We enjoyed the campground and explored the area including the rolling hill communities.
Supper Club dining and cheese sampling are both great Wisconsin experiences.
The entire Corp park is clean and our camp pad was easy to level the RV. 50amp power was very nice. Be sure to bring lots of water with you.
The dump is near the park entrance and has potable water. Easy to dump coming in and leaving.
The sites are close together so review the map carefully when you select a site.
For first time visitors the route takes you by homes, a private park for trailers, perhaps a county park too, all before getting to the CoE Rec area.
1/2 price for seniors with a pass, yay!
We enjoyed the adventure!

Park was full when we stayed. Cell service is 3 plus bars with AT&T and Verizon.

We stayed in site 40 on the upper west loop. The road is paved In this loop and the site pads are gravel and mostly level. Our site was very long, wide and spacious with close access to the Mississippi River!
There’s a bathroom and water spigot right next to this site as well, which was convenient. Only bit of annoyance was an electrical pole in our direct view which also has a bright light that shined into our trailer at night. That seemed to only be an issue for our site which was at the end of the row. Middle sites along the River shouldn’t have this issue.
Cell service for my AT&T device worked great! My partner’s Verizon device however did not! Also, Sprint/T-Mobile appears to have no service at all in the area.
As other reviewers have mentioned, there are no full grocery stores nearby. There is an Arco gas station about 7 minutes south that has firewood and basic convenience foods and beverage. A little farther down the road another gas station has a slightly wider selection of foods and decent selection of Wisconsin cheeses!
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would love to come back if ever in the area!

Our site backed up to the river and was very spacious! Great access for kayaks from your site. The Upper loop is all gravel and floods easily. The West Loop is paved and nicer. We did not use the bathroom facilities while here. You are approximately 45 minutes from a major town, so bring what you need.

US Army Corp of Engineer campgrounds rarely disappoint and this one fit our needs! Our site was a back in with a great view of the Mississippi River. Only electric - no water or sewer hook ups. There is a water spigot to fill up your tank and a dump station. The sites are well spaced, some with trees and a bath house that we did not use. The campground is between a busy railroad line and the river with lots of barge traffic but surprisingly it was not noisy. The closest town is very small but you can cross the river into Iowa and there is a slightly larger city. I would recommend bringing any food you will need with you. There is a Lock & Dam station not far and it was a great place to visit and watch how the barges enter into the Lock.

The park is well maintained with large rv sites. The upper area has gravel sites while the lower area has some paved. Lower area is close to only showers on property. Mississippi river flows right next to campground..plenty of people were fishing both on and off shore. Some sites receivable, some walk up only. Great park.

What a gem. Great view of the river at sunset. Friendly and helpful staff. I am becoming a fan of COE parks. Very clean. Showers very nice.Easy back in site for our Winnebago View. Would like to have stayed longer and recon the area but had to move on to visit family in Wisconsin.

Well paved road into Park takes you through a permanent trailer park that surely floods out each year. This is a fishing/hunting camp. Continue down the road into the usual well maintained and very nice COE C/G that has two sections. The older section is right on the river under tall Cottonwood trees. The newer sunnier C/G is across from the boat launch and on a navigatable backwater where you can keep your launched boat.
Site pads are gravel, grass around the sites can be spotty if there was a large spring flood. Elec. at sites, water nearby, good double dump station at gate exit. There is a tent section that might be available to boondockers at a better price. Fire rings and tables are at the sites. Wood, bait and food necessities within walking distance in private section.
Beautiful location on the Great River in the heart of River Bluff Country. It is a short drive to a larger city of LaCrosse, WI. or Winona, MN. Many picturesque small towns in the river hills nearby WI. MN and IA. Good eating, antiquing and vineyards are starting to spring up.
