Nice small campground along the Mississippi river. Most of the sites are level, but a few down at the end are sloped down towards the river. Dump site on site, can be a bit of a wait after a weekend. Most sites are tree shaded, so satellite reception may be difficult. Close to Grand Rapids, MN where there are many things to see and do. Reserve in advance, as it seems to usually fill up.

It’s a very nice clean campground. The traffic going by on the highway can get quite loud, and I did end up cleaning up some other dog’s poop when we were setting up, but otherwise everything was nice, and it worked well for what we there for.

A very quiet place to relax and watch the Mississippi River come over the dam.

The campground was excellent. All facilities were very good! We were not able to remain for a longer time and will try to stop there once again. We especially pleased to be able to reserve and register on-line well in advance of our arrival. Especially since it was pouring rain upon our arrival at the camp site.
