An awesome trail that runs along the Root River. It's very flat and beautiful. Best sites are probably 9 and 10...and then 1 and 5.

Nice spot to camp for riding the Root River bike trail. Has sewer , water, and a restroom as well as wifi. Park is clean and kept up to general standards For 30 a night I would hope they could keep the soap and toilet paper stocked. A nice facility, we are likely to return

This is a nice small RV park right next to the Root River Trail. Please note this is for RVs only. It does not have showers.

Our stay was mid-week and we had the park to ourselves! The location to ride either direction on the Root River trail was great. Must pay on site is the only inconvenience as they do not take cc payment online
