Namekagon Trail Bridge

The Namekagon River offers designated off-shore camping sites for paddlers and recreational users. These sites are positioned along the river's edge, some near rice banks, making them ideal for multi-day paddling trips. Maps are available showing the locations of these riverside camping areas. The sites are designed for canoe-in access and provide beautiful natural settings with minimal development, perfect for those seeking an immersive river experience.

Camping on the Namekagon River typically requires a free permit from the National Park Service, as the river is part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. These permits help manage visitor use and protect the river environment. Contact the St. Croix River Visitor Center or check the NPS website to obtain your permit before your trip. While permits are generally straightforward to acquire, having one in advance ensures a hassle-free camping experience.

According to campers on TheDyrt.com, there is no coverage for AT&T, no coverage for T-Mobile, and no coverage for Verizon.
