Camping

Camping is CLOSED for the season.

Paying the camping fee online is not the same as making a reservation. Camping at the rest area is only available on a first come first serve basis.

You are responsible for ensuring there are sites available before paying the fee.

Camping is allowed only at the rest area on the north end of Crex Meadows Wildlife Area.  The camping season is from September 1 through December 31.  Campers should register at the Visitor Center either before they set up camp or the next morning if they arrive after the center closes.  The camping fee is $5 per vehicle, or $4 for members of the Friends of Crex or hunters with a valid Wisconsin hunting license and can be paid online.  Camping is NOT allowed anywhere else on the properties.  There are other places to camp in the region, including the Governor Knowles State Forest and canoe/walk-in sites along the St. Croix River.
