Site 47 is a level site with a good view of the backwater area. Highlight was sights and sounds of marsh birds. Sept is hunting season which did not set well with one of our dogs. Shots could be heard each morning and evening. The site also has a hickory tree that supplied a squirrel with large nut shells that were dropped on top of our camper and truck at dusk and dawn. Rest for us did not come easy that weekend. Lol! That’s part of camping. Our last night and day a different site came open and we were blessed with the best view this facility had to offer looking westward across the beautiful Mississippi River. It made the whole trip worthwhile. I give this facility two thumbs up but being a major River you’ll get different experiences and views throughout the year. The staff was great!

The large group of tent campers from Chicago were very disrespectful of those around them. Very loud until 1:30 Friday night & 12:30 Saturday night. They walked right thru others camp area & asked if we were getting tired of them.

We enjoyed our stay. We have a 25' class A and our pull thru site was perfect. The price was good for what we got. Neat and clean. Only offered electric hook up (I think) but water was convenient had we needed to fill again (found lots of fresh water spigots thru out area). Bathroom was clean. Fishing was good. Big dump area looks like 4 or more rigs could pull in depending on size and they also had portable dump station spots if you didn't want to go back to the big dump area never saw that before.
