Nice County CG along Mississippi River

Good moderate trails, boat/paddling/fishing access, showers, firewood available in main park, sites are a bit close, bait rentals nearby main marina in park with ice, bait, consessions, etc. Trails through forest are moderate with elevation changes.

Beautiful, peaceful, friendly and helpful.

Beautiful surroundings of shade trees. The cleanest restrooms and showers I have ever seen. Can’t wait to return to the new area for RV’s and 5th wheels! Full hookups AND so reasonable priced. Staff was very friendly and helpful especially after a summer cross wind storm went through and took electric from most sites. 

We will return again and again.

What happened to the foliage?

We had hoped to spend the night here but when we got to the site it was or seemed like a flat vacant lot. There was electrical and water at each RV site but absolutely no privacy. The equestrian camp felt like there was a possibility but far from the bathroom. But many trails that start at the site.
