Beautiful campground, sites along the river. Quiet, lots of birds! The camp hosts and check in check out folks are very very kind!

This park sets the bar for all Corp of Engineer parks. We’ve never found another park that can hold a candle to the camping experience at Foscue. Bathhouses are always clean, sites are always immaculate, the hosts call to let you know your site is available. What more can you ask?

One of our favorite places. Quiet, big sites some on the river. Great place to walk and ride bikes.

Nice COE with full hook ups. Bathrooms showers clean. Staff friendly. You do get some noise from barges and trains occasionally going by. We had site on water front and enjoyed watching the barges. Nice walking and bike trails. Love 300 check out time .

We camped in the RV Campground. It's a Beautiful, well maintained park with some large full hookup sites on the water. The pads were concrete and ours had a patio. It's our second time staying here. @kampingwithkona
