Nice campground in general. Was pretty buggy but also is on the river and lots of trees so expected. All and all would recommend!

Great site for peaceful camping. The facilities have showers which is nice to know for the next time. We slept in tents and we were the only ones, everyone else was in RVs and campers. The sunset over the Mississippi River was beautiful.

Beautiful shaded sites with both river view and slough views. Beavers, Sand Hill Cranes, Herons, Egrets and many other water fowl. Peaceful area with beautiful sunsets from the point. It was fun how there was a migration of campers to the west end to enjoy the sunset together.

Wonderful spot, nice campground. My only comment is that the bathhouse is not super convenient, but you can drive to it. Pit toilet was nearby. We were only there 1 night. Would definitely return some day.

Awesome campground, although I don't like the lighted power stations. Too bright, attracts bugs and ruins the camping ambiance
