A good spot because it is close to the John Deere plants and the Pavilion. It is also on the Great River Bike Trail. A little noisy from the highway, but it can't be seen.

Only 19 miles to St Joesph. Nice level sites, some paved most are not. Very easy access. We take our bikes and this was a nice area to bike. Check out the overview of the lake. Missouri State Parks are always nice.

Another one of Missouri's very good State Parks. Unfortunately it is relatively close to I-70 but the noise is not bad in summer. Campsites are relatively close together, more so than many other state parks.

Great view of Lake, campsites fairly tight together. The signage for directions within the campground needs improvement.

Super place if you are just traveling through and need to stop or if you are heading to the casino. Otherwise pretty plain and next to a big Dairy plant in an industrial park. WIFI would cost another 5 or 6 bucks.

Stayed here to visit the Soudan Mines. That rates a 10, especially the physics tour. Campsite we were at had cigarette butts and smaller trash around.

Campsite opens May 5th. Water was not on yet.

Well kept up, good hookups, but very busy Highway 11 runs in front. Other wise it would be an 8.

Busy place, 3 choices of location, on the lake, in the pines or in the open area. We stayed here and saw the final parade for Tulip Fest. That was well worth the stay.

We hate to give this beautiful campground such a low rating, but until the electrical problems are sorted out we have no choice. We stayed at F1 and the ground fault protectors kept tripping. One of the hosts said that whenever it rains a lot, and it had, the ground faults trip. He gave me a plug for 20 Amp with the ground knocked out and it worked for about 2 hours and then it began tripping again even with only the main on the 5ver plugged in. We basically wound up boondocking here.

It is within an easy drive of the Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Water access was a little difficult. Campground is nice, but the surrounding area was terrific. Grounds are within a nice drive to Gettysburg.

It is just a place to stay while on the road. We used it as a base to visit Greenfield Village.

The signage for this park is really, really bad. We wanted only to stay one evening and the attendant sent us up the hill to the upper campsites, when one by the river was perfectly fine as all of these were open. We really needed to dump our tanks and the attendant said the dump station was at the top. When we left later we saw there was another about 300 feet away from the office. It was hidden by some parked cars. After looking at the map given to us we wound up headed down into the day only area. With some difficulty we managed to turn around, and get into the campgrounds. We were led to believe that there were a lot of open sites. NOPE. We finally got into a "pull through" that required 6 inches of blocking to level. When we left we had to back out because the exit area was washed out, and would have cause damage to the area under our pin. If we would have been directed to the sites on the river( they are not shown on the map) the score would have a 6 or 7. On the plus side it is a nice drive, especially down the River Road towards the Natural Bridge.

Nice out of the way State Park. There are no showers and only pit toilets. If you are looking for a nice quiet place with little frills, but with playground area, put this place on your list.

New owners May 1, 2009. The over all camp needs a lot of work. I am sure that given a year or two the owners will make it much nicer. The low rating is because there is a high percentage of year round campers. A 9 for the new owners enthusiasm.

There are only 24 electrical sites. The sites need some upgrading with additional gravel. The pads are OK, it is along side the RV and the picnic table that need the extra gravel. Trailers and 5vers over 30 feet need to be careful as to what site they get. Trees, signposts and a narrow road make for some difficulty in backing into some sites. If you are in the area more than a day do bike the Old Abe trail and plan on seeing the Chippewa Moraine Ice Age State Recreation Area.

A nice campground, and a good spot to see the Museum in Scott City about the surrounding area. Real nice personel there, and it has a map of the inland seas from when this area was under water. Plan on driving out to see Monument rocks. One of the showers are enclosed the other is open air.

There seemed to be as many camping in the Wal-mart a few blocks from here as there were here. There is not a lot of choices for campgrounds in the area. Friendly people, the level gravel sites are close together. This was a stop between Bents Fort, a must see, and the train ride at the Royal Gorge for us. There are reenactments in late Nov & Dec at the Fort.

Located on Lake Atwood, disappointedly dry and empty, This is an OK spot to stop for the night. You must get your key at the Conoco station to open the electrical box. We used it as a spot to check out the Arickee Breaks and some of the local museums with a 50 mile radius. Nice museum in town. Aberdeen Steak house open only on weekends.

Be careful if coming from the North through town, our GPS wanted us to route us under a bridge less than 10 ft high. The RedBuds were in full bloom and beautiful. The fishing is apparently very good here and in the area. The campsites are quite close so it gets a 7 instead of a nine.

Extensive updating roads and campsite surfaces were being done. Must see museums. We rode our bikes around the Fort area and it took almost 2 hours. Really great place for horse people.

Nice level. Cement pads, first come first served, very quiet, has a gate.

Lots of big cottonwoods for shade.

Nice park right next to golf course some highway noise can canoe the Boone River.

