This park needs some serious work. Spaces designated for RVs are fairly haphazard. We plugged into an electric box that already had at least one RV plugged in with other cords coming out besides. Spaces very close to each other with very little room for parking a vehicle. Woke up every morning at 5:30 a.m. to the neighbor talking loudly/yelling to her (five--yes, FIVE!!) pitbulls while allowing them to relieve themselves behind our motor home and never once cleaning up after them. Bathrooms were scary--not private at all. Shower curtains hide the stalls with no doors on the bathrooms themselves. My husband went in the first morning to find the stalls in the men's bathroom covered in vomit. Park itself is in the great neighborhood of St. Anthony but inside the park is a different story. Very run down. Manager nice and does what he can but owners should hire more help! A few rules regarding age of units and pet restrictions would clean up this park in a hurry. Ridiculously overpriced considering we couldn't use the facilities at all. We only used the park for sleeping--didn't use bathrooms, laundry, etc. - desertrat74

Approximately 60% of the spaces are fulltime, low income residents. Though the majority are nice people, there are a few unsavory characters. The manager is a "Jack of all trades". He is a wonderful, caring person...but stretched between this and 2 other sites. Access to the site was acceptable. the original site they put us in did not allow us to extend our awning as we were literally 4 feet from campers on either side. We moved to another site, that allowed use of the awning and was approximately 20' from the unit next store.
We chose this facility because of its proximity to downtown Minneapolis and the fact that the public transportation stopped right outside the park. (We do not tow, so access to public transportation in an urban environment is a real plus. That and reliable, accessible power and water were the only positives! - Ncw

Many permanents, which creates noise in the AM when they leave for work. Some units have a bit of junk around them. The park office closes mid-afternoon and after that the manager must be called. He apparently has another full-time job but is very helpful and cooperative. Utilities were good. This is not a destination resort but should serve very well for a day or week or more. This is a very urban setting for a park but it is close to the center of town. We felt quite safe here and would definitely stay here again because of it's central location. - gene a

This is a great park. Gravel sites, picnic tables, fire pits and grills. Sites are large and semi private. They have back in and pull thrus. Great for biking and walking. Big rigs are not a problem. - gmbmailbox

Arrived after hours because a different reservation fell through. The camp host was wonderfully helpful and the campsites were spacious. There are trees and tall grasses separating the sites so you might see one neighbor at most. As with most campgrounds in Minnesota there are mosquitoes everywhere. - Keystone Trail

Another great county park. There is easy access from I35. All sites are gravel, level, big rig easy, electric, water and dump station. Our site was very private as we noticed most sites are very large, treed privacy, dark, grass, firepits and table. Really appreciate that grass is trimmed, bugs are minimal and staff are extremely friendly and efficient. This is a real gem for rvers and tenters. - RJourney

First off I want to point out that we stayed here in mid-May so campground was maybe 25-30% occupied. This is a county park and there are lots of summer activities for kids.
Sites were spacious, gravel, level and shaded. Restrooms were immaculate but small for the number of sites. Trails ran fairly close to the sites. No WiFi or sewer hookups. The dump station was clean and well maintained. We would certainly stay again if in the area prior to June or after September. I think it would be a great campground if camping with children. - Dave F

You need to pay for a day pass $3/day. Site is dirt, pull through, shaded. Very roomy in a "loop" by yourself. Water and Electric only, dump at exit. Playground, dog park (but in another loop) plenty of places to walk, water park, activities at center. Would return. - jcpjane

Minnesotan's love to camp and it shows! Made reservations six months in advance to have weekends with only two sites available then. Upon arrival found our sites were very nice. All sites appear to be very large, spacious, level, isolated. Water pressure and electric were strong. Any negative would be minimal but would be overhanging trees scrapped top and sides of motorhome (could easily be trimmed), only one dump station, lack of operating security gate, dirt roads and popularity (difficult to get sites on weekends). Location is a strong positive as well as many trails, activities, friendly personnel, cleanliness, lack of bugs, playground, and quiet. Annual pass for $25 is for a rolling 12 months otherwise $5 Per day for vehicle. - RJourney

This campground has a pool, shuffle board, playground, horse shoes, croquet, and a basketball hoop with ball. They have mini golf for an additional charge. Each site has a fire pit. The campground store is well stocked and the laundry area is very clean. The campground also has 2 cabins that can be rented. The owners and staff will make every effort to make your stay comfortable. - Sue H

Nice campground, your typical KOA. Hosts were super nice. Sites were not as level as they could be, we had a big step up into our rig after getting it level. The location is good for amenities, lots of shopping for anything nearby. Lots of room to walk the dogs. They did have an issue with a water pipe one evening, but worked furiously to dig it up and fix it, so we weren't without water very long. The campground is very neat, lawns mowed and tidy. With a little sprucing up, this could be a very nice campground. We would stay here again. - scubajoe

Stayed at this park 2 years ago and most sites are on grass, spacious, quiet, level and big rig friendly. However, have tried to stay last year and this year by leaving voicemails with management as directed by answering machine as early as March and to date have not received a return call indicating they are full, have vacancies or any communication. The service of staff at this park is very questionable which is sad for rvers. - RJourney

This park is beautiful with hiking trails and a lake. The spots are wide and spacious and the electric was 50amp. Good cell service for both ATT and Verizon due to proximity to St. Paul. The only down side is they have a very strict pet policy. This was a non issue for us since we don't travel with pets but many people do. - Lee and Trace

Beautiful park with nice spacing between camp sites. There is one 50 AMP Site (#14) but they limit the stay to 7 nights per campsite- no exceptions. They have good access to potable water. And there is convenient dump too. Great walking and bike trails, both paved and off road. Access to the lake for boating & fishing, with a separate swim area. Very close to freeway and shopping. - TregAdventurer

Clean, quiet, scenic, family-friendly. This campground is one of our favorites in Minnesota.

This campground is a consistent winner! - MNDoodles

We are staying the last few days of this season. They are closing early (Oct 4) to do some major maintenance. Usual closing is Mid October. Sites are level enough to use without jacks or planks. One wonders why the water was set at the corner of the street. Bring plenty of hose. - easydoesit

In the woods! Quiet RV park with full hook-ups. Gravel sites with a picnic table and a fire pit in a large grassy area. There are only 5 pull-thru sites, so reserve early. The rest are back-in sites. No wi-fi, pool or cable. Close enought to Mpls/St Paul so your antenna will pick up local TV. - Michael Kibler

This is a very well maintained park. The sites are spacious with some shade. This park is in the metro Minneapolis area, but it is surrounded by trees and their motto is "forever wild", so you cannot tell you are in a city at all. Great WIFI connection. We stayed here 5 nights. Management is very good at making sure all rules are followed by everyone. One day we had a Senator stop by our site, to ask us questions about the park (some funding being requested). He had parked on the side of the road. One of the managers came by and told him he needed to move his car to the overflow area! - jacknpeg

