This is a beautiful campground in a forested setting. All sites are "electric only" but the power is solid and water and dump are available on site. This area is very quiet and makes a great overnight stop when traveling east/west along US36/I-72 corridor which we find to be a good alternative to I-70 which traverses many more large metro areas. Verizon and AT&T cell data service were quite good (VZ better than AT&T.) Many/most sites will accommodate larger rigs but be aware that front to back leveling a longer motor home can be a challenge in this campground. Unfortunately the reservation system does not address this so if you make a reservation it's going to be hit or miss (FYI, our site #38 is OK for a long rig.) We were lucky that when we arrived there were plenty of available sites from which to choose. Had we made a reservation "blindly" we might have ended up in a site where leveling a 38 foot motor home would be impossible.

By chance we did run into a ranger after our first night so we could let someone know we had switched sites to be closer to the bath house. We didn’t spend any time there as we spent our time touring Hannibal, which was our reason for being in the area.

Very nice campground. Good spacing between sites with trees and some bushes, so very private sites. Lake seems to have a non-developed shoreline, so campsites are on the hill and cannot see lake from campsites. We're here in the 1st part of October and there is only one other campsite in use.

Very nice campground. Good spacing between sites with trees and some bushes, so very private sites. Lake seems to have a non-developed shoreline, so campsites are on the hill and cannot see lake from campsites. We're here in the 1st part of October and there is only one other campsite in use. Several of the other loops were closed off and there was no attendant or campground host. Several of the campsites are reserved for this weekend, but virtually empty during this week.

“Great Park”

Another example of a great Corp of Engineer’s Recreation Area. We only paid $9 per night with Seniors Pass. 30amp electricity. Large paved sites will handle any size rig. Clean restrooms with showers. Looks like it could be busy on the weekends. We are here on a weekday in late September and only have one other camper.
