Super cute, super friendly

We stumbled upon this place deciding to camp at the last minute on a perfect weather weekend. While it wasn’t as remote as we would have preferred, it was well kept, had plenty of amenities and very friendly ownership.

Highly recommend

Booking online was easy; we booked two nights and had a wonderful stay. The campground is very peaceful with spacious sites and a pretty view right on the water. The owners were so kind and helpful. The bike trail is within steps of your site. Hookups for electric and water available. Well maintained portapotties at various points throughout the grounds. (My only concern was the proximity to railroad tracks since I’m a light sleeper, but I was not at all bothered. Didn’t hear a single train whistle during the night and daytime passing trains appear to be infrequent.)

Amazing location!

This was such an inviting clean and beautiful camping area. Right on the water, you can rent boats/kayaks/paddleboard, fishing, so much to do. They have a camp shop, with ice pop water popsicles, freeze treats and a nice hang out spot inside with a lovely fan. The water was extremely low, but still managed to fish at boat launch Great staff and was great to walk around at dusk with everyone waving hello. Great atmosphere great people great times! Will definitely be coming back.

awesome vintage campground- gateway to beautiful National Wildlife Refuge

Sunsets and stargazing, fishing and kayaking, biking and relaxing! This campground is the perfect sanctuary for your family and friends to get away, enjoy quiet time and be outdoors.  It's like a step back in time in the best way possible. The quiet nature of this campground allow campers to enjoy the protected wildlife of the refuge (bird watchers- bring you cameras), access to Spring Lake fishing and the Great River Bike trail runs right through the campground for biking, skateboarding or walking.  Rent the tandem bike, play a game, take out a paddle board,  make a fire and relax. We love it here.
