This 11 acre park is a popular Class A campground along the Mississippi River. It has 45 concrete sites all with 50 amp electrical service and many with great views of the river. The park is shaded by large mature trees and recently landscaped planters to provide that relaxing atmosphere that camping promotes. Many of these campsites can accommodate large RV’s, and most sites also offer much “green space” between you and your neighbor’s campsite.
This busy recreation area is open from May 1 through the fourth Sunday in October. Making reservations well in advance are encouraged to guarantee you have a spot to camp when you arrive. This is especially true for holiday weekends and for local area special events held throughout the recreation season. The park is accessible to day users only and no camping is allowed during the seasonal closure.