Towne and Country Campground, Savage MN. This is an RV and travel trailer campground, not really optimized for tenting, but there are several family tenters here. We stayed in sites 19, 23 and 74. Sites are close, but good foliage makes them seem more separated. Full amenities, very close to Minneapolis. Full, modern shopping one mile south in Savage, Minnesota. Most of their RV sites are level with mature shade trees. Clean, well maintained, family atmosphere. Staff are friendly and help you back your trailer into your site. Showers and latrines are immaculate. Two washers, two big driers (quarters only). Small camp store in the office sells necessities. Surprise free random ice cream social in the game room on one day of our six-day stay! Rented a fire pit with wood bundle for only $5. Just added new sand to kids' playground and upgraded the Internet connection. Dump site turn-out is close to the entrance-exit. Highly recommended. - Dick and Linda

Very nice friendly staff. This was a recommendation from someone else we met who used to work here and learned that we were coming this way. Small park, nothing fancy, great WiFi & secure too! Good enough TV reception on a few stations. Nice and close to the Mall of America (which is why we came) and the "Twin Cities", so makes a great base. Sites are a little small, but not to bad, easy in & out. - MarieB

The restrooms and showers were extremely clean. The whole campground is on a slope, and the sites on the low side need to use blocking to make your unit level. The hook ups are at the rear, so you may need some additional hoses. The WiFi works at your site but does not have the best of connection. - Al and Anne-Marie

We stayed here a few years ago and loved it, so since we were looking for an overnighter in this area, we decided to come back here. We were not disappointed. This is just as nice as we remembered. This park was obviously set up by RVers, for RVers. They know what we like. Large, level sites with utilities that work perfectly. In addition, the people are very friendly. - mrpeepers

We camped here in the middle of the week and it was pretty empty, but we were leaving on Friday and noticed all the 50 amp spots were reserved for the weekend. This is a very pretty campground with lots of spaces. Unfortunately, we were so busy during our stay here that we didn't have time to explore. Our Big rig fit fine in the back in spaces. - Fishen4trout

I love Baker Park Campground, but after my last two stays, I have decided I that am better suited for camping here during the week. The park is very large, has everything to do including swimming, boating, biking, and hiking. With that said many people camp in clusters with friends and there are lots of children running around and biking. The campground is buzzing with activity until around 9 or 10 p.m. each night. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not the place for you. If this is your thing you will have tons of fun. The campground office is staffed with teenagers who know very little about the park and can't answer most questions about the campground. The park rangers are excellent about patrolling and enforcing the rules and they know more about the campground, so ask them questions. With all the rain, many campsites are muddy and smelly with standing water and muck. People were not happy and had to get creative on how they parked; no one was asked to move. We will be back during the week. It is conveniently located close to the Twin Cities. - brendajoro

We stayed there over the 4th of July and made reservations on the day the system opened in March and got the last site available. Very busy!!!! But a well kept park. There is a large lake with boating, fishing and beach along the many miles of trails. Every working person we ran into was about 16 years old (except for the construction workers)and didn't seem to have any mature adults supervising them. The restrooms were modern but so busy it was nearly impossible to keep them clean. - rhianna

From the pictures and description on the website, we had high hopes for this campground. Upon arrival, we were put in a campsite where the hookups for the water and electric were broken. So we had to move to a different site, after we had already unhooked and setup. The part of the campsite closest to the river resembles a gypsy camp. There are various makeshift tents constructed of tarps and chicken wire. There are loose dogs running around. Broken down cars covered with tarps. The bathrooms and showers are infested with spiders. The stall doors have so much rust on them that the bottoms are falling off. The toilet paper was always empty in a least one of the stalls. In the stalls that did have paper, the toilets were plugged. The pool looked as if it had not been cleaned for a very long time. There were cars racing in and out of the campground at all hours of the day and night. I would not recommend this campground to anyone, let alone campers with small children, as they would not be safe. It's really unfortunate that this campground is not properly maintained, as it could be quite beautiful and it is in a superb location. Needless to say, my family and I will not be staying at Shakopee RV park again. - MNCampingFamily

Everything was subpar. Starting with being quoted three different rates for camping by an employee, to being told conflicting information as to sites available. Our second day we had to move to a new site due to our campsite being used as a bike ramp and social drinking area. We were told we would have electric, but there was no access from the tent areas. Loose dogs were in and out of our campsite: leaving waste in our site the owner did not attend to. The park seemed to think the only issue was noise of dogs but we had issues with the shower house water temperatures being too hot or lukewarm, the pool was not being heated, the bathroom and shower house doors did not always shut or lock due to rust. We were so dissatisfied we chose another campground to go to. The owner was unpleasant and tried to change our nightly rate to say "we owed him" when his sign on the wall said "two persons/1 tent= $300/month." We stayed a month, were okay with paying for the month but wanted the $300 back for the month we weren't staying. He tried to tell us that you couldn't take apart the payment to get a refund at all for canceling. Then at the mention of a lawyer and the Better Business Bureau, he handed me two hundred and said, "There, a good compromise, look forward to having you back next year." Seriously? There are many other campgrounds in the area. I have found many nicer and more professionally run choices. I will not be staying here again. - gypsysojourner

When we arrived, the entry area was so full of vehicles, you couldn't pull an RV in there. So we parked the RV at the nearby restaurant. After running the gauntlet of smokers outside the office door, we were told our site wasn't available, but they would give us a different site (with sewer) at no extra charge. A "really nice" site. Not very welcoming or friendly. The road to the site was horribly pot-holed. The roads are very narrow, and one parked RV had his awning out into the road. The site was extremely unlevel and muddy. When we got to the site, we saw why our original one wasn't available; 75% of the sites are flooded! It's on the Minnesota river, and it was apparent that most of the sites had been flooded at one point. There was very little gravel to park on and very little "grass" to walk on. Parking the towed vehicle was a challenge. While we were here it rained even more, and the water got to within 10 or 15 feet of our rig. This reservation was made in April, and no attempt was made to contact us to let us know the situation at the campground, nor was anything said at the time of checkin. Overall, what sites were available were very narrow, very run down looking, very damp due to the heavy tree cover. We would not stay here again. There are other options within the Minneapolis/St Paul area. - cobragt23

It's surprising that this campground has not been previously reviewed. It's a backpack-in campground with 2 Yurts and four, electric with heat camper cabins. The hiking along the St. Croix River was so beautiful in the fall. People at the beach were in swimsuits and dipped their toes in the river. Temperatures in 80's in late September brought out crowds for day hikes and picnics. The prairie grass and leaves were very colorful. We couldn't believe how much noise that dry, falling leaves sound when they hit the ground. There are plenty of hiking and biking opportunities at this campground. Flush toilets are available in the visitor center or vault toilets throughout the campground. Note that there are no showers or ice available for purchase. The closest city is Afton, however the address lists Hastings on the website. We stayed in a camping cabin and will return. - brendajoro

