We stayed in the southern loop. The spaces are spread apart, but there wasn't much in the way of privacy foliage between campsites. There are lots of mature trees providing shade for some spots, but others are exposed. Our power hookups worked as they should, but note that there is no water hookups. There is fresh water at the dump station to fill tanks and hydrants dispersed throughout the loops. With the weather as hot as it was, we spent a fair amount of time on the river playing in the sand and cold water. Fires weren't allowed due to drought conditions. But we managed some pretty good bike rides to include a fairly long loop thru the wildlife preserve further to the south and some of the trails between the campground and the hatchery. The shower house worked well, but beginning to show it's age. There was only one shower for men in our loop. I assume the same for the ladies.

Bath houses are nice and clean and the park is nice and clean. Only suggestion we would have is to re-do the shower setups. Having to walk through one shower area to get to another takes away the use of the first shower. No one uses the first one because of it. The parking pads are awesome. Water would be nice but it works the way it is. We enjoy the park and the trails….it’s one of our favorites places to go.

Our campsite was nice. The modern bathrooms were maintained nicely. Enjoyed the campground in general-very nice area. Enjoyed bank fishing in the Missouri River adjacent to the campground. We saw lots of wildlife. The Men's vault toilet in Loop 3 could have been maintained better. We will be back.
