Frank Russell Campground - Clean, quiet, and spacious campsites. Concrete pad with full hookups. Half price with our National Park pass. Best deal around!!
Close to the dam and visitors center, which offered an amazing display of local habitat. Close to the historic and quaint town of Hannibal, situated on the Mississippi River.
We will be back!

At no fault to the campground, I arrived after dark to my site. There were absolutely no street lights or lighting of any kind, except my flashlight. I must admit that made my set-up a bit more difficult, as I had never been there before and it was a bit disorienting in the dark. Another thing that hit me were thousands of gnats, which were of course drawn to my flashlight. My pad was leaning slightly downhill on one side so that took additional work leveling out. By morning things looked so much better. It is a very nice campground with full amenities at your site, which is wonderful. It was great to have sewer connections right there, in addition to electric and water. I will say that my normal 30 amp plug didn't work, but fortunately I had a 50 amp adapter that did. You can tell they have done a lot of improvements and updating there and it really is a nice, quiet place. I did enjoy doing my running throughout the campground, as well as numerous laps on my bike. I don't have children, but I did notice there aren't many things for the kids to do as far as playground areas. I talked to some people who had been there before, and they were quite impressed with all the updates that the COE had done to improve this campground. As I mentioned, the campground is nice, with cement pads and paved roads throughout the park. My only complaint really is no lighting after dark. A streetlight here or there would be so helpful, especially for folks like me coming in after dark for the first time. I enjoyed my stay there for a few nights.

Only negative was that the pottable water at the dump station had a strong sulfur smell.
