RV Dump Stations In Cumberland, Wisconsin
45.5322° N, 92.0194° W
Quick Overview
Cumberland is the Island City, a small northwest Wisconsin town sitting on a peninsula nearly surrounded by Beaver Dam Lake. For RVers it is a genuinely handy tank stop because the city itself runs Eagle Point Campground, a municipal park right on the water with a dump station and full hookups. Of the several dump stations we track around Cumberland, all are paid (a portion paid, a portion free), so plan to dump as a camper or pay a small non-camper fee where offered.
The standout is Eagle Point Campground, an 11-acre peninsula park with 32 sites, concrete pads, water, sewer, and 20/30/50 amp electric, plus its own dump station. Because it is city-owned and rated near the top by campers, we treat it as the default place to empty black and gray tanks and top off fresh water in town. Country Quiet Campground, a smaller private park south of town, also has a dump station and runs a May-to-October season. For state-run facilities and the official rules, the Wisconsin DNR maintains dump stations at nearby state parks, free for registered campers and around $10 per use for non-registered visitors.
Timing matters up here. Northwest Wisconsin winters are hard, with single-digit lows and roughly 46 inches of seasonal snow, and park water systems shut off from about October 1 through mid-May. That means dumping and fresh-water fills are a warm-season affair. The sweet spot is late June through late August, when temps are comfortable and every campground is open. Roll in on US-63 or WI-48, handle your tanks at Eagle Point, and enjoy the lake, the walkable Main Street, and, if your timing lines up, the long-running Rutabaga Festival the weekend before Labor Day.

Cumberland sits at the junction of US-63 and Wisconsin Highway 48 in Barron County. US-63 is the main north-south route and connects south through Rice Lake to I-94 about 60 miles away; I-35 is roughly 80 miles west. WisDOT has been reworking some US-63 access points for safety, so check 511wi.gov for construction before you roll through with a big rig. We did not find posted low-bridge or weight restrictions on the main routes.
For dumping, aim for Eagle Point Campground right in town or Country Quiet Campground to the south, both with dump stations. State-run alternatives and the official fee structure are on the Wisconsin DNR site. Fuel and groceries are along US-63 in town, with a Walmart Supercenter in Rice Lake about 15 miles south for a bigger resupply before you head deeper into the north woods.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Cumberland, Wisconsin, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.
Check your RV insurance coverage
A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.
Know your roadside assistance options
RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.
Decide about an extended warranty early
Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.
Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees
A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Cumberland
Dumping around Cumberland is paid, but the rates are reasonable. Eagle Point Campground runs roughly $40 to $45 a night for a full-hookup site on the lake, which includes sewer at your pad plus access to the dump station, water, and 20/30/50 amp power. Country Quiet Campground is a bit cheaper at about $30 to $40 a night for electric and water sites with a dump station.
If you would rather not book a night, Wisconsin state parks charge registered campers nothing to use their dump stations, while non-registered visitors pay around $10 per use, per the DNR fee schedule. That $10 drop-in is often the cheapest way to empty tanks if you are just passing through and do not need a full-hookup site for the night.

Best Time to Visit Cumberland by RV
Winter
Nov - Feb
8F - 24F
Crowds: Low
Freezing and snowy with roughly 46 inches of seasonal snow. Campgrounds are closed and water systems are shut off, so plan on no on-site dumping or fresh water from October into mid-May.
Spring
Mar - May
33F - 53F
Crowds: Low
Gradual warming with snow possible into March. Parks open in early May, and water systems come back mid-May, so early-spring trips mean dry camping until things thaw.
Summer
Jun - Aug
57F - 76F
Crowds: High
Comfortable and the peak season. Every campground is open with full services. Late June through August is busiest, especially Rutabaga Festival weekend, so reserve full-hookup sites ahead.
Fall
Sep - Oct
36F - 53F
Crowds: Medium
Comfortable early fall with good north-woods leaf color. Campgrounds close around October 1 and water shuts off, so confirm services before a late-season dump stop.