Extremely large and neat sites all pull through in the modern campground area. Electric and Water only but very clean dump station, Site Z is on the corner looking into woods and field and we regularly saw deer walking through. There is a beach and boat access, along with conference centers, a playground, volley ball court, tennis court, and many other common areas. NO PETS are allowed in the campground (although we saw them in the boat dock area). It was largely empty the entire time we were there and the fellow campers were quiet and polite. My largest complaint was the office staff and campground hosts. They were not very friendly to "out-of towners" and complete sticklers for the rules. That being said, aesthetically it was a beautiful park, one of the nicest we have stayed in. There is no wifi, but my ATT coverage was good. The price is $25 a day and what is not very clear on their website is there is an additional per car $5 day access pass you have to pay for on arrival. (Reservations for the campground are done online.) The annual pass is $25 which you can purchase if your stay is 5 days or longer. They are also inflexible with their cancellation policy. We left a day early and even though we told them that at the beginning of our one week stay they were unwilling to refund us that day. You can stay in the park for one week but then need to move to another spot if you are going to stay longer. - Lee and Trace

This county park and campground is a scenic and serene oasis along the Mississippi River. A new shower/bath house opened this year in the campground; it is nicely designed and very clean. Many of the sites offer shade most of the day from stately and well established trees. From the park's beach area you can enjoy wading in the river or sit on-shore and watch the fishing and pleasure boats pass by. The park is located close to towns of Prescott, WI and Hastings, MN, both of which offer interesting histories, fun shopping and restaurants. - MNDoodles

We found this place on our GPS and needed a place to stop for one night. The office is an old travel trailer outside, what was, the camp office. We found out that the owners couldn't get permits renewed for some unknown reason so the office and associated amenities was mothballed. It looks like this park was really nice at one time but not now. It is really run down with mostly permanent residents. Our site was right in front with 30 amp and no sewer. It was OK to plug in for the night but not much else. It looks like the 30 amp was protected by fuses, not breakers in the pedestal. We didn't look around much and if this park has restrooms and showers, they were probably disgusting. If you are looking for a safe place to hook for one night and plan to stay in your rig, this would be an OK park, otherwise for the price, there are better places to stay. We were told there was a dump station but we didn't need it. Our site was right in front of the office and the free WiFi was decent with one bar. - sprinter55

Old, poorly maintained park. Roads are dirt as are the spaces. Many longterm residents and many motorcycles and 4 wheelers. Some grass but thin. Too much bird crap everywhere to enjoy being outside. Peafowl and guineas everywhere and they are really noisy especially when about 10 of them gather under you rig and start their screeching at 6 am. WiFi is non-existent. Manager said it was working in her mother-in-law's house but I stood under the antenna and had zero signal. This was true for the 2 days we were in the park. - PDDeen

We came in for a week without reservation and found a very nice wooded site. Driving around the campground saw many sites that in my opinion were very large. (Michigan take note!) Minnesota is going to an all site reservation system beginning 1/1/2015 eliminating walk in sites making weekend camping plans without reservation almost impossible at popular parks. Nice bike trails and paths. The Riverway part of campground very close to river with nice path next to it. Nice staff. Would definitely return. - smitty12

Having stayed at this campground several years back, we had mixed feelings this time. We stayed in the Savanna campground over Memorial Weekend, where the sites have nicer spacing and foliage in between. The sites seem to be very short and are electric only. We heard several complaints about not being able to let slides out and many campfires were right on the road. We pulled our vehicle horizontal to give the people across from us some privacy, as it was their family gathering spot. They have added more electric sites and really nice cabins since we last visited. The bathrooms are from the 70's, but had been remodeled and not thought out well. There were four small stalls and two showers for each of the men's and ladies facilities (for 70+ sites, times by 4 people per site). Two unisex bathroom/shower combos, but one shower was broken. All of the bathrooms were wet and dirty all the time, even if it wasn't raining. I had to roll up my pants, so they wouldn't get wet. Also, dump station only has one hole for both campgrounds. We left early, but people were already waiting in line. The good - close to the Twin Cities, the hiking was nice, the picnic area is huge and swimming was busy. There is an amphitheater and nice shelter just steps away. The campground offered an antique train ride into several Wisconsin towns, biking, canoeing and kayaking. This is a very nice park with plenty to do. It stays full all summer. It would be your fault if you were bored. WiFi too. We like other state parks better. We are not sure when we will go back. - brendajoro

Seriously the most fun we had ever had at a campground. We went on the Halloween weekend, and the kids had a blast trick-or-treating, looking at all the decorated sites, hiking and geocashing. We stayed in the Savannah campground and liked it very much. Quiet campground even with all the children here for the weekend. Need to drive between the two campgrounds, way too far to walk. Staff hosting the events were very friendly and helpful. My biggest issue was that the shower building was not heated. Very cold taking a shower at the end of October. - agnesattic

Amazingly, the bugs were not bad at all...because this is a heavily wooded campground. Satellite reception? Not likely. The Internet was good. Cellphone reception is also, very good. This campground is under new ownership, and needs allot of help. I would think that Minneapolis could support a great KOA. On the bad side: the dust was bad, the workers were not very friendly, the roads were in some cases overly narrow, and there are no planned activities. I was disappointed. We will not likely return. - sse

Under new ownership. The roads are too narrow for big rigs to get through and are 2-way. Right outside the front gate are 2 heavily used trucking companies which leaves everything outside your rigs covered in dust. Staff is unfriendly, sites are un-level and internet turns off every night around 8:15. Waiting for a spot to open at the nearby casino so we can leave. - Bthemockingjay

This is a safe place to stay for a couple nights. It's clearly from the 70's when everyone tent camped or had a small pop-up. Roads are CRAZY narrow and even experienced campers struggled. Sites are not narrow and everything looked original from the day it was built. We stayed because of the heated indoor pool, which was barely kept over freezing. Sites are uneven and staff simply pointed where to go, with little regard for customer service. - CamperGuy14

This campground is about 30 minutes south of Minneapolis. It's pure fairgrounds camping: a big, mostly level grassy area with no trees to speak of and just the basics for a RV. There are no sewer hookups but there's water and 50 amp electric and a nearby dump station. The camping area is set up for clusters of four RVs to set up around four hookup power/water pedestals. That's not immediately apparent upon arrival, though, because there are a few exceptions to that setup (along the roads) and also, some folks park a distance away from their hookup point and stretch cords to their hookups, giving them some elbow room from their neighbors. There's a range of people in the campground - guys working in the area, retired people, and families all taking advantage of probably the lowest camping rates in the Twin Cities area. The fairgrounds has lots of good gravel roads, so there's plenty of places for a nice walk. There are restrooms (although the one right at the campground was undergoing repairs during our stay). I saw a single shower in the restroom, though, and it didn't look very inviting - the toilets, though, were acceptably clean. We had full scale Verizon 4G and, with no trees to speak of, no problem getting a satellite signal. The county fair takes place in August, during that time all campers have to be out, as the area is used for vendors and parking. - nazpaz

