We camped here in October, 2014 in a 35 foot fifth wheel. The rate shown is for a riverfront site with full hookups. Our site was a full hookup back in site with a paved pad, picnic table, fire ring and lantern hook. Behind our site was a grassy area between us and the Mississippi River.

We camped here in October, 2014 in a 35 foot fifth wheel. The rate shown is for a riverfront site with full hookups.
Our site was a full hookup back in site with a paved pad, picnic table, fire ring and lantern hook. Behind our site was a grassy area between us and the Mississippi River. We enjoyed watching barges going up and down the river and the trains which passed by on the tracks along the river. We love hearing the trains so the noise was not a problem for us.
The state park is a certified site on the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail and commemorates the tragic relocation of five Native American tribes from the southeastern United States to Oklahoma. The visitor’s center in the park features exhibits that interpret the forced relocation.
About 15 miles south of the park is Cape Giradeau with restaurants, stores, and a historic downtown district including the mural on the floodwall along Water Street.

It's been a number of years, but remember it as a good place to stop. Semi primitive, remote, just what the doctor ordered by our way of thinking. Plenty of trees, mostly local visitors to give it flavor and of course a RR tracks to make one feel like a "travel'n person"

There are two parts to this park -- and both have RV spots, but we chose the Mississippi Campground Loop because its right on the river. It also happens to be right on a railroad track, but honestly, it didn't bother us -- there were a handful of trains during the day, but they stopped at night when we were there.

There are two parts to this park -- and both have RV spots, but we chose the Mississippi Campground Loop because its right on the river. It also happens to be right on a railroad track, but honestly, it didn't bother us -- there were a handful of trains during the day, but they stopped at night when we were there. The park is really well kept and there's a lot to do.
