67, primitive, Leave No Trace camp sites are located on the Namekagon River from Namekagon Dam to the confluence of the St Croix River and on the St. Croix River from Gordon Dam to Riverside Landing. All sites are free. No permit required. Camp only in designated sites marked with brown camping sign and metal fire ring. Sites are available first-come, first-served.
Getting there
Campsite locations are along the 100-mile reach of the riverway from Namekagon Dam to the confluence. Each campsite is identified by a square brown sign with a tent symbol at the river's edge and located near the take-out or beach area of that site.
