Beautiful campground

Water and dump station is available. No water or electric at sites. Cell service with Verizon was only available with WeBoost on and not that great then. Fire pits and picnic tables were available at your site. Cost was 8 dollars a night. This is an older campground with many hiking trails nearby at the state forest. It was wonderfully quiet during the week. There is a little unkept fishing area on a back water on the Mississippi River. I loved the place but it is definitely boondocking with water and dump station available.

Beautiful and quite

Water is available through out the campground to fill your tank and there is a dump station also. Fire pits and tables at each site. Large pine trees were beautiful. Cell service wasn’t good, used WeBoost to get any internet.
