I realize this is a small park mostly used for transient camping however it seemed surprisingly (compared to the Army Core of Engineering Campgrounds) lacking in any presence of managing staff. Your pamphlets could use some updating . Generally speaking it is a noisy place with the traffic of cars, trucks and trains. It is beautiful.
YOu may want to inquire about the overwhelming smell in the mid-camp toilets.

Beautiful camping experience right on the Mississippi River! Camp was clean and well maintained. Too bad the fish weren’t biting!
