Best Time to Camp at Guest Houses - Norway Point

Norway Point welcomes groups seasonally—typically late spring through early fall when the beach beckons and the ball field is ready for action. Summer days are warm and perfect for outdoor activities, though you'll want to pack insect repellent for mosquitoes and check for ticks after forest adventures. Fall visits reward groups with crisp, comfortable temperatures and a spectacular show of autumn color as the hardwoods transform the landscape into a patchwork of gold, orange, and crimson. Be sure to confirm operating dates with Minnesota DNR when planning your trip.

About Guest Houses - Norway Point

Tucked into the heart of St. Croix State Park, Norway Point Guest Houses offers organized groups a classic Northwoods retreat with everything you need for memorable gatherings. Your group will enjoy a village of sleeping cabins clustered around a central dining hall, plus craft buildings, shared facilities, a sandy swimming beach, and a ball field—all connected by forest paths and centered around a traditional council fire ring.

A DNR-operated group center featuring multiple cabins/guest houses (villages), a central dining hall and shared support facilities. Norway Point is organized for groups rather than individual campsite stays.

Historical Significance

St. Croix State Park is shaped by the region's logging and river‑drive history; park features include historic park structures and a fire tower. Norway Point functions as one of the park's group centers developed for organized groups (youth camps, schools, community groups), though specific historic designations for the Norway Point guest houses were not detailed in the available sources.

Be sure to confirm operating dates with Minnesota DNR when planning your trip.

Natural Features and SceneryNorway Point sits in the beautiful St. Croix River corridor, where towering pines mix with hardwoods, wetlands, and sunny meadows to create quintessential Minnesota Northwoods scenery. While your group's base camp includes developed amenities like the beach and ball field, you're surrounded by largely wooded terrain that invites exploration and wildlife watching. Deer, waterfowl, and songbirds are regular visitors, and the mix of river bottomland and upland forest means every walk reveals something new—whether it's a hidden wetland teeming with frogs or a stand of ancient white pines.
