Blanding Landing

Host and ranger friendly and helpful. Grounds neat and tidy.

Kids had so much fun at this location, we added an extra day to our stay.

Very nice little park on the Mississippi. Electric at sites, plenty of central water spigots. Spacious sites. There is a train track near, but not bothersome - in any event, it is unavoidable camping along the Mississippi. Part of its charm.

It’s a lovely campground with very clean facilities. The shower house was spotless, and even the outhouse close to the campground was in great condition (we know because we sheltered inside it during 90 mph wind gusts and torrential rain during our stay).

Great access to the river if you have watercraft. It’s located in an isolated area down hilly, narrow, sometimes gravel roads. We love the isolation but it might not be everybody’s cup of tea.

The only downside was the frequent railroad traffic. There’s a crossing right at the entrance to the campsite. The alarms go off and the train horns sound DOZENS of times during the day and night. If you’re a light sleeper be sure to bring earplugs.

Very nice small quiet camp ground.

Nice quiet campground. Trains are not as bad as we've had in the past. (sites on the outer perimeter are right near the train tracks) Fill up water upon arrival. Lots of grass! Showers were great! There is a nice picnic area by the water, which we really enjoyed! Turtles! Tornado sirens in the area are tested at 12noon on Tuesdays

Site #8 was level. Site was grass and well drained.
Campground itself was well maintained and bathrooms clean.

Perhaps not as well developed as other Army core of engineers campgrounds, but I would consider it excellent.

We visited Blanding Landing during the middle of the week in September and found it quiet and peaceful - mostly. There are nearby freight trains that run several times a day and occasionally at night. However, for us, we found it interesting. We also enjoyed watching the recreational boats come and go from the boat ramp. The campground host was friendly and helpful. Bathroom was clean and Blanding Landing is definitely a place we would return to if we are in the area again.

We pulled in with a flat tire on our RV. The Host, Ann was quick to help us by inflating our tire so we could get it off and to our site. After 2 hours, we still couldn't get the tire off so she recruited a fellow camper and a neighbor. They all helped us and were amazing people!! The campground was beautiful and very clean. We will be back!

Campsite was very nice, clean showers and restrooms also has a boat launch. 10 min from eagle ridge resort! That being said we thought we were in a tent only spot and we had a camper right next to us. Big led lights on, tv going and air conditioner running. Our spot would have had a really nice view of the backwater but the brush was blocking it. Campsite 13. The campsite host was extremely nice and helpful one of the best!
