Nice state park. Lots of hiking trails from campground. You can fish the Mississippi River from campsites. Bike trail was great, 7.5 miles to Baxter trail all paved and follows along river in the trees. Not much for kids to do with no playground observed. Electric sites are to close together with no privacy but non electric were separated by trees/shrubs. Bathrooms are older but were clean.

Went to the park early morning to do the hiking club trail. The confluence of the two rivers is wonderful. The highlight was seeing a black bear who the ranger told me was likely the resident male.

Recently had an amazing family camping trip here for the weekend. It was beautiful and so much fun for everyone. I booked spot #58, it was a good distance from the other campsites and allowed for more privacy, but had an outhouse close by. Will definitely be coming back soon and recommending to everyone!
