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.

The sites handled my 36’ motorhome and towed Jeep.
Great views of the Mississippi River and passing tugboats and barges.
Wildcat State Park is close by and well worth a visit.

Very pretty place to camp. Love being able to walk along the river. Love all the paved spots and roads. Makes it easy for leveling and a good place to ride bike

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- 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.
