One of the nicest COE campgrounds around. As everyone knows there are a lot of them. Campsites are large and level and right on the Mississippi River. Very peaceful except for the occasional trains going by. Trains didn’t bother our campsite visitor…a cute little black bear that was up in a tree and then came down and ran right in front of us.
