The neighbors kept making my dogs bark with there dogs. And then they complained about mine. There dogs caused mine to bark. My dogs are puppies and will bark.

The campground is wonderful and the people in the office are, too. We had a MAN in the women’s bathroom three times using toilets and the shower. That was awful! The way things are these days I don’t know what you can do about it.

We were in Pokegama Campground in our Motorhome during the Judy Garland Festival 2024. The rangers erected a large screen and projected the Wizard of Oz movie for camp goers and the general public. That was exceptional….but it got better….they personally handed out free boxes of popcorn to the movie goers. Way beyond the call of duty and sooo impressive. A wonderful campground right on the Mississippi with great amenities and amazing employees.

Pokegama Dam ticks all the boxes...except mountains. It's convenient, priced right, clean, well-maintained, and level sites.
