Did not camp here

Looks like an un-maintained Corp of Engineer campground. Tried to camp here, but dirt road going in was submerged in deep mud holes after some heavy rain. Otherwise, this might have been a good dispersed camping location along the Mississippi River. You may be able to disperse camp at a spot just after crossing the levee, but there was nothing attraction there. Just some trash that previous users left behind.

Great dispersed river camping

Great isolated camping at river edge where Iowa and Mississippi rivers meet! Paddling, fishing, hiking in bottom land forests. Look out for insects. Pack in/out, gather drift wood for fire, watch barges pass by. Paddle upstream to Port Louisa NWR or Lake Odessa.
