Very nice campground! Bathrooms nice and clean.
Only downside is they are in dire need of new boards on tables or new tables.

The sites are level and well spaced. The shower and bathroom facilities were clean and secure. The forest is beautiful and there is good access to the Mississippi River. Nearby Deer River has a good grocery store and all the basics. Grand Rapids, 35 miles away, is a larger regional center with good health care, restaurants, local shops and some national chains (which can be helpful sometimes).

Quiet, clean campgrounds with hot showers. No views from the campsites but you can hear the dam for a relaxing sleep.