Good choice. Wanting to stay at the completely-full Lebanon Hills State Park, we opted to stay at quiet Dakota County Fairgrounds. "Park anywhere" said the friendly helpful campground hosts, leaving lots of room between the dozen trailers and motorhomes parked with us on this wide open field. Mature trees are growing only along the outer edges of the campground. All the campground and grass sites are level, except for a few ruts in the grass where heavy motorhomes had dug dirt during the previous week's heavy rain. Also on the fairgrounds are the old buildings moved here to make the Dakota County Historical Village. There are no showers in the clean bathrooms. Children would be welcome, but there is no children's play area. No resort amenities, but it is quiet except for the occasional train's whistle. $20 per night includes electricity, either 30 amp or 50 amp. The monthly rate is only $350, except during much of July when hundreds of trailers and people attend the crowded fair. We enjoyed our time here, and in Minneapolis, and St. Paul. We will return. - AluminumCloud

Rangers and staff at the contact station are very friendly and helpful. There are three campgrounds in the park 100 loop, 200 loop and 300 loop. The 300 loop is heavily wooded and the oldest of the three loops. 100 and 200 loops are much more open and are big rig friendly. Roads are paved and sites are gravel. Water fill is at the dump station outside the 300 loop. Easy in and out of the dump station. Our site was a pull thru with electricity in the 200 loop. Site was quite level and was long. The showers are in the 100 and 300 loops. They are clean and the water was hot. Saw the rangers quite often out on patrol of the campgrounds. We would definitely stay here again. - Blu1e

We made reservations a month in advance. Upon entry, we were required to purchase out of state pass for motorhome at either $10 a night or $35 for a yearly pass in addition to nightly fee. There are three camping sections with some electric sites in each section with the only water and dump station at campground 300 which is 1 mile down hill from campgrounds 100 and 200. Interior roads are paved with sites level and graveled. Section 300 is the older, heavily treed campground that is not big rig friendly. 100 and 200 are big rig manuverable with little shade. Park rangers are very visible in all sections. - RJourney

Wisconsin State Park. There are three separate campgrounds. The older one is down the hill, and most sites in that campground are not large rig friendly. The two new campgrounds are on top of a bluff near a busy county road, but the sites are large and quiet. Some have some shade, but most are open. Park has a nice little lake, a stream with trout, a nature center, lots of trails and a spectacular waterfall. Park is about 20 miles from the Twin Cities. - William Custer

Big rig access is doable but it's tight. The road into the park is very rough with many low over hanging trees. There are only a few pull thru sites that can handle a rig over 40'. This park caters more to the weekenders from the city that come to camp in small rigs or tents and enjoy the river. The operators were very accommodating. There were some very low trees blocking our exit path that I brought to the maintenance crews attention. They were trimmed the next day. That also shows that this park does not receive a lot of big rig traffic. For us it was close enough to the city and our relatives for our visit. The few inconveniences are bearable and we would stay here again. - DoggieDaddy

This campground is a short drive from the Twin Cities. It has very large, grassy sites and lots of open spaces. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. They have organized activities such as Halloween Trick-or-treating in June, and karaoke at night. There is a volleyball court, basketball court, horseshoe pits and a playground. The pool is clean and the water is warm. The restroom and showers are updated and clean. There is a modern port-a-potty with flush toilets and a sink centrally located in the campground. When the river isn't too high they offer tubing and kayaking. The only sites on the river are tent sites and they are down a hill and tucked away. You cannot see the river from the rest of the campground. We would definitely stay here again. - Juniper94

We stayed a week here and really enjoyed ourselves. Our site was near the play area and close to the store. The pool was really nice and clean. We walked along the river tent sites, but the mosquitoes were unbearable! Tubing on the river was pretty mellow, but a bit long for our young kids. Location was nice for day trips to the cities. - Mncamper

They could police the use of the 50 amp sites. When we arrived all were filled - one with a pickup camper hooked to 20A even though a sign on the power post says reserved for 30 and 50 amp. Half of the 30 amp sites are not usable unless you bring a 30 amp extension cord as the post is between two widely spaced locations. Convenient dump location. Bathrooms quite a long way from the sites. I do not know if they have showers. - easydoesit

This is a great little city RV park, located on the side of an immaculately kept city park on the edge of River Falls. Only 15 sites, but all paved and nicely angled back-ins. No water or sewer, but all have 30 amp electric, and sites 7,8, and 9 have 50 amp. Restrooms and shower are available on the edge of the park as part of the city park. Lots of activities to do in the city park, i.e. disc golf course, large playground, skateboard park, ball fields, soccer fields, walking/running paths. RV park is open all year on a first come-first serve basis. Max 2 week stay. Honor box pay system. Park is located just off Hwy 65 on Division Street, but traffic noise is minimal. A real gem of a city park. - dennmattgano

Wonderfully quiet. Very accommodating staff. Great place for individual camping as well as small to large groups including family reunions, business retreats, specialty camps, crafting organizations, etc. Close to outdoor recreation area & golf courses. Nice walking paths, recreation fields, small lake with water slide, full sized gymnasium, meeting rooms of all sizes. Generously sized grass RV sites with shade &/or sun. Dorm/hotel type facility stays require bringing your own bedding. Numerous restroom areas are kept clean and well supplied. Off the freeway system, but a peaceful drive through the country gets you privacy and solitude. We camp here quite often. - church choir

This is our third full summer at this park and we plan to come back every summer from now on. We like that there are tar roads throughout the park and the electricity cost is included in your rent. If you want wood for a campfire, the owner delivers a bundle to your site for $5.00. It's nice to be able to just set your daily garbage out by the street and the caretaker comes by a couple times a day and picks it up for you. He also keeps the park looking nice with plants and flowers. There is a cute little dog park to let your dog off leash occasionally. It's pretty quiet during the week, but it's fun to see all the campers come in on Fridays for the weekend. All the campsites are together on the river side of the park, so if you don't like camping in a mobile-home park, it won't be an issue. The owner, caretaker, and lots of the people who camp here are very friendly and respectful. There is a dump station too. - FUZZKABBOB

This park is right along the Mississippi River and is a quiet, sleepy park. There is a playground for children in the center of the park. Although there is no cable, we were able to get many channels on our antenna. In many of the spaces, there are too many trees to receive a satellite signal. On the other hand, the trees provide a nice, shady park. We have stayed here several times while visiting family in the area and will be happy to stay here again. The grounds of the park are kept neat and tidy, making this a pleasant place to stay. Our rate reflects the park policy of a free night if you pay for six nights. - themom3

You are a bit close to other campers and if they are the barking dog or screaming kids people it will be like they are in your campsite. They do not allow mats, which we found out when we received the 'warning' from the office folks. I can understand, they have very nice grass at the sites. Pads are gravel and level. One thing we noticed is that there is no where walk. There is no sidewalk or path to walk on. You walk on the road which is very narrow. Not a huge deal but noticeable. If you want to sit around the fire ring you are literally right next to your neighbor. Not much privacy. The town of Cannon Falls is very close and a fun place to spend a little time in. Overall nice and a decent place to stay. - LP2013

