Camper Camping 5 Stars?

I rated this campground 2 stars based on they type of camping that I like to do. If you like to feel secluded in the wilderness when camping then avoid this place at all costs. If you are looking for a place park your camper with a nice view and plenty of distractions for your kids then this could be the perfect place. We went camping with my girlfriend's family and they loved it.

The campground has very nice views of the Mississippi River and the surrounding bluffs. The lot size for campers are big enough that you aren't stacked on top of your neighbor but there aren't a lot of trees. Plenty of playground equipment and some organized activities for children. There was a nice beach. We rented canoes and paddled around the river (probably my favorite part of the weekend.) There was a rummage sale the weekend we went (there are permanent residents there) which some members of my camping party loved. Very clean bathroom building with free showers.

Personally I was going to give it 1 star but I bumped it up because of the beach and some of the surrounding activities. But that being said my girlfriend's mother would have given it 5 stars so it really depends on your idea of what an ideal camping experience is. The campground had its own Wifi covering the whole place which really sums it up pretty well.
