Stopped here to fill our tank with drinking water for dry camping. Was able to get 41 foot fifth wheel in and out without too much difficulty. Drinking water spigot was clearly marked at the dump station before entering the campground. It was a Sunday and no one was around to take a payment or check in with to see if it was OK.

We were thrilled to see the dump station with fresh water prior to entering the campground. Figuring, if we couldn't fit in a site - our tanks were empty and had full fresh water. As it turned out - there were plenty of campsites available and ALL of them would fit a large rig comfortably.
All the sites have electric available - we were not given the option to boondock for a reduced rate. There have been many improvements made to the campsites - I believe the only sites without power are now the tent sites, which are located in the center grassy area amongst the pine trees. Our site was on the main outer loop - level, with a grassy area directly behind the site, which worked beautifully for our 16' cargo trailer - DID NOT NEED TO UNHOOK.
We were directly under an oak tree that was loaded with acorns ---- little bombs hitting us all night - but other than that, it was a really comfortable site. Did not see any sites with a "view".....nice walking, though.

All sites are back in concrete. Each site has a fire ring, Grill & picnic table. Water is available via hand pump. Pit toilets & trash receptacles in multiple locations At the entrance/exit of the park, there is a dump station & fresh water fill
Roads are all paved. I took several walks on the road. There is old cemetery on the site, very interesting. Also a lookout point, overlooking the Mississippi River
The park has a small playground & several picnic areas, less than 1/2 mile walk
