The campsites are very clean and tidy. There are some nice views of the Mississippi River. We appreciated the clean, well stocked bathrooms. Maple trees give plenty of shade. The cement pads are very level, and there are nice firepits. Check-in was easy.
One downside is that the train whistle is very loud.
The "trail" at this campground is very short, but the nearby Wildcat Den State Park has great hiking trails.

Nice little spot on the river. Firewood is expensive.

Nice site and very helpful camp host. We did not have reservations but the host was very helpful getting us a good site. The majority of the campground was closed due to recent flooding but the area that was open was clean and well maintained.

The park was mostly closed, but we snagged one of the few open RV sites. It is a very nice, small campground with paved sites and electric on site. The Mississippi is lovely. This was just a stopover for us but we would definitely come back!

Clean and neat, well-maintained campground. Was just an overnight for me while traveling, so did not explore the area beyond the campground and associated facilities. Definitely would come back again when I have more time to explore the mighty Mississippi and adjacent areas. Restrooms and showers were especially maintained and well cleaned. Upon arrival, the staff had my reservation in hand and were friendly and very efficient.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- 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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
