A nice viually appealing campground along the Mississippi River with easy access, paved roads and sites. Lots of trees through out provide shade for 50A electric only sites that have picnic table, fire ring, and gravel patio. Has only one TV channel and satellite signals depend on site location among the trees. This could be a 10 among like campgrounds, but the park is along side a dual track railroad with crossing. There were at least two dozen trains passing in a 24 period. If the whistle and track noise isn't enough, also know that each train creates a minor vibration in the RV as it passes the campground. Price reflects America the Beautiful card discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very good value with Golden Age. Verizon cell was very spotty, broadband was not usable. TV via Batwing was fair, point it to river first. Potosi Brewery has great food and daily specials. The Grotto in Dickeyville is a must see, no charge, donations only. County road O at WI-133 and US-61 is a very, very scenic drive. We camped here in a Motorhome.
WI-133 road was bumpy. Beautiful campground right on the Mississippi River. The sites are good and wide with concrete pads (could accommodate our 40' quad slide motorhome), table and fire ring. We had 50 amp, water available but not for hookup all the time. There is a dump station. The negative is the train that runs constantly and blows its horn since there is a crossing at the entrance to the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground was beautiful and well kept. Many sites had concrete pads with rock patio. Only a couple of sites had direct access to the river, however the shoreline was rocky so you couldn't park a boat or swim from any site. The boat ramp was OK, however not great. The playground was nice with modern play equipment. Trains were really close and ran day and night (1 or more every hour). I would be nervous with little kids by the train tracks as the trains go very fast. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a Corps of Engineers Campground. It is well maintained and very clean. The only hookup at this campground is electric, however, there are water standpipes located so that is it easy to refill the water tanks. The campground is located on the Mississippi River and the Main Line of the BNSF Railway runs very close by. It is a busy railroad and trains run all night, however, that is why we camped at this campground. You get used to the trains after a while. The Golden Age Passport can be used that will get you a 50% discount. The Park Attendant is friendly. We will return in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
