Beautiful, clean and quiet park on the Mississippi River. Did not use bath/shower house. Hosts were courteous and helpful. Visit the Dutch Windmill and Museum in Fulton, IL. Also, about an hour drive to Galena/Dubuque areas. There is a river museum in Dubuque that we enjoyed as well.

All OK. I’ve been here multiple times and find the facilities well organized and maintained. I just wish camp sites were more visually separated.
Dream on, I guess.

Great time. The hosts were very accommodating of a problem we had encountered.
We like the improvements (concrete pads and electrical updates) in the RIVE Loop.
Always enjoy going to the Lock and Dam to see the barges pass through. Other than that, we enjoy sitting outside, relaxing, and watching the pelicans, Sandhills, Eagles, and other wildlife.
It's clean, and the bathhouses are well-maintained.

Campground and facilities were clean, well maintained and very comfortably laid out. One of the best facilities we have been to with our RV. We would love to have a fishing dock to fish from. The rock shoreline is necessary, but not safe for everyone to fish from. There are few public bank/dock fishing locations available to the public in this area.

Views are great! Bathrooms are really clean and well kept. Sites are concrete pads and great to set up the camper. Lots of wildlife to observe!
