star gazing

    This is a solid state park offering. The sites are decently spaced with good tree cover. Noise seemed to travel between sites, I had some loud neighbors during the day but they settled down before quiet hours. The grass was easy to get tent stakes into. Bathrooms were your basic state park situation. Clean with warm showers so no complaints from me. The star gazing area was great! Intermittently had 1-2 bars of T-Mobile with LTE Internet. Wi-Fi is available at the park entrance.

    Afton State Park Campground

    Hiking and Yurting

    I have stayed multiple times in the hike in camp sites and also in the yurt! The hike in sites were beautiful with a view looking over the St. Croix River. It was a shaded site perfect for our hammocks, it was quiet and very secluded. The Yurt was very cool! Very comfortable beds and plenty of space for the 6 of us to stay and sleep. The fire pit and picnic table wasn't far from the yurt which made it nice to not have to walk too far since we camped in the winter. I highly suggest the expeeience of the yurt!

    Afton State Park Campground

    A Nice Secluded Overnight Trip

    Great state park with lots of amenities. This was only my second camping trip, my first being the superior trail with an 8 mile hike in and no amenities. More fun in my opinion to search for your own firewood and really rough it, but it was to have water and wood available close to the site we were at (site 22) because we got in later and lost some daylight. The hike in was shorter and far less strenuous than my first trip, but note that it is uphill. If you’re carrying a heavy pack, expect to sweat a bit. Paved sidewalks into the park, wide dirt and rocky paths into the camp site which was nice given the amount of other day hikers (space to spread out). My boyfriend and I loved that our site was so secluded. There is also a lot of variety to the sites. The sites 1 through about 10 (if my memory doesn’t fail me) are fairly wooded. Our site had a nice balance of wooded area and open terrain/sky. We were lucky to get to see some beautiful fall colors.

    A few notes: the wood provided is THICK. They must haul the logs in with a truck. Saws are provided at the wood site, but be prepared to take some time on it. We had a hand saw so we were able to pack our packs with some large pieces and do some sawing at our campsite as the sawing station was busy with families and other campers. Lots of bark available to get a good fire started. The wood is not covered so if it rains the night before you come in, be ready to deal with some damp wood.

    Water station takes about 30 seconds to start up. There are also two bathrooms within the camp site that are what you expect them to be. Hand sanitizer and TP stocked.

    Never saw a ranger while we were there. We loved the privacy. Lots of spiders. Comes with the terrain.

    The site was perfect for our hammocks. They are super kind if you want to call ahead to get an idea of what your site looks like. It was also great to be able to see what other sites were occupied on the day we decided to make a reservation. There is a grill top on your fire pit (we packed our own grill top, could’ve left it at home).

    Overall it was a great overnight trip. Close to our home so I’m sure we’ll be back for a quick trip next year.

    Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park

    Night in the woods

    It was very easy to find, close to the twin cities, and clean. There was good access to kindling for a fire in the nice fire pit that has a grill. There is ample room to park a car and put up a large tent. We were impressed with the upkeep of the park.

    Wild River State Park Campground

    Great, Large, Classic Park with River Walks

    Lots of different camping spots. All with trees surrounding your area for a little bit of privacy but the spots are relatively close to each other. We really liked the far end of the campsite but would've preferred campsite 89 or 91 or any on those sides because they seemed to have the most room and privacy.

    Toilets were great and they had some bathrooms not too far away that have running water as well.

    Trails that ran along the river were great!


Guide to Roberts

Glamping and camping opportunities near Roberts, Wisconsin combine dense woodland settings with prairie landscapes across the St. Croix River Valley region. Sites typically range from 500-800 feet in elevation with a humid continental climate that brings warm summers with average July highs of 83°F and cold winters. Most campgrounds in this area feature a mix of wooded and open sites with varying degrees of privacy depending on seasonal foliage coverage.

What to do

Hiking at multiple skill levels: Afton State Park offers extensive trail systems for every ability. As one camper notes, "I hiked 11 miles here and it was awesome!" Another visitor had an unexpected wildlife encounter: "We went to Afton for a day trip filled with hiking, picnicking and scoping out future camping sites. Then I saw the snake. I literally grabbed my husband to hold him back from stepping on it."

Petting zoo access: Ham Lake Resort offers unique animal interactions not found at other campgrounds. According to one visitor: "There is a petting arena with goats, ponies, and a llama who gave my partner the stink eye, but fell in love with me rubbing the fence and giving me all googly eyes!"

Water recreation options: Lake Byllesby Regional Park provides swimming and boating opportunities. One visitor reports: "The lake is right next to the campground with RV sites right on the water." However, another camper warns: "The only thing disappointing is the lake becomes green with algae as the summer goes on."

What campers like

Semi-secluded camping with prairie views: Afton State Park Campground offers unique camping experiences with a mix of terrain. One visitor explains: "The hike to the campground is short and grueling. A few of the sites are in wooded areas, but we stayed in one of the prairie sites. The terrain is just hilly enough - and in August - the grass long enough to give the sites a sense of privacy and seclusion."

Proximity to urban areas: Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park balances wilderness feeling with convenience. A camper shares: "Wonderful site! Feels very secluded in spite of being so close to the cities. Great beach & sunrise." Another visitor points out: "We took a 30 minute drive north of the cities for a quick get away, and were rewarded with a very nice campground!"

Winter glamping options: Several glamping sites near Roberts, Wisconsin operate year-round. A visitor to Whitetail Woods notes: "The cabins in the woods are great in winter with snow on the pine trees. I would probably prefer the prairie cabins in the summer, especially with mosquitoes."

What you should know

Water access considerations: Not all parks maintain reliable water sources on trails. One visitor to Wild River State Park cautions: "This is a big park with a diversity of hiking, equestrian, and canoeing options. Since the park runs along the St. Croix, there are beautiful river-side walks to be had."

Seasonal water quality issues: Water recreation varies by season in certain parks. One camper mentions: "The sites are nicely spaced and diverse. Some are more wooded and others in the open prairie, providing good privacy and seclusion."
