To check in, you must go to the Mississippi River State Park welcome center which is only 14 miles away but the gorgeous, twisty road makes the trek a little longer. And that's not necessarily a complaint. We saw 11 turkeys on the way. Wildlife and the beauty of nature (especially the leaves during this time of year) is incomparable. We had NO idea that this part of the state was so beautiful. Finding this place is truly a treasure. Pictures won't do it justice. Clean, quiet, and peaceful describe this little treasure. There are 4 bathroom and shower combos which are incredibly clean. There is even a little bicycle repair station by the bathhouse as there are many biking and hiking trails around! There are 5 little camper cabins as well and they are SUPER cute! To sum it up, this camp and this park are FANTASTIC!! Oh! And the people at the Welcome Center are some of the nicest we have encountered! They will even deliver firewood for you!
