"Convenient one night stop"

Stopped for a night on a long trip. Surprisingly quiet. We had thought that noise from I-90 would be a an issue but we didn't hear a thing. It is over 2 miles south from the Interstate which adds to the quiet. Two loops, one nearer the river... Read more

Site #62 only one in south loop we could fit into with our 24 foot trailer. Fortunately, we were the only ones in the loop. Driveway is very narrow. $35 for dry camping is very high. Unfortunately, weather closed the Drury Pkwy and we couldn't... Read more
