GuideApple River County Park Campground
Peaceful, hidden gem for simple campers, wonderful water
There are surprisingly few campgrounds in this area with overnight camping - most are just giant trailer parks for people who stay the entire season. We were pleased to find this "real" campground close enough for segment hikes on the Ice Age Trail, 12 miles away at the closest. Some sites do have electricity, but pit toilets, no showers. I took advantage of the Apple River instead - it's just a short walk away, wonderful for wading, has some deeper pools for a cool dip. The water from the hand pump is cold and delicious. We noticed several cars, probably local, stop and fill jugs to take home.

Nope
Have to balance out the last review. Right off the road, you can’t drive very far in. Looks like a squatter camping from the road. Also feels like squatting on the corner of someone’s property off the road.

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.

Nice Campsite
Nice 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.

Pardun’s Jack Pine Campground
This is for Pardun’s Tube Rental. Don't give this man your business!
If 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.
Dana D.GuideEagles Landing Campground
Clean and pretty. But some traffic noise.
This 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.
Guide to Webster
Dispersed camping options near Webster, Wisconsin offer rustic alternatives for visitors with pets. The surrounding St. Croix River area sits at an elevation of approximately 1,000 feet and experiences distinct seasonal changes with summer highs averaging in the 80s and winter lows frequently dropping below zero. Grace Lake Road Dispersed camping area features several primitive sites positioned about 20 feet from the water where fishing can be productive.
What to do
Hiking trail diversity: Wild River State Park Campground provides numerous trails with varying difficulty levels. "The park is huge and beautiful. We snowshoed and skied. I really enjoyed the snowshoe hike along the St Croix River and watched the full moon rise," notes Joanna B., highlighting the park's year-round recreation potential.
River recreation: Opportunities for water activities abound throughout the region. At Boulder Campground, Daniel G. recommends: "We got there around 10am on a Friday and there were a couple sites taken but the rest were up for grabs. Lake was clean. The road to the park had water access to the river as well. Lots of ATV and Hiking trails."
Wildlife observation: The area hosts diverse wildlife viewing opportunities. Sara P. shares her experience: "We DID have fun doing some of the activities like hunting for insects/animals in the pond with the ranger, hiking to the ranger tower, playing at the playground, and trying to catch butterflies with the ranger."
What campers like
Secluded campsites: Many campsites throughout the region offer privacy from neighbors. At Boulder Campground, Craig B. appreciated the "great secluded spots and the campground is always empty. It is definitely more primitive with pit toilets and hand pump wells."
Night sky viewing: The area's limited light pollution creates excellent stargazing conditions. At Wild River State Park, Katherine T. notes: "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."
Rustic camping experience: For those seeking a more primitive experience, Grace Lake Road Dispersed camping provides basic accommodations. Michael S. reports: "Very quit night. Stayed a night here on our way up to the boundary waters gate is very narrow had to fold the mirrors on my Tacoma to squeeze through but if you park at the entrance it's a short walk."
What you should know
Insect preparation: Mosquitoes can be particularly problematic during summer months. "We spent a weekend at the park and had a terrible experience last year trying to camp here, BUT it's not the campgrounds fault! Unfortunately we chose the peak of mosquitos season and camping next to slow moving water is a recipe for disaster," warns Lili R. about Old Logging Trail Campground.
Limited water quality: Some campgrounds have issues with water sources. At Boulder Campground, Michael U. found: "There's a hand pumped well, but the water is fairly brown. $17 per night. You can pay with an QR, or they have envelopes to mail the payment after you leave."
Seasonal considerations: Weather conditions vary dramatically by season, affecting camping comfort. "It snowed … in late March. I stayed in the campground in late March, 2025. This is a big park with a diversity of hiking, equestrian, and canoeing options," reports Erik R.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas for children. At St. Croix River Resort, Robert notes: "We stayed at the Resort for 3 nights nice and shady huge playground for kids indoor pool volleyball net lots of water near by getting in and out is easy nice wide roads."
Swimming options: Water recreation opportunities vary by location. Joe S. shares: "We stayed here with my extended family in a couple of cabins. It is nice and wooded. The pool is indoors which is nice and has drawbacks. It is a good sized pool."
Educational programming: Many parks offer ranger-led activities for children. Tori K. advises: "Multiple restrooms and showers throughout the campgrounds. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table, and wood can be purchased at the office. Cell service is fairly spotty here so come with podcasts or shows downloaded ahead of time!"
Tips from RVers
Site layout considerations: RV sites vary significantly across campgrounds. At Dongola Campground, Chad & reports: "Of all the RV parks we have stayed at, Dongola Campground is by far our favorite! It's just far enough out of town to be tranquil but close enough for convenience. There are groomed/mowed trails that wind through the beautiful 40 acre property, great for walking, bicycling, or golf carts."
Hookup availability: Electric, water, and sewer connections vary by campground. Nancy J. endorses Dongola Campground: "Great place to stay, a hidden gem for sure! The owner is absolutely amazing! Give it a try, I can promise you that you'll love it, sunny spots, shady spots & just an all around beautiful spot!"
Campground cleanliness: Facility maintenance is important for RV campers. Dave T. appreciated St Croix River Resort: "Very nice campground. Can't stress enough how CLEAN the restrooms and showers are. Cleaned 3x daily due to COVID. Site drained VERY well during and after heavy rain."