This was an amazing, and fun experience. "Interstate" refers to the fact half of the park is on the Minnesota side of the St Croix river and half on the Wisconsin side. We camped on the Minnesota side. Here there are mostly electric sites (sites directly abutting the river are non-electric). Site 20 has a lovely view, but you are terribly close to Site 19. 21 has the best view but is tent-only and non-electric. Most of the sites were not level. Our site sloped a bit but I have blocks to raise front wheels and that helped. Bath house is very well maintained. There are a Ton of people here on weekends because of the marvelous hiking trails. During midweek, we had this whole park almost to ourselves. It was lovely. There are boat rides and canoe rentals nearby. Hike 1.25 mi North to the visitor center and tour the most amazing potholes! 10,000 years ago the St Croix River was one of the largest rivers in the world. At over 200' deep it carved out the river bed from igneous rock and, in doing so, created huge circular holes in the bedrock. You must see it to believe it! We drove over to the Wisconsin side of the park. They have a Northern and a Southern camping area neither of which exceeded what we had on the Minnesota side. Their entire South campground was non-electric (some lovely sites). The North campground was partial electric. Some of the best sites were right next to the bath house. Rate of $33 = $23 for camping + $5 electricity + $5 for park use permit. Good Verizon signal in the campground (and throughout the park) for both Internet data (4G) and cellular. Lots of hungry raccoons so keep your campsite clean of edibles! I'd come here again. Next time, allow more time for hiking the trail, take a boat ride on the river, and relax. - AndersonFamily

We stayed on the Wisconsin side, north campground, in spot #33. The site was fine, but a lot of traffic in front of the site as we were close to the bath house. Great hiking trails and very friendly staff. Wisconsin side offers trail to Taylors Falls, which is great for a stop at the ice cream shops. Another trail further north provided access to downtown St. Croix Falls and the Dairy Queen. As the weekend was warm, these trails were most appreciated. - Glory Bee

This is a beautiful, small State Park about an hour from the Twin Cities. The Pothole area is a must see and well worth the hike to the visitor center just over a mile from the campground (or a short drive). We only hiked along the river, which has stunning views of the rock formation and cliffs. Also, there is a paved railroad track trail across the highway. Rock climbers would have unlimited possibilities, but this requires a permit. It was surprising that there is quite a bit sandy shoreline to walk along too. There are canoeing and kayaking opportunities through outfitter services that are located on both sides of the St. Croix River. Search for "outfitters" within the website. There is a supermarket and a Super Center about 2 miles across the river in St. Croix Falls, WI. The downsides are that this campground is on Hwy. 8, so semi-truck noise can be loud and the electric sites seem close together. We camped during the week at site 20 and had a wonderful view of the river. As previously mentioned, some sites are not level and short. - brendajoro

We stayed last summer while our house was being worked on for a month. For our purpose it worked out, but if we were doing a normal RV trip would only stay a day or two. The surrounding area has a lot to offer and see. On highway 8 from Lindstrom to Taylor Falls is great. The campground is a field with no shade and the sites are close. The older part of the park needs some work. - Traveler II

I was expecting more for the price. The sites are close together and have baby trees so not much shade in the newer section. We camped here with a group and they royally messed up one parties reservations so they were very far removed from the group and couldn't figure out how to fix it. It was very disappointing and sort of soured our weekend. The playground and pool are fairly far away and very old and rundown. I was told the bathrooms were decent but I didn't personally use them because we had a full hook up site. The old guy on the golf cart playing campground cop was rude and accused us of stealing a picnic table from another site, which he later found at someone else's site. They did do Halloween in Aug/Sept so the kids liked that - but it was across the campground by the seasonals so we had to drive over there with the little ones. - LoveShack

This was a nice enough place. More than likely if you are staying here you don't intend to stay at the campground all day as there is so much to do in Taylors Falls. The sites were alright. There are many of them packed closely together like sardines. For campers there is not much shade in the pull-thru's. The pool is too small for this large of a campground. Plus the pool and campground are far away from all of the sites. The mini golf course is a joke. We planned on playing that while we stayed but decided it would be worth a couple bucks and go play at the nice place in town. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in Taylors Falls planning to do stuff during the day. If you're a family planning on staying there, then you may be disappointed. - smores

This is a very attractive large park with paved roads, green grass and many trees. It is well maintained with a nicely heated swimming pool (which was packed most of the time), and camp store with yummy ice cream cone service. They have a large hall that is used occasionally for dances, etc. They have two bathrooms that are clean but showers are the pay type. There are also some satellite type toilets around the park. Campsites are laid out along several looping roads and generally offer shade but no bushes, etc., to offer any privacy. There is adequate room between units for slide outs and awnings. Units can be placed anywhere on grass lot. Lots are generally fairly level. The office was regularly staffed. They were pretty much all business. Verizon 3G cell coverage was good. Site was back in but could have been pull through if campground wasn't full. Campground is located in a quiet rural setting away from highways, etc., so is generally quiet. Again sites are fairly close together so noise from next door can be an issue. Unfortunately, we were here when it was very hot, placing extra demands on the parks electrical system. We had two lengthy power outages one day. The 3 park power transformers were operating at max and one of them failed. I noted another had water running constantly on it to keep it cool. We would definitely stay here again but hopefully when it is cooler and the power demands are reduced. - StillBill

This park has a lot to offer - a swimming pool, volleyball, horseshoes, and a large field for a game of baseball or football. The problem is the owners are so rude and grumpy they will probably yell at you for trying to have a good time. My early teenager was yelled at for using the Rainbow climber but nowhere was there a sign stating a maximum age or weight limit. Some kids were having fun riding their bikes over a mound of dirt. The owner barricaded it. Some campers a couple lots down were putting up a tent. The owner watched them putting it up then when they were finished yelled at them that tents weren't allowed. The bathrooms aren't that great and the showers are pay. The roads are paved but very narrow and are not one way. Our campsite had a nice crushed rock pad but was badly off level both front to back and side to side. I will not be staying here again unless it is under new ownership. - backin15

Many campers were workers for the nuclear plant. Very clean campground, had to unhook trailer and place near tent sites across from our site. Not a good place for large dogs, because of the lack of a dog run. There was a very small dog walk. - Estelle

The campground is in a very scenic setting, right on a lake with lots of trees. You can hear the calls of the loons in the early morning. There are no water or sewer hookups, obviously no WiFi or cable TV, and only 30 amp electric, so it's really suited more for primitive camping. They start taking reservations on a specific day in April and it's standing room only from early in the morning. Most of the popular dates book up very quickly. We were visiting family in nearby Maple Lake, so this campground was very convenient. There is nothing else any closer than St. Cloud. We would stay there again if back in the area. - melissab7

This is a campground filled with lots of seasonal trailers. This place is huge! We were there for just a one night stay over. Everything is old but fairly well kept. The better lots are across the highway away from the office. We stayed in a full hookup back in site. We needed our extension cord to reach the electrical box, as all the hookups are at the front of most sites. Pool was warm, clean and well cared for. Private seasonal campgrounds are not for us, but some must like them. - tslarson

