Feet from the Mississippi

The park is on the beautiful might Mississippi river. It’s 2 miles from Potosi, WI with a large brewery with good food as well. Army Corps so half price with America The Beautiful senior discount card. If you like trains you will see many, close and going fast.

Nice Campground on the River

Nice campground. Cement pads and blacktop roads. Clean shower houses. Train tracks border the campground and train horns are loud. Has sites with views of the Mississippi.

Spacious with train tracks

The tent site that we were at was very specious for my dog to run freely with his long leash. A lot of shade and space for everyone. We stayed right by the bathrooms. Showers have a push button so water pressure and temperature was not very great. The river was a great view and campground was big to walk around. Plenty of people coming through but a quiet neighborhood. Other than the train passing right by us, we enjoyed our time there.

Nice campground on Mississippi River with downside

Stayed August 4, 2021.

Campground was neat and tidy.  Vault toilet was clean.  Most sites had view of river.  Some sites were fairly close.  A railroad mainline ran along the campground.  Our site was about 100 ft from rail and campground was where train would blow their whistle.  Until midnight, trains went by about every 1/2 hour.  After midnight about every other hour.  Gave campground a 4, but experience was a 3.

Nice Campground

Some of the sites are tight. Railroad tracks border the campground. Train horns are loud and was awaken at 3 am. It does have a nice view of the Mississippi and you can see the river from many camp sites.

Beautiful River

Stop here on a whim. Loved the view of the the Mississippi River. But, the trains going by during the night was a bit annoying. Though, would not stop me from camping here again.

Always packed in the summer

Nice views of the Iowa and Wisconsin Mississippi River bluffs. Lots of noise from the railroad that has a train every 30 min.

It’s right on the Mississippi

It’s right next to the Mississippi, and that’s it’s shining quality. Groundskeepers wake up and get started early, and the train tracks are not far away. Sites don’t give a lot of privacy. Park was really well maintained.

Buggy

I like the place but lots of nats. Train didn't bother me.
