Governor Knowles State Forest encompasses Sioux Portage Group Campground, a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources facility located southwest of Danbury. The campground operates as an established site within the state forest system, providing group camping accommodations for organized parties. Access requires advance reservations through the state park system, as individual walk-in camping is not permitted at this location.
The facility sits within the larger forest boundary that extends along the St. Croix River corridor. Groups planning extended stays in the region can explore campgrounds near Danbury for additional options. St. Johns Landing offers individual site camping approximately three miles west for those seeking alternatives to group arrangements.
Description
This 55-mile-long forest in northwestern Wisconsin parallels the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and offers camping, canoeing/kayaking, hiking, horseback riding, biking, hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. Three campgrounds (St. Croix Family Campground, Trade River Equestrian Campground, and Sioux Portage Group Camp) are available. There are also nine primitive backpack sites available by contacting the forest headquarters for a special permit.
