About St Croix NSR-Snake River Landing
Campground in Minnesota.
Nestled along the scenic Snake River in Minnesota, St. Croix NSR-Snake River Landing offers RV campers a serene escape into nature where river views and outdoor recreation converge. This public campground provides an ideal basecamp for exploring one of Minnesota's most beloved waterways, where the gentle flow of the Snake River creates a peaceful backdrop for your camping adventure.
The location puts you right in the heart of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, a designated national treasure that stretches for miles through pristine Minnesota and Wisconsin landscapes. The river itself is the star attraction here, offering excellent opportunities for paddling, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Whether you're an avid angler hoping to catch walleye and northern pike, or someone who simply enjoys the meditative quality of watching water flow by, the Snake River delivers a authentic natural experience that feels worlds away from everyday life.
The surrounding region is rich with activities for every outdoor enthusiast. Hiking trails wind through nearby forests, offering glimpses of bald eagles, deer, and other native wildlife. The area is particularly magical during fall when the trees transform into brilliant displays of red, orange, and gold. Spring and summer bring wildflowers and perfect weather for exploring the river's many access points and scenic overlooks.
Beyond the immediate riverfront, you'll find charming small towns within reasonable driving distance that offer supplies, dining, and local attractions. The region has deep cultural significance, with plenty of opportunities to learn about Minnesota's natural and human history. For those interested in outdoor photography, the changing light on the river at sunrise and sunset provides endless inspiration.
This campground appeals to families seeking a peaceful retreat, couples looking for a romantic getaway in nature, serious anglers, paddlers, and anyone who wants to disconnect and reconnect with the outdoors. The 4.3-star rating reflects the genuine quality and appeal this location holds for visitors seeking authentic riverside camping in Minnesota.

Love the trails and pollinator garden. The rangers at Visitor Center were fantastic. We love the Junior Ranger program! Highly recommended for young ones!

There is a lot to do, and I mean a LOT! To do up and down both sides of the St Croix Scenic Riverway. Been exploring this river and towns my entire life. Also lived 1 block from the St Croix in Stillwater You can view my other reviews for individual locations along this stretch Eventually I will plan a kayak backpacking trip along this route … let me get back to you 😉

Fabulous campground in a terrific location! So much to see & do. Nice BIG full-hookup sites, a camp store with EVERYTHING, impeccably clean showers and bathrooms. The staff has been delightful and they even brought in food trucks for Labor Day! Brilliant! Did I mention the indoor pool? Or the disc golf course? We have truly enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend a visit. 🥰

This is our 2nd year going to the St. Croix River Resort for the MEA Halloween weekend. There are so many activities and things for the kids to do! The indoor heated pool is a blast (pool deck can be slippery - NO running). Trails for exploring, large playground, and arts/crafts made it an awesome weekend for our stay. This is going to be our new family tradition over MEA weekend!

My family and I love going to this camp ground. Nice and quit, peaceful, and clean. People are friendly and helpful. If you have a problem they go out of their way to help. The pool is warm and relaxful. The only complaint is the price of wood.

St. Croix River resort is a fun campground to go to weather it’s for a weekend or a week. The staff is excellent in all categories. It is located between 2 casinos. There is a grocery store within 7 miles in case you forget something. There is Tubing down the river out of Parduns located 6 miles away. Saturdays is activity day and the ice cream truck comes through at 4. I would suggest this plac... St. Croix River resort is a fun campground to go to weather it’s for a weekend or a week.

I would suggest this place to families because there is an indoor pool, a nice playground and Atv trails nearby.