This campground had a nice, modern playground for the children. The pool was also nice and very refreshing on a very hot day. Overall we did not like this campground. It was mostly set up for seasonal sites and not weekenders. There were many modular homes throughout the park so you felt like you were staying in a trailer park. Also all the seasonal people had golf carts and would not watch out for people walking through the park. The site we were give was down a large hill with lots of trees. It was very difficult to back our pop-up into I could not imagine trying to get anything else in there. Our campsite was also divided by a creek and our picnic table and fire ring was in the middle of a woods with TONS of mosquitoes. We were also placed about 3 blocks from any sort of bathrooms which is not considerate given they were told we had a pop-up (which usually do not have bathrooms in). The lake was very dirty and the beach area was surrounded by boat docks so you could not even see the lake besides the little area they had blocked off. The mini golf course was not taken care of and not usable. I would not stay here again. - Jen.a.wag

This is a beautiful, grassy county park on Shields Lake. There are two docks for fishing and a place to launch your boat nearby. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. There are no sewer hookups, but there is a convenient dump. The bathrooms and showers are very clean. They have the best WiFi. Thesignal never failed and we were on the far end of the park. Several antenna TV stations come in well. Less than an hour to the Twin Cities so great place to stay while visiting family and friends. - Jan and Larry

Rv park connected with casino.. A little different configuration with blacktop and gravel. Only friendly person I have found do on this entire reservation was the gentleman that checked us in. Bring lots of cash, the slots are tight. - Butcherboy13

This was our worst campground and camping experience. Very few shaded lots as per website photos. We were on a waterfront site, all rocks, poor site, unlevel, muddy and nasty with train across the river as well as a foundry with industrial noise and lights. There is a convenient restaurant/bar outside the gate, decent food at reasonable prices. However, unless you are truly part of the River Rat culture stay anywhere else! - Beth1

This is a hard campground to review. It has a unique location on a peninsula (maybe island) in the Mississippi, across from Red Wing Minnesota. But most spots (all the desirable spots) are taken by seasonal rentals. We were in a spot right on the river, but very close to the highway bridge over the river and connecting Minnesota and Wisconsin--noisy all night. The Marina was directly on front of us, but it seemed in bad sharp with very few boats. Red Wing is an active port with a lot of train traffic and noise from the grain elevators, etc. so not peaceful--but a stunning sunrise with a beautiful down river view pretty much compensated for the noise and the "rustic" condition of the overnight campsites. We would recommend Island Campground to those in the area looking for a different kind of one night stay. - Ftcollinscamper

3rd time I've stayed here. Mosquitoes are ferocious in June, but that's typical for Minnesota. Previous review is spot on. It's a convenient, clean, quiet, nice place to stay overnight. Watch the speed bumps! - Corno1

This is a Municipal Park located on Buffalo Creek on the south side of town. No Reservations. Motorhomes/Trailers pull into a sand and grass parking area. Sites are not marked, campers pull in and set up. Services are Basic. Dry camping with electricity. Sites are Electric only. One 50 amp service, four 30 amp receptacles. No fresh water fill. Dump station costs $4. Park has a challenging 18 hole Disc Golf Course, swimming pool with water slides, softball diamonds, baseball park, horseshoe pits, basketball courts, wild animal zoo, and bicycle paths. The only amenity that has a fee is the swimming pool. The bicycle path leads out of the park and continues for 6 miles to the town of Plato. This park has many other activities (music in the park, civic festivals, etc.). Park is quiet at night and is frequently patrolled by the local police. Some highway and train noise, but not enough to be objectionable. Lots of room for kids to run. I have stayed at this park the last 5 or 6 years, and have always had a pleasant experience. - J.

This was our first trip of the season. The campground is well laid out with adequate privacy. Public facilities were clean and well maintained. There were private shower rooms available. I manager to sever my trailer wiring harness during set up. The campground host was very helpful and spent over an hour actually doing the repair. No phone service or internet available. - Estse

Nerstrand State Park is one of the closest parks to the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul that offers camping facilities. The park is sited on roughly 1400 acres of land originally platted as 20 acre woodlots for the farmers who settled the surrounding area. The land is unremarkable except for a small waterfall on an unnavigable river. Recent park management has emphasized development of the trail system. The campground is unchanged since the 1970s except for the removal water supplies to individual campsites in accordance with current statewide park policy. Electric is 30a only. Sites are more closely spaced than most other state parks. The park is located away from major roads and provides a quiet, secluded environment with a trail system that crosses a variety of ecological niches, prairie and forest. Despite the lack of a focal point and the somewhat dated campground design and facilities, the park offers an enjoyable weekend getaway close to the cities. - Jammer

This is a State Park that has so much to offer. It has miles of hiking trails, a nice water fall that is just a short hike from the campground. It has a playground and geo caching. It is very quiet and wooded. We stayed in site 7 because we did not have reservations but it was a nice site and would stay there again. We will be back. If you are planning on a weekend in the summer make sure you have reservations or get there early enough to get a non reservable site. - PackerFanRick

The sites are very close, bathrooms are dark and musty smelling. The Wi-Fi was not available at our site. We had reservation for a certain site but they changed it without telling us. Our reservations were made in off-season. Another couple we met and they made reservation the same time we did and they did not have a site when they arrived. The management had over booked the sites; this is bad for business. We have decided we will not stay here again. - B HANSEN

We stayed here for a quick overnight stop on our way west. It was expensive for an overnight but it was easy to get in and out and our pull-through site was long enough that we did not need to unhook our 35' 5th wheel. We exited through an unoccupied site, but I can see where it could get really tight to maneuver when the campground is full. - 5erFamily
Aug 2013 - $36.00
This is a nice park overall. The staff was friendly and helpful. Although the sites are relatively close together, they were adequate for our 25' class C motorhome. It might be somewhat challenging for those of you who drive larger Class A units as the turns in the park are tight. This is a pet friendly park, but the challenge for us were the kids. They race around the park in three wheel bikes pedaling as fast as possible with no regard for people walking with or without their dogs. Possibly because we are here on a weekend, it has more kids than usual - but it would be helpful if the park had some rules as to their behavior. - 3dogsrv

We stayed for the weekend with two children and our dog. Although the campground and beach were clean and the sites were spacious, the managers were very rude to us and to our kids. No matter how many times we moved our vehicles, they were constantly around to make us get off the grass. We had one tire on the grass! We were told to put our dog on a leash, when their own dog was not on a leash, nor were two dogs on leashes of people I suspect to be seasonal campers. My daughter went to the camp store for ice cream, but was turned away although it was only a few minutes after the store closing. The door was still open. The manager was sitting at the cash register. Really? You couldn't take the 75 cents? Disappointing stay and a beautiful park. - nomadsark

By far the best campground in central Minnesota. Very friendly guest personel. Easy check in and check out. Sites are immaculate. Clean restrooms and showers. There is tons of shade and grass everywhere. There are walking trails in the woods. The lake is beautiful. The beach is large and clean. There is a huge playground, great for kids of all ages. We love this place and stay here several times a year! - babytygger

