William O'Brien State Park

We stayed here as a shakedown run of our new camper. We knew from satalite maps and pictures that it wouldn't a particularly private Campground but we didn't expect it to be as open as it was. There was no brush or trees between out campsite and the two behind us and the one to our right. There is absolutely zero privacy. You are exposed on all sides. Our fire ring was as close to our camper as our neighbors. Every direction we looked out of our camper we could easily see people. This Campground is also swarming with kids who were apparently not taught to look before running or riding their bikes into a roadway. The closeness of the same sites along with the number of them and being in a river valley made the air quality from all the camp fires in the evening very poor. We didn't use the shower or bathroom buildings so I am unable to comment on that. The good: the site was fairly easy to get into, it was pretty level, the electric pedestal was in a good location, firewood is for sale right in the Campground, and there is drinking water available to fill your camper at the dump station. We probably wouldn't stay here again unless we need to do a shakedown again.

Note: I marked cell service as 1 bar of lte which is what our phones indicated but it was functional useless as pretty much nothing would load.

There are 2 campgrounds here. The lower campground is on the river and is close to the beach, picnic area and accessible walking trails however the sites are not as private and much closer together.

The upper campground the sites are large and very private. You can get to many hiking trails from this campground as well.

There is a trail center between the campgrounds and you can bike to the small town of Marine on St. Croix.

Also, about 12 miles south is the town of Stillwater with great little shops, restaurants, etc.
