About
Middle St. Croix provides 57 primitive camping sites scattered along the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway between Riverside Landing and Highway 8 at St. Croix Falls-Taylors Falls. These free, designated sites are marked with brown camping signs and metal fire rings, offering a rustic camping experience in a beautiful forested river corridor. Most sites include picnic tables, and vault toilets are located near campsites, though campers should bring their own toilet paper. Drinking water is not available, so campers must bring their own supply. This is first-come, first-served camping with no reservations or permits required. Individual sites accommodate up to 8 people and 3 tents, while group sites can accommodate 10 people and 6 tents. There is a three-night maximum stay, and all campsites must be occupied on the first night. Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am daily. Fires are only allowed in the provided metal fire rings, and dead and down wood may be collected (except from islands). RVs and trailers are not permitted at these primitive sites.
