Interstate State Park is a beautiful place! Plenty of hiking to do. Spectacular views to see. Stayed in campsite number 33 which was right next to the restroom/showers; we didn't care for that. Moderately shaded, not very private sites. I would recommend site number 23 as it's by some really neat rocks. Overall we really enjoyed this park and will definitely go back again. We camped here in a Tent.
This State Park camp is on the Saint Croix river. It is a little tricky finding as the highway signs crossing the river from the east and in town are not clear for a first time visitor and the park turnoff sign comes up on you quickly. Once in the park the roads are paved and of adequate size except right in the campground loop the trees can be close to the road. Sites are back-in and not all are large enough for big rigs. There is 30 amp electric hookup only, with a dump station. The park has hiking trails and is close to the boat ride on the river. I marked it down for the general lack of camp facilities, not the facilities they have. This lack is typical of public facilities is this part of the country. We would stay here again.

I should have read the reviews on here first before going. Everything that has been written about this place is true. It is terribly run down. The staff was nice and as helpful as could be. The pool was cold, and needs some repair work. The activities that they offer are very old and run down. Tent sites are nice!. The check-in building looks like it could blow over in the wind. We have 16 and 12 year olds and they were bored. You are about 10 min to the other activities like Wild Mountain and Boat tours. If you do not like to ride and want to just watch at Wildmountain--you can and not buy a ticket. We will NOT be back to this campground. For the money we will find some other place to camp. No shade, very un-even campsites. Behind our campsite was a huge Grater for gravel. The shower house near us ran out of propane--so no hot water for those poor people. Also we were with a group and were not placed next to each other even when we asked to be once we got there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were very disappointed with this campground. The pool was closed part of the time and dirty the rest of the time. The playground is OK, but both the playground and pool were far away from our site. There were no hot showers, no activities, poor gravel roads so biking for the kids was very difficult, no shade, and traffic was constantly driving in, out, and around all the sites. We were even located in the back "newer" section and always had to worry about vehicles. This section also had sites that faced each other so "our" camp area was largely decreased and awkward at times with the neighbors. I think this campground would be more suitable for partying tenters as the tent areas were quite nice. The only good were several rules about noise and such, and security was frequently driving around monitoring activities. I would not camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
You might think that this campground is near Wild Mountain, but it is not even close. Bathrooms & showers are new & beautiful. Sites are nice & big. Not too much to do here. It's OK if you are planning to enjoy Taylor's Falls and need a place in the area. Playground equipment is old. Pool is a distance from the campsites. We would not go back. The kids (ages 6-8) got bored at this campground. If you do visit Taylor's Falls, make sure you go to Fawn-Doe-Rosa, a deer park in the area. Lots of fun! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This campground is in need of an update and cleaning! Campsites are not clearly marked and not level. Upon checkin we couldn't find our site! We had to ask someone walking around to help us find the area. We got a back in site with electric located about 25 feet on right hand side and water was more than 30 feet on the left hand side. Our site was located next to permanent, junky campsites. Showers are various doors located on a building which you have to walk around to check for an unlocked one. Although pool water was clean, pool decking was cracked, chunks of the sides were missing. Pool deck had ants and assorted plastic chairs and no umbrellas or shade. Highway noise and pool noise was constant at our campsite. For some reason there is 8 foot fencing located in various locations to which we had to walk clear around to get to the playground and bathrooms. Office was like a barn with no one over 18 working the desk. This campground will haul canoers and tubers to the river. Price to canoe was near $40 per canoe which is higher than other places we've checked, $8 for tubing. While we walked around the campsite we saw some beautiful tent sites located on the back perimeter of the campground. We wouldn't put this on our return-to list, even if we could get a different site. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
