Very clean and open park with many spaces available for a 31 foot RV with a tow vehicle. Did I say it's also very charming. They have a convenient dump station and some sites have electricity and water. Very good price. The park and playground are great and there's a little train depot. Great place to stop when traveling highway 30 into Iowa.

Very nice park with RV sites around the perimeter along the fence. Electric at each site, water at every 3rd site. No sewer connection but there is a dump site. It was quiet overnight with the exception of an occasional train. Sites are only $15 put into a drop box. The pay envelope bin was empty and, according to others, had been that way for over a week. City workers came and went every day but... Very nice park with RV sites around the perimeter along the fence. Electric at each site, water at every 3rd site.

The hookups are around tje fence. You park on side..water is about every 3rd site, bring a long hose. There is a kids park right next to camping. Beautiful location.

Nice little city campground. The bathrooms (no showers) are on the SE corner of one of the big white buildings. The bathrooms on the NW side and facing the park are locked (only open for special events I believe) and not part of the campground.

Train runs through here about 50 feet away and honks its horn exactly here. Probably 8 trains have passed through overnight and you still have to listen to the thumping of the tracks. Besides that the park is fine