Extremely lovely small county park CG. Spotless bathrooms with showers set up as separate rooms with locking doors - Nice! Huge sites. A few pull-thrus, but most were back-ins. All nice and level. Some trees for the big rigs to watch out for, but nothing too bad. Water hookups were rather comical though. Not at each site, so everyone was running hoses with Y connectors off the spigots throughout the CG. Hoses snaking everywhere! Management seemed ok with it, very relaxed atmosphere. Just wood (delivered), ice and I think ice cream at the office. Grocery store 3 miles away in Cokato. Small picturesque lake to swim and fish in. Fills up fast in the summer! Great relaxing place! - Gala62

We decided not to stay here once we had a conversation with the lady at the front desk. We stopped in at about 8PM just looking for a place to park and sleep and be on our way by 8AM the next morning. The individual was very rude and really didn't want us to stay. It was if it was to much work and when she gave me the price for 7 people she had the nerve to say you might as well stay at a hotel because it will be cheaper. From the outside things looked nice but if that is how people in Minnesota treat people passing through, - Cudpal

We read many of the reviews the day that we left. Wasn't sure what to expect. Having stayed only one night we can say the negative reviews are more than accurate. The campground is filthy. The sites are nothing but sand. Mud for us since it rained the entire evening. I thought we could tolerate the sandy conditions, but even die hard like us could not stand it for more than one night. There is no game room as advertised. Also, the petting zoo is a long walk for most campers and is nothing special. A couple wandering goats, a llama and a donkey are what we saw. The beach was disgusting. There were cigarette butts and litter all over. The seasonal crowd wasn't the most welcoming. They complained loudly about "weekenders" coming in. There also was excessive swearing and drinking at the beach. After 45 minutes I decided it was not the best place for our young children to be. I even felt uncomfortable. At night, it was noisy with loud campers and dogs barking constantly. The first thing we did the next morning was pack up and leave. I do not suggest this campground, especially to those with young children. - smores

We were heading home from vacation when we decided to look for a campground for our last night on the road. We made a major mistake by picking A-J Acres. When we turned onto their dirt road we were immediately struck by the roads disrepair. For the mile it took us to drive back to the campground we were jolted and jarred by the wash-board condition of the dirt road. The speed sign of 30 mph must be meant for Baja racers as we could barely maintain 3 mph with all the bouncing our truck and coach were taking. In all my years of travels, this road was by far the worst I ever had to drive on to get to a campground. When we finally managed to get into the campground, and into the office, I asked about the rough and deplorable condition of their road. The guy behind the counter just shrugged his shoulders and said they can't get the township to run a grader over it to smooth it over. In my opinion if I owned this place I would buy my own drag and pull it up and down the road with my lawn tractor. Anything is better then nothing... I also asked about a full hook up site and was told they were all spoken for. Later when we took a walk in the park I observed many full hookup sites sitting empty. Another thing about this CG is that it's very old and in desperate need of upgrading and repair. When we were given the map of our campsite the guy just pointed up the hill and told me to just pick a site. He told us to look for site numbers on the trees and to pull in. Well to make a long story short there turned out to only be a couple small, faded number signs on a few trees so it was almost impossible to determine what site we were actually in. All in all, I suggest anyone who wants to camp in this area look elsewhere for a campground. This is one poor excuse for a campground in my opinion. - jackmroz

Safety and security
Civil unrest/Political tension
You should avoid demonstrations and large public gatherings as they can become violent.
Minor security incidents continue to occur in New Caledonia, often arising with little warning. Such incidents include road blockages, car-jackings, and throwing stones at cars. Australians should follow the instructions of local authorities. In the event of an incident, leave the area as such situations can deteriorate.
New Caledonia has a low incidence of serious crime. Petty crime does occur. You should be aware of your personal belongings at all times and not leave your bags or valuables unattended or unsecured. There is an increasing incidence of car theft and vehicle break-ins.
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. See our Terrorist Threat Worldwide bulletin.
Money and valuables
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
Partying: When going out to bars or clubs, you should plan your night out and remember simple safety precautions. See our Partying safely page for tips and advice.
Local travel

