St. Croix State Park
This sprawling 34,000-acre park sits on the St. Croix River with 211 drive-in campsites spread across several loops. Sites vary from open prairie spots to heavily wooded riverside locations, with modern restrooms, showers, and a camp store. The park gets busy on summer weekends, but weekdays and shoulder seasons offer solitude. Fire restrictions follow standard Minnesota state park rules.
Access via Highway 48 from Hinckley — all paved roads to the campground. The park connects to several canoe routes and hiking trails, making it a solid basecamp for exploring the St. Croix River valley and nearby state forests.
