Fairly quiet RV park at night, though the spaces are close, along the river. Water and electric are on shared posts so you may need a longer cord and hose if your space is on the "wrong side". My unit is 36ft long and I was able to use (just) the 25ft hose. The electrical cord was more than sufficient but it will depend on where your hook up is located. GREAT Internet. NO CREDIT CARDs accepte... Fairly quiet RV park at night, though the spaces are close, along the river.

Cash or Check or, I believe, Money Order A True Value hardware store is just across the road and a DQ a block down. The town (just a couple of blocks away) is quite attractive and there are several restaurants. A local person highly recommended the Crow Bar bar and grill. Parking is available both on street and in public parking lots - no charge!

Love the park and the town is even more of a plus. It's not a real kid friendly park. Has a swing set and slide in sand. Has a very nice picnic area and we were able to have some fun with our 13 grandchildren like sac races, 3 legged races and as you can tell we used our imagination bringing back memories from our childhood. They had a blast doing 400 water balloons and we paid cash prizes for who... Love the park and the town is even more of a plus. It's not a real kid friendly park. Has a swing set and slide in sand.

I don't know where to start. After calling to reserve a spot, had to call back and get the access code to the bathroom. Host gave us the wrong campsite number after we already paid. Electric and water hookups are way behind the campsites to the point my cord barely reached. We were close to the main road so, it was nice having the traffic sounds put me to sleep.

Host gave us the wrong campsite number after we already paid. Electric and water hookups are way behind the campsites to the point my cord barely reached. We were close to the main road so, it was nice having the traffic sounds put me to sleep. The bathrooms were horrible. All concrete block, dirty with poor ventilation. Only good thing, sites were very long and level.

Nice city rv park with full hook-ups! Right on the Wapsi River. City water-park was within walking distance but had closed for the season just before our visit. DQ right across the street, but in the season of covid, they do not have walk-up service so you will need to actually drive through the drive through. Easy to burn, nicely cut firewood for purchase on-site.