Explore the Cumberland Area
A few things we would pass along to a friend heading to Cumberland. First, Eagle Point Campground is the premier RV stop here: city-owned, right on Beaver Dam Lake, full hookups including sewer, plus a dump station, and it books up fast around the Rutabaga Festival in late August, so reserve early through Campspot. Second, if you are stocking up, Rice Lake about 15 miles south on US-63 has a Walmart Supercenter and the fuller range of services.
Third, remember the season. Park water systems shut off around October 1 and do not come back until mid-May, so a fall or spring trip means dry camping and no on-site dumping at most parks. Fourth, firewood from outside Barron County is prohibited at Eagle Point, so buy it locally and keep your receipt. The town is compact and walkable, so once you are parked at Eagle Point you can stroll Main Street, try a classic Wisconsin supper club, and reach the lake beach on foot.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Stations in Cumberland
Where can I dump my RV tanks in Cumberland, WI?
The main spot is Eagle Point Campground, the city-owned park on the Beaver Dam Lake peninsula, which has its own dump station along with full-hookup sites that include sewer at the pad. Country Quiet Campground south of town also has a dump station during its May-to-October season. For a state-run option, Wisconsin DNR maintains dump stations at nearby state parks. All of the dump stations we track around Cumberland are paid, so you will either dump as a registered camper or pay a modest non-camper fee where it is offered.
Is there a free dump station in Cumberland?
Not that we can verify. Our data shows every dump station in the Cumberland area is paid, with zero free options. That is typical for this part of Wisconsin, where sanitary facilities are attached to campgrounds and state parks that either bundle the cost into a nightly rate or charge a small drop-in fee. The closest thing to cheap dumping is the Wisconsin state park non-camper rate of around $10 per use. If you are staying a night anyway, booking a full-hookup site at Eagle Point folds the dump into your camping fee, which is the better value.
Can I fill fresh water in Cumberland?
Yes, during the warm season. Eagle Point Campground and Country Quiet Campground both offer potable water at their sites, and Eagle Point full-hookup pads make topping off easy. The catch is timing: park water systems across northwest Wisconsin shut off around October 1 and do not turn back on until mid-May to prevent freeze damage. So from late spring through early fall you will have no trouble filling fresh water, but a late-fall, winter, or early-spring trip means you should arrive with full tanks and plan to dry camp until the systems come back online.
Are the Cumberland campgrounds open year-round?
No. This is hard-winter country, with single-digit lows and roughly 46 inches of snow a season, so the campgrounds run a warm-season schedule. Country Quiet Campground lists a season of about May 5 through October 1, and Eagle Point water and full services follow a similar window, with systems shut off from around October 1 through mid-May. That means both on-site dumping and fresh-water fills are really a late-spring-through-early-fall proposition. If you are passing through in the cold months, plan to handle tanks farther south where services stay open, because winterized parks up here will not have running water.
How much does it cost to dump near Cumberland?
It depends on the route. A full-hookup night at Eagle Point Campground runs about $40 to $45 and includes the dump station and sewer hookup, while Country Quiet Campground is around $30 to $40 for electric and water sites with dump access. If you do not want to book a night, Wisconsin state parks let registered campers dump for free and charge non-registered visitors roughly $10 per use. That $10 drop-in is usually the cheapest option for a quick pass-through, though for the convenience and lake setting, a night at Eagle Point is hard to beat.
What highways lead into Cumberland for an RV?
Cumberland sits where US-63 meets Wisconsin Highway 48. US-63 is the main north-south artery, running south through Rice Lake to I-94 about 60 miles away, with I-35 roughly 80 miles west. We did not find posted low-clearance or weight restrictions on these routes, so big rigs come through fine, but WisDOT has been modifying some US-63 access points for safety, so it is worth checking 511wi.gov for current construction before you travel. Rice Lake, about 15 miles south on US-63, is your last big-box resupply point before the smaller north-woods towns.
Where is the best RV camping in Cumberland?
