Best Time to Camp at Camper Cabins And Yurts Campground

This is genuine four-season camping at its finest. Summer draws visitors for swimming, hiking, and horseback riding under warm skies, while autumn transforms the bluffs into a tapestry of gold and crimson. When winter arrives, retreat to your heated cabin or wood-stove-warmed yurt after a day of cross-country skiing or sledding through snow-dusted prairies. Spring awakens the wildflowers but can leave trails muddy—come prepared with good boots. Fair warning: these exposed bluffs and open prairies catch the wind year-round, so pack an extra layer and embrace the fresh air.

About Camper Cabins And Yurts Campground

Escape to a hilltop retreat where four rustic camper cabins and two cozy yurts await on oak-crowned bluffs overlooking the St. Croix River. These hike-in accommodations cluster together in the park's peaceful southeast corner, offering a quiet base camp surrounded by restored prairie and convenient access to river overlooks and trails.

Six reservable lodging units: four camper cabins and two yurts grouped in the southeast part of Afton State Park. Units are hike-in from parking; cabins include electricity and heat while yurts have wood-stove heat and no indoor plumbing.

Historical Significance

Located within the St. Croix River Valley, a nationally significant scenic riverway; the park's landscape reflects Driftless Region topography and includes restored native prairies and oak savanna communities.

Natural Features and SceneryYour cabin or yurt perches above one of Minnesota's most scenic river valleys, where rolling prairies meet oak-covered bluffs that sweep down to the St. Croix. Step outside to explore trails winding through restored prairie and oak savanna, climbing to grassy ridgetops where panoramic views of the river valley unfold below. Steep ravines carve dramatic contours into the landscape, while prairie wildflowers paint the hillsides with seasonal color—a photographer's dream and a hiker's paradise all in one.

Go if

Hikers who travel light and want a cabin or yurt with screened porches, river overlooks, and trail access to prairies, ravines, and a sandy beach will get their money's worth here, especially on summer weekdays when the beach is at its best.

Skip if

Hauling coolers and water up to 2 miles of steep trail is a real trip-breaker for families with young kids or anyone with mobility limits, and there are no showers, flush toilets, or hookups of any kind once you're there.

Wall Tent Campground sits on a grassy prairie plateau 968 feet above the St. Croix River in Afton State Park, 30 minutes southeast of the Twin Cities. The hike-in group sites occupy the same upper bluff terrain as the park's primitive backpack sites, offering big sky views and solitude once you haul your gear up the steep climb. Amenities are rustic: vault toilets, a solar water pump, and quiet.
