Willow River State Park

Electric only! No water on site so fill up before you park. The waterfall is beautiful, but it’s a hard hike straight up hill on your way back to your camp or car. I only wanted to do that once! Camp site feels private although there are campers right next to you on all sides separated by bushes,  and trees.

Nice park, plenty of shade. Lots of privacy. Bathrooms were clean. There is a additional $10 fee just to enter the park (even after 5pm). We only stayed 1 night on our journey west. 

The lower loop 300 is the oldest and very tight for larger rigs. Lots of trees tight to the single lane loop. It’s closest to lake and beach which has now returned with new dam operating. Lots of hiking. Limited bike trails. Loop 100 and 200 are fairly new both have showers, proper toilets and pit toilets. Sites are spacious and generally level with a little shade. This a very popular state park with close proximity to MN. Plan ahead during summer months. Rates vary based on week or weekend with reservations online plus a park pass. 

Will never camp there again i have spent aloy of money camping here and i went to take a shower on a day i was not camping there the warden waited out side if the shower to fine me i have been coming to this park since 2005 and i will never come here again it is way to expensive as well and when i did rent a campsight the girls failed to tell me i would have to wait for the other person to leave and acted as if it was my fault i should have know that..

Cancelled the transaction as the price just kept increasing.  If they can't provide a user friendly res system, I have my doubts about all of the rest of the operation.  Found better more convenient and less costly accommodations at a KOA.

Only ok for a State Park. They had to remove the 100 year old dam that was ready to fail, so no water in lake, no beach, boat ramp goes to a field of grass. Nice hike to a water fall up stream where another dam had been removed years ago.
As a non resident I paid $25 for dry camping, plus $13 a day entry fee.  I think this is the first time I ever had to pay the entry fee for each day of my stay. Not worth it. Moved to Hoffman Park in River Falls. Half the price.  

Excellent condition Park.

Some electric sites and some without.  Some sites with gravel pads and some with asphalt.  Now sewer at sites.  All are very close to level.

Be aware that in addition to camping fee you will be charged a vehicle park entry fee.

Lots of hiking opportunities and when the dam is repaired a nice lake for paddling.
