Great place right on the river. Great IF there aren't many people. If it's close to full, I would stay away, as the spots are right on top of each other without trees/shrubs to serve as dividers.

08/11/2024 Neat little place along the Mississippi. Seen camping spots. Nice little park with a few pavilions with picnic tables and grills. There is an old steam engine on the property. Directly across the river is a view of Tower Rock which is in Missouri.

This was a fantastic location. Nestle between two foothills along the Mississippi River it provided a pictureques place to bunk down for the night. Check in was easy and well priced. I would recommend this location to anyone.

We never saw a host or ranger. We checked in for 2 nights, came and went, never seeing anyone in charge. Other campers guided us to the few sites with working electric hookups.