Camping in October means bring your own water and find someplace to dump as dump station is closed. Merrill is within biking range and some interesting places to see. You can fish either on the river or Lake Alexander.

There was WiFii, but the network settings were not right for my laptop, so it was not of any use. Other than most of the campsites being close, it was fine. I would stop again if passing through, but not to use it as a headquarters. There is a nice little walking path of 1/4 mile or more.

We would have preferred Custer State Park, but because of the Buffalo Roundup, that option was out. Good place as headquarters to get to all the parks in the area. Wi fi weak but ok, showers very clean and cheery.

We parked here because it was convenient and all utilities worked well.

This is the only place you can park, expensive comparatively, but thats what happens with a monopoly. Showed wi fi but could never hook up.

Friendly, cheerful, and helpful hosts. It was away from the Interstate which is why we chose it. Be sure to take the 136 exit and not the 135. There is a low underpass near downtown, so make sure you follow the truck route.

All amenities were cut off, no water, no wi-fi. I talked to people in Town and it about dies after Labor Day, I would have thought they would keep someone on staff. I would try the Red Trail Campsite after Labor Day.

Plenty of walking Trails and Biking Trails. We hiked and biked on the roadway even. Nice secluded and the St Croix is beautiful this time of year. Price includes a daily park fee.

Unfortunately we did not find the campsite, there were no road signs and Microsoft's Streets and Trips led us astray and tried to bring us in from the south. You need to come off Cty Rd 19 from the north. We feel so stupid now.

If you need an overnight stay off Hwy 2, this is ok. You are a block from the public library which has WiFi.

We spent 4 days here. We stayed here because it was the end of the Chippewa River Bike Trail which also meets the Cedar River trail so it was a good place to do so. Campsites are close together and are all back in, but lots of room to do so. Check out the historical museum and see the original court rooms. Read about the gunfight in 1881 and learn about the paddle wheels on the Chippewa. Unless you are just traveling through or intent on biking, this might not be the place for you.

Missouri State Parks are great places to stay. This one is no exception. Campground host were terrific. Make sure you tour the Watkins Mill and also hike the paved trail around the Lake. Make time to go to Excelsior Springs too. It is not far to travel back to Kansas City to see some things there too. The Arabia Steamship Museum is a must see and Harry Truman's Library is not far off the path either.

Full hookups or none. It was a quiet place, that will most likely fill up on the weekend. We stayed one night during the week. Some sites are reserve able.

This is a non reserve State Park about 30+ miles south west of Overland Park. We camped here and drove back and forth. It was a pleasant drive. The weekends are packed. Try the ribs at Hillsdale Bank BBQ. There are trails to walk or bike. After viewing the closeup campgrounds, we would stay here again. You will need a state park sticker, $4.50/ night or $24 annual.

A good place to park for the night. If you can get to East State Street, take a walk along it. There are some nice old homes along it with a paver in the side walk describing them and the date built.

Beautiful, newly redone, fees will be $20 in 2007. Great lake for fishing, but you will need a boat. Sites are all spacious with privacy because of the forest. Not far from the Wolf River, ideal for rafting and canoeing. We will go back with more family and stay a week. Not very busy after labor day. Maybe 20 or so sites with electrical. A few sites will take something bigger than 32 feet.

This is a heavily used campground being close to Madison. We had some trouble to find a spot for our 32 foot 5th wheel and tow vehicle. The ranger had a funny policy of find your site and then go back and see if it had been reserved. Not far from the Blue Mounds cave which is just ok, but do go see the Mustard Museum in Mt Hoerb, and the Artisian Gallery there. A trip to the Norweigian place is neat too. This campgrounds is a good place for smaller RVs and tents.

There are mountain type bike and hiking trails. Near but not part of Jubillee College, which is an interesting tour. We spent 3 days there and would stay again if in the area.

Good camping for big rigs, although not isolated. Nice hosts, but there is a train track that runs LOTS of trains late afternoon through the night. Because of that we will not stay again. It is beautiful country and a nice trip to Galena and Southeastern Wisconsin.

You will need a state park sticker, daily or annual. To reserve it on line will cost another $8.50. If you are a history buff then this is a nice place to stop and learn about the Sioux upraising. Campsites are in a bit of valley so it is a bit darker. Nice tree lined sites.

You need a state park sticker and to reserve on line will cost another $8.50. Great place to hike and bike. Lots of open space and birds. Former home of author Fredrick Mannfred is located on south side of this 1500+ acre park. Swimming hole, and buffalo herd is also here. It is not far from the Jeffery Petrographs (30 miles). Would stay again if traveling this direction. Not far from Gariston SD where Jesse James is supposed to have jumped the Rock River on horseback.

Good spot to stop if late during the day and traveling through. We will use it again just to get off the road. Open sites that are very easy to get into. I wish more small towns would have sites like this for the passerby.
