We were only there for a day but it is very nice. Ours had a concrete pad, was level with a parking area next to our camper. Electric, water and sewer hook up. Very nice!

Site 30. New, nice double concreted pad. This COE may be the niceset campground we've stayed in, and we've stayed in several. 50 amp, FHU, shaded. A bit unlevel left to right, but nothing to complain about. The only issue.... no wifi. We have both TMobile and Verizon. Neither worked. Talked to gate attendant and he said the same. Ray Behrens and Indian Creek have wifi, but not here. It's too bad they spent so much money in updatiing this campground but neglected wifi. Would we stay here again? Definite maybe. The wifi issue may be a deal breaker for us.

We were in site 43. The full concrete pads, including the apron for the picnic table and fire ring, was great. The Mark Twain lake is beautiful!

We really like coming to Frank Russell with its updated improvements. I like the space in between sites. Close to Hannibal if you would like to do some shopping or go out to eat.
The bike/walking path is awesome, but needs to be paved. Rocks are hard to ride bikes and walk on.

The ranger saw us pull up to the entrance and handed us our lot identifier as he had recognized our Motorhome from the description on the form we had filled in on line. The lot was a level concrete pad with water, electric and sewer in the shade.
Very nice.

Site 43 very level, and roomy. I wish outside area had more concrete due to stormy weather. Mud, and sand got tracked into camper. But overall, it was a good stay.

Bow range, gun range, boat docks, trails, restaurants just down the road from a huge beautiful lake. So so much to do!
