Warfield Point Park

Pros: The campground is pretty with great views shade trees and access to the Mississippi River, a playground, a day use area( including a large screened covered gazebo) There is a nearby boat dock, ATV use area, Frisbee golf course, several campsites that have electric and water, a bathhouse with showers and a viewing tower for watching the boat traffic. There was no road noise. There is noise from the barges and river boats but it was a consistent hum that did not disturb our sleep. We enjoyed watching the barges and boats go by. Cons: Unfortunately the campground is owned by a county that is not making sure it is getting the repairs it needs so it is becoming less functional. This is sad because the campground and day use area could be a huge benefit to the local community. But it is becoming forgotten. There is issues like non-functioning electrical in some sites, crumbling asphalt, batthrooms had dead bugs all over the floors and fixtures,and missing tile, the dumpsite is pretty rusty but still functional, there is no pay box or online pay site, the employee in charge of taking payments is only on site for a few hours a day. The entry gate says he will come to your site to collect your fees. So I guess they expect you to wait around for hours for him to find you.rather than just putting out envelopes and a slot in a box or at the entrance shack door. They close the gates at 7pm and do not reopen them until the next morning, so if you are there for day use or to use the dumpsite and get locked in you will need to spend the night or call the number on the gate an demand that they send out one of their employees to open the gate. They say it is for the camper's security to keep troublemakers out. Which does make since but it effectively turns the campers into captives also. If they had just made it so the exit had a push button without a code and have the gate automatically close behind the vehicle that is leaving and that also should prevent the gate from opening if there is a vehicle on the outside of the gate it would work much better. For starters just marking the non working electrical sites, cleaning the bathrooms, building a pay box and fixing the gate problem shouldn't cost a lot but would make the park much more user friendly.

Dump station needed maintenance, but worked fine, had rinse and portable water. Brownish in color recommended a filter. RV pads had lots of tree debris. Bathrooms and showers needed maintenance and cleaning lots of bugs lots of mosquitoes. Half of the electrical did not work and were not marked. Great River view, beautiful park just needs some TLC $25

This park has great potential but unfortunately it hasn’t been maintained. The landscape is beautiful but very few of the listed facilities are useable. The restrooms are closed and there’s no access. The disc golf course isn’t useable and is mostly flooded. There are a lot of campsites but many of them are under water. We were able to find a site with electricity and water which is all we needed. Currently there is a guy riding his dirt bike all across the grass, campsites, just making a lot of noise and in general tearing up the ground because it’s soft from the rain. No one seems to care. I wouldn’t stay here again but it’s ok in a pinch.

We were coming through town and just needed a quick place to stop that had an electric hookup. The site also had water, but we didn’t use it. It’s an older park, but it was just fine for us. There are 60+ sites but less than 10 were occupied on a Saturday night.
There is a gas fired power plant next door that was pretty loud overnight - basically built in white noise.
