"Campers report that the Group Campground offers good group sites and a well-maintained bathroom with a shower. The main downside noted is that group sites sit very close to one another with minimal foliage separation, so privacy is limited compared with other group campgrounds."

Best Time to Camp at Group Campground

Each season paints St. Croix State Park in completely different colors, giving your group endless reasons to return. Summer days stretch long and warm, inviting you to explore miles of trails by foot, bike, or horseback before cooling off with a river paddle or cast your line into the St. Croix's productive waters. When winter arrives, those same trails transform into a snow-covered wonderland for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, while the frozen landscape settles into a peaceful hush that makes you feel like you're the only people for miles.

Planning Tips

    About Group Campground

    Step back in time at these six historic one-room cabins, hand-built by the Veterans' Conservation Corps in the early 1940s and lovingly restored with their original wooden furniture. Nestled near the magnificent St. Croix River, these seasonal rustic retreats offer an authentic wilderness experience where you can disconnect from modern life and reconnect with nature.
    Campers can reserve drive-in, walk-in, backpack, and horseback campsites. Large groups can reserve modern group centers or primitive group camps.