Eagle Point Campground is the clear favorite. It is a city-run park on an 11-acre peninsula jutting into Beaver Dam Lake, with 32 concrete-pad sites, full hookups including sewer, 20/30/50 amp electric, a dump station, a beach, boat launch, and trails, and it earns near-perfect camper ratings. It is also walkable to Main Street. Country Quiet Campground is a smaller, quieter private alternative south of town with seven shaded gravel sites, electric and water, and a dump station. For most RVers wanting hookups and a lake, Eagle Point is the one to book, ideally well ahead in summer.
When should I visit Cumberland in an RV?
Late June through late August is the prime window. That is when temperatures are comfortable, every campground is open with full services, and the lake is at its best for swimming, fishing, and boating. Late August brings the Rutabaga Festival the weekend before Labor Day, the busiest and most fun time to be in town, though you will need reservations well in advance. Early fall is pleasant for leaf color but services start winding down around October 1. We would avoid winter and early spring for RV travel here unless you are fully self-contained, because park water and dumping are shut off.
Can I park overnight outside a campground in Cumberland?
We could not find a Cumberland-specific overnight parking ordinance, and Wisconsin has no statewide ban on overnight rest area stays, though vehicles parked more than 24 hours at a rest area may be subject to removal by the State Patrol. Retail-lot overnighting comes down to individual store managers, so ask first. Honestly, with Eagle Point Campground right in town offering a lakefront full-hookup site, a dump station, and fresh water for a reasonable rate, there is little reason to rough it in a lot here. Book a night, sort your tanks, and enjoy the Island City properly.
Are there RV services and propane in Cumberland?
Yes, more than you might expect for a small town. Cumberland has AmeriGas propane service, plus two RV-related outfits: Wisco RV and Marine and Lundmark Camper Sales on US-63. Fuel and Main Street shopping are in town, and a Walmart Supercenter in Rice Lake about 15 miles south covers full groceries and a wider parts selection. We would handle propane and any repair needs before heading deeper into the north woods, where towns get smaller and services thin out. For tank dumping and fresh water, stick with Eagle Point or Country Quiet during their open season.
Does Cumberland have a dump station at a state park?
Not inside the city, but Wisconsin DNR maintains dump stations at state parks in the broader region, and those are governed by the statewide fee structure: free for registered campers, around $10 per use for non-registered visitors. Dump stations at state facilities also follow the same cold-season closure, generally not operating from October through mid-May. For dumping right in Cumberland itself, the municipal Eagle Point Campground and the private Country Quiet Campground are your on-the-spot options. Check the official Wisconsin DNR camping rules page for the nearest state park, current fees, and seasonal operating dates before relying on one.
What is the Rutabaga Festival and does it affect RV plans?
The Rutabaga Festival is Cumberland signature event, running since 1932 on the weekend before Labor Day, with a carnival, live music, a parade, a craft fair, and a fun run around the lake. It is a great time to be in the Island City, but it is also the single busiest weekend of the year, so Eagle Point Campground and other local sites book up well in advance. If you want to camp during the festival, reserve months ahead through Campspot. If you would rather avoid crowds, aim for a quieter midsummer or early-fall weekend when sites and dumping are easy to come by.
What is there to do around Cumberland?
Plenty for a lake-town stop. Beaver Dam Lake nearly surrounds Cumberland and drives most of the recreation, with fishing, boating, swimming, and a public beach and boat launch at Eagle Point Park. Main Street is compact and walkable from the campground, with local shops and classic Wisconsin supper clubs like the 5 O Clock Club worth a visit. Timberland Hills has cross-country ski trails for the winter crowd, and St. Croix Casino near Turtle Lake is about 15 miles south. A Wisconsin fishing license is required if you plan to fish, and the lake is the main reason to linger here.
Where can I dump my RV tanks in Cumberland, WI?
The main spot is Eagle Point Campground, the city-owned park on the Beaver Dam Lake peninsula, which has its own dump station along with full-hookup sites that include sewer at the pad.
