We were canoeing the Mississippi river and camped in our tents for one night. Ordered pizza and had delivered right to our camp site. Main highway was right off the campground so traffic noise was a constant problem. Campground was clean and well maintained. Hot showers were a welcome pleasure.
Think campground is mainly for RV'S and the like. In our tents the outside noise made sleep difficult.

Very nice facility! I basically was there during the evening hours. Never checked out the whole campground. Very quiet. Plan on coming back in 2020!

Our campsite was not really great for tenting, but it was ample sized. It seems like this could be a good place to bring an RV, which is what most people had done. Bathroom and shower facilities were very clean. I'm pretty sure this is the campsite where I fell asleep to the sound of frogs, which was delightful.
