16821 O'Brien Trail North, Marine on St. Croix, MN 55047
Families and paddlers who book early and grab an electric site will get the most from this place. The St. Croix River channels hold walleye, bass, and northern pike, and the Wetland Trail puts beavers and river overlooks within easy walking distance of camp.
Sites sit close together, and weekend crowds from the Cities are real. Privacy seekers will be disappointed unless they target walk-in sites. Shower access is limited to a handful of stalls, so if that's a dealbreaker, call ahead to confirm availability before you drive out.

Summer delivers the warmest, most reliable conditions for paddling and swimming, with daytime highs in the low 70s to mid-80s°F. Park services and boat access run full schedule, and wildlife viewing peaks along the river. Fall brings comfortable hiking temperatures and hillsides of gold and red. Winter opens the trails for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, though campground facilities close mid-October. Weekends draw heavy crowds from the Twin Cities in any season; weekday visits stay quieter.
Trails, river overlooks and fall color make autumn excellent for hiking and viewing.
