I was here the third weekend in October with my 3 granddaughters. I think the campground was mostly closed. No place for us to pay. Plenty of people using the boat launch, but no one camping except us. The water had been turned off, but electric hookup was still on. You can't get any closer to the Mississippi river than this. The views were stunning and we had a perfect camping experience replete with s'mores. Great American Pelicans and bald eagles gave us quite a show. It was a great place to use as a base to go explore the National Eagle Center and Lark Toys.
