Nice level concrete pad with lighted power pedestal. Verizon coverage is not good, AT&T coverage was better but upload speed was very slow. There are a lot of mature trees the provided shade but also was detrimental when using Starlink for internet connection.

This is RV camping at its best! Large, paved, level sites, on an island, on the Great River. We enjoyed the peaceful, scenic surroundings, clean restrooms, showers, and grounds. Loved watching and hearing all the wildlife, Sandhill Cranes, Blue Herons, Great Egrets. Such a great place to spend a few nights!
