Big Rock Creek

15 RV Sites, 3 Glamping Sites, 1 Yurt

Big Rock Creek in Saint Croix Falls, Wisconsin, offers 11 RV sites and four glamping sites and yurts on the banks of the St. Croix River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Back-in categories at both amperages join a recreation center, general store, walking trails, playground, and pond. Eleven back-in sites run in 30-amp and 50-amp categories, carrying electric service with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — these are electric sites rather than full hookup, so arrive with full water and empty tanks and confirm dump arrangements when you book. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Four glamping sites and yurts plus cabins round out the lodging. A general store, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. A recreation center, walking trails, playground, and pond fill the grounds, with the creek and river carrying swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and biking. Pets are welcome. The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway protects this corridor, and it is one of the most pristine paddling and fishing environments in the Midwest — a federally designated Wild and Scenic River with clear water, sandstone bluffs, and a genuinely undeveloped feel despite sitting less than an hour from the Twin Cities. Interstate State Park is minutes away with its glacial potholes and the Dalles of the St. Croix, and Polk County's rolling farm and forest country surrounds the rest. Summer paddling season drives the heaviest demand, with fall color drawing a strong second wave. Reserve ahead for July and August weekends.
