Our tent campsite was next to the train tracks and the highway. Also we were behind another campsite and we felt bad walking through the other site to ours. It was mostly full sun too. We did walk over to the big beautiful shelter to make our meals.

Really love these ACoE camgrounds. All sites are spacious. This one is super quiet, allows campfires & has many sites along the Mississippi River.

The campground water is horribly contaminated with iron. It smells awful and tastes like blood.
