The campground was very nice and had great views of the Mississippi River. Electric only with water available in the campground and a nice place to dump. The reason I didn’t rate it higher is due to something beyond the control of the campground- the busy rail line right next to it. You must cross the tracks as you enter the campground which means the trains blow their horns as they approach that crossing. It will wake you up several times during the night.

Nice place to relax and watch the barges on the river. Lot of trains too so it can be a little noisy. Campsites are nice with adequate space between sites.

This is a wonderfully maintained campground. We stayed in site 9. We could sit under our awning and watch the tugs and barges go down the Mississippi. The camp host was wonderful. She greeted us as we pulled in and came to see us the next day to see how we were doing and inquire if we needed anything. There are lots of things to see in this area. We will DEFINATELY be returning.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
