DO NOT BOOK SITE 20 without seeing it first. Both site 20 and 21 are not mapped correctly. You must walk through site 20 to get to 21. Site 20 is right next to the boat ramp and sloped with the only flat spot is right next to the fire ring. So only small tents and no fires with the tent up. Site 21 isn't too bad but you 10 ft from the train that comes though early.

Please fix the site map on this app! Sites 20 and 21 are next to the railroad tracks, north of the boat launch. Map currently shows them as directly east of the parking lot. Otherwise had an amazing time, amenities were clean and shower was hot. :)

While the campground was perfect for RVs, we were a little challenged with our tent. The bathroom and showers were well maintained and cleaned regularly. The setting overlooking the Mississippi River was very nice. The highway noise is a little intrusive.

We were in Site 7. There are several good sites at Pokegama, but for our 30 ft camper we feel sites 5,6,7 are probably our favorites. We come here for the convenience as it's located close to Tioga Mountain Biking. Also just a short drive to Chisholm so we can ride at Redhead. The highway noise from highway 2 and the railroad might be a turnoff for some, but the convenient location and cleanliness of this campground outweigh those issues for us. If I were to make a suggestion, I'd suggest the rangers jump on the kids on the e-bike racing up and down the road through the campground. That's really my only concern and it's for safety reasons. The speed limit in the campground is 10 mph and they were far exceeding that. Cell service in site 7 (verizon) was rather limited, but our starlink dish worked pretty well. Overall a pleasant weekend. This was our 3rd summer coming here and we plan to be back next year. Good work!
