These mostly level gravel spaces along the Mississippi River are reasonably spaced, with fire pits and picnic tables. Liked that the park was not too large. Loved watching the moon rise over the river. Very picturesque. Verizon service was good. The only downside is some (minor) road noise and train noise. While there aren't a lot of trains passing by, the whistle is loud, though it didn't bother us much inside our RV. We visited the Wildcat Den State Park which had great hiking trails. Shopping is available in nearby Muscatine.

Nice little campground with the river right there with boat ramps even. Water and electric hookup. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Only complaint was, there was a lot of train traffic with them going by throughout the night with the horn.

Rural, small State site with electric, water and a dump. Full bath and showers. 18.00 a night full hook up. Fire pits with racks for cooking. Tent sites available. Beautiful area on the Mississippi river. 4-10-23 Part of the campgrounds were underwater but there were plenty of open sites. We would stop again great for a quick overnight stay.

It's a nice place for camping but not really much else. There is a boat ramp for access to the Mississippi River and ample parking for trailers. It appears to be well kept up.

Smaller campground, much more to our liking. Nice lots, quiet, clean restrooms. 2 boat ramps. Definitely will be back.
