Stayed one night, primitive, right next to the River. Near by pavilion has power for charging. We’re riding the 270 mile Minne Io Wisco loop. This spot is perfect. $1 shower, clean portapotty near by. Super quiet besides trains and barges. Manager Justin is a great guy.

We had fun camping. We were here beginning of October but had great weather - 70’s every day. Bathrooms were very clean. Showers available and reasonable - $2 for 12 minutes. Office has ice and same price as the gas station in town. Train tracks run right behind the park and blows the whistle - luckily it only went by at 5am once while we were there. Duck hunters were out and there engines are Ext... We had fun camping. We were here beginning of October but had great weather - 70’s every day. Bathrooms were very clean.

Fishing was awesome. Got to see barges go by multiple times a day/night (they are quiet lol) and even got to see a cruise boat.

I pretty much learned how to swim here as a child, always love to stop and put my toes in the water.
