Easy reservation and check in, nicely maintained facilities, and beautiful waterfront location and views!
Yes, there are bugs. You are out in nature and on the water - there are plenty of strategies to handle it, you just need to plan appropriately.

We were there to camp with cousins coming from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Although they all had to drive quite a distance to get to Thomson Causeway, they were so impressed by the facilities that they want to continue coming back.

Very level site!. We got to see a beautiful sunset, despite all the flies and mosquitoes! At this point, the Mississippi is at it's widest, 3 1/2 miles wide. We got to picnic on the water! Lots of critters in this eco-system. Turtles, beaver, bullfrogs, herons, dragonflies, deer and a red-headed woodpecker!! Potters South had a lot of empty sites because they had a lot of new sites poured! There was a dump station at the beginning of the campground, but it also featured a gray station dumpsite for those portable gray tanks that we all use. There is a boat ramp