For information on driver's licence requirements in New Caledonia, contact your nearest French Embassy or Consulate or the New Caledonian Department of Infrastructure, Topography and Terrestrial Transport (in French).
Road blockages, car-jackings, and throwing stones at cars continue to occur in New Caledonia (see Safety and security). Australians should follow the instructions of local authorities. In the event of an incident, leave the area as quickly as possible.
New Caledonia's road toll is very high. Drivers may be unlicensed or intoxicated and vehicles may be neither roadworthy nor insured.
See our road travel page.
If you intend to hire a car, motorcycle, Jet Ski or any other motorised water sport equipment, talk to your travel insurer first to check if your planned activities will be covered.
The safety standards you might expect of transport and tour operators, including adventure activities such as diving, may not be of the same level as in Australia. Sufficient safety equipment may not be provided and recommended maintenance standards and safety precautions may not be observed. Always use available safety equipment, such as lifejackets or seatbelts, even if others don't. If appropriate safety equipment is not available, you should use another provider.
Taxis cannot be hailed from the street. You can only catch taxis at designated taxi ranks or by making a booking over the phone. Travellers often experience long delays when booking a taxi. Payment is by cash only, credit cards are not accepted.
Airline safety
The Australian Government does not provide information on the safety of individual commercial airlines or flight paths. See instead the Aviation Safety Network website for information on aviation safety in New Caledonia.
Please also refer to our general air travel page for information on aviation safety and security.
You are subject to the local laws of New Caledonia, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards. If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our Consular Services Charter. But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail. Research laws before travelling, especially for an extended stay.
New Caledonia is an overseas territory of France, and a mix of French and local laws apply. See our travel advice for France for more information.
Penalties for drug offences, even possession of small amounts, include fines and imprisonment. See our Drugs page.
France has passed laws allowing same-sex marriages, which also applies in New Caledonia. Same sex couples should be aware that other than the capital, Noumea, New Caledonia is a conservative society. See our LGBTI travellers page.
You are required to carry identification at all times.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Australian authorities are committed to combating sexual exploitation of children by Australians overseas. Australians may be prosecuted at home under Australian child sex tourism and child pornography laws. These laws provide severe penalties of up to 25 years' imprisonment for Australians who engage in child sexual exploitation while outside of Australia.
Local customs
When travelling outside of tourist areas, you should dress and behave modestly. Visits to certain areas require prior authorisation from the customary authorities through engaging in "coutume" (customary acknowledgement). Please read the brochure on customary acknowledgement in New Caledonia for further information.
Information for Dual Nationals
See our dual nationals page.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
Medical facilities
The standard of medical facilities in New Caledonia is good for treatment of uncomplicated conditions. Noumea's central hospital can handle routine and emergency matters but complicated conditions require evacuation to Australia.
There is only one hyperbaric (decompression) chamber in New Caledonia, located in Noumea. Many of the popular dive sites are located on other islands and it may take several hours to reach facilities in the event of an accident. Many dive companies require participants to have insurance cover for diving. You should ensure that your insurance covers whatever activity you intend to undertake.
Search and rescue facilities are limited. The difficult terrain severely limits rapid access and there is no mobile phone coverage in some parts of the main island.
Medical costs in New Caledonia are high. For example, an intensive care bed in Noumea could cost up to A$4,000 per day. Ambulance transfers, even for short distances, can cost in excess of A$1,250. A helicopter evacuation to Noumea will cost in excess of A$6,500. An aeromedical evacuation from Noumea to Australia can exceed A$40,000. When travelling in New Caledonia, you are not covered by Medicare.
Information for cruise passengers
In recent years, a substantial number of Australians have been evacuated from cruise ships to Noumea for hospitalisation. We are aware of a number of cases where the insurance claims made by cruise passengers have been refused, particularly for travellers with pre-existing medical conditions.
Cruise passengers are strongly encouraged to take out travel insurance appropriate to their circumstances. Read the product disclosure statement to ensure that you understand what your policy covers. See our travel insurance page for more information about obtaining appropriate insurance cover.
Health risks
Small outbreaks of leptospirosis are common with more serious outbreaks occurring from time to time, particularly during March to May. Local authorities recommend wearing closed-in shoes when walking, avoiding swimming in rivers, not playing in muddy water, storing food in enclosed containers, not drinking straight from cans (using a straw is recommended) and removing rubbish from around homes. For information on leptospirosis, see the World Health Organization website.
Town tap water is safe to drink. We recommend that in rural areas you boil all drinking water or drink only bottled water.
Epidemics of dengue fever, zika virus, and chikungunya occur in New Caledonia, particularly during the warmer wet months of February to May. It is strongly recommended you take precautions against being bitten by mosquitoes, including using an insect repellent, wearing loose fitting, light coloured clothing and ensuring your accommodation is mosquito proof. Seek medical advice if you have a fever, muscle pain, rash or severe headache. Local authorities have dengue fever, zika virus and chikungunya prevention measures in place.
In March 2016, New Caledonian authorities confirmed that the mosquito-borne Zika virus has been transmitted within New Caledonia. The infection often occurs without symptoms but in some cases can cause fever, rash, severe headache, joint pain, and muscle or bone pain. There are no vaccines. All travellers are urged to protect themselves by taking measures to prevent mosquito bites. Given possible transmission of the disease to unborn babies, and taking a very cautious approach, pregnant women (or women trying to become pregnant) should consider postponing travel to New Caledonia or talk to their doctor about implications. See our travel bulletin on Zika virus.
For further information see the World Health Organization's factsheets on dengue fever and chikungunya fever. For updates on the situation in New Caledonia please refer to the website of the New Caledonian Directorate for Health and Social Affairs (in French).
Where to get help
Depending on your enquiry, your best option may be to first contact your family, friends, airline, travel agent, tour operator, employer or travel insurer. Your travel insurer should have a 24 hour emergency number.
If the matter relates to criminal issues, contact the local police at the nearest police station, or dial 17 for the police emergency number. Dial 15 for an ambulance.

Additional information
Natural disasters, severe weather and climate
If a natural disaster occurs, follow the advice of local authorities. The New Caledonian Department of Emergency Management has procedures in place for natural disaster and severe weather, such as strong winds and swells, heavy rains, thunderstorms, cyclones, bushfires and tsunamis. We recommend that you monitor the weather notifications and alerts in New Caledonia for advice and up-to-date information. In the event of an emergency, a crisis management centre with a free-call hotline +687 050505 will be activated.
If you are travelling during cyclone season, or after a natural disaster, you should contact your tour operator to check whether tourist services at your planned destination have been affected.
Cyclones and severe weather
Cyclone season in New Caledonia is from November to April, when flooding, landslides and disruptions to services may occur; however, tropical storms and cyclones may also occur in other months. The direction and strength of tropical cyclones can change with little warning.
In the event of an approaching cyclone, you should identify your local shelter, follow the instructions of local authorities and monitor media and weather reports for the latest developments.
Detailed weather information is published by Meteo-France in New Caledonia. The Fiji Meteorological Service, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, US Navy also provide regional weather information. We recommend that Australians in New Caledonia monitor these websites during cyclone season for the most up-to-date information.
When a cyclone, or potential cyclone, enters the New Caledonia region, New Caledonian Department of Emergency Management and the Meteo-France in New Caledonia provide alert bulletins (in French) on their websites and through regular weather bulletins on local radio.
New Caledonia has a four-phase cyclone alert system:
• PRE-ALERT: potential cyclone activity in the weather observation zone of New Caledonia – follow weather forecasts and bulletins;
• ALERT 1: a cyclone is approaching and may reach New Caledonia within the next 18 hours – prepare for a cyclone;
• ALERT 2: a cyclone will hit New Caledonia in less than six hours – protect yourself and stay indoors; and
• SAFEGUARD PHASE: a cyclone is moving away – remain vigilant.
Further details on the alert system and recommended activities during each level can be found on the New Caledonian Department of Emergency Management website.
In the event of an approaching cyclone, flights in and out of affected areas could be delayed or suspended. Available flights may fill quickly. The cyclone could also affect access to sea ports in the region. In some areas, adequate shelter from a severe cyclone may not be available to all who may choose to stay. You should familiarise yourself with your hotel or cruise ship evacuation plans. Carry your travel documents at all times (i.e. passport, photo identification) or secure them in a safe, waterproof location. We also suggest that you contact friends and family in Australia to reassure them of your welfare and whereabouts. Once the cyclone has passed, and SAFEGUARD PHASE has been announced, you should take care leaving your shelter, looking out for debris, and avoid electrical wires which may have fallen on the ground. For further information, see our severe weather page.
Flooding and Mudslides
Heavy rains may cause dangerous flooding and mudslides to occur, and result in loss of life, destruction of property and the evacuation of inhabitants. If you are in an affected area, you should monitor media reports and follow the advice of local authorities. Detailed weather information is published in New Caledonia by Meteo-France in New Caledonia (in French).
New Caledonia is in an active earthquake zone. Further information on earthquakes and other natural disasters can be obtained from the Global Disaster Alert and Co-ordination system.
All oceanic regions of the world can experience tsunamis, but in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, there is a more frequent occurrence of large, destructive tsunamis because of the many large earthquakes along major tectonic plate boundaries and ocean trenches. Tsunamis could occur in New Caledonia. There is a higher risk of the east coast, Loyalty Islands and Isle of Pines being affected. Visitors should be alert for warnings. For more information on tsunamis see the Tsunami Awareness brochure.
To receive immediate tsunami alerts, Australian citizens should register with an alert provider. Further information can be found on the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre, and the Global Disaster Alert and Co-ordination system website.
New Caledonia can be affected by bushfires. Typically these occur during the warmest months, from September to February. However, they may also occur in other months. Visitors should be alert for warnings and follow the advice of local authorities. Bushfire notifications are available from 15 September to 15 February each year.
