Place is real nice- The camp host attendants are really nice people- The only issue is the boat dock needs to be dredged - This has been a on- going issue at this site - Pls pass on to whom this needs to be sent to.

Barking dogs was a big problem. One camper near us had six dogs that all barked numerous times per day.

Electric sites with water spigots spread out. All back in sites. Hard to get back in without going off paved road. Can be a mud hole when it rains. Nice shower and restroom sites. Hosts are great. Boat ramp available. Lighthouse bar and restaurant right down the road. Lots of trees. Wood for sale. Can accept most any size rig at all sites. Cement pad with gravel patio and picnic table. Dump station on the way out. Next to train tracks. Nice view of barge traffic on the Mighty Mississippi. Must reserve on recreation.com

Cancellation policy

- 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.
