A very pleasant campground. Enjoyed the hiking trail. the only drawback was the noise due to the trains and so close to the highway.

Was very nice and quiet the dam is there for walking to and across also got to ride my bike across the dam and onto some trails across the river ! The nice thing about this campground is its only a couple miles from all kinds of places to eat ! Culvers,Taco Bell,McDonalds,KFC,Burger King,Grand Buffet a China restaraunt ,Subway, Caseys for very good Pizza ! Showers were very nice ! We bought the Senior Lifetime pass so our rate was I believe $20. We will be back !

Lovely COE Park, big sites, 50 amp service. No water or sewer at the sites, but water is close to most sites, so it's pretty easy to fill your onboard tank. The only downside is the railroad tracks that are close, but they didn't bother us very much. We had Site 18 this time. We have been here multiple times and will continue to come.
