The park has a pretty lake and a nice walking path. It's a paved path to walk on with some shady spots but mostly in the sun. It was pretty good for taking pictures except for all the houses on the north side.

We enjoyed a pleasant walk around the lake a few days ago. It was fun to see so many geese on the water.

Nice little quiet RV and City Park. We camped for a week during the Miss Missouri Pageant. It had electric hook ups but no sewer. There is a place on site to fill your fresh water tank and dump your black water. Nice walking/bicycle path around the small lake. We would definetly stay here again if we come through again.

Wonderful and affordable place to rv camp. There is only electric available, but the cost is only $10 per night with a 14 day limit. Camp host is friendly and helpful. You are able to fish and kayak on the lake. Many fishing areas. Birdwatching and great area to walk the dog.

Excellent little park with a brand new playground for the kids. There is a hiking trail that surrounds the lake and is a great place to walk your dog or ride a bike. There are several picnic shelters and many picnic tables and benches spread throughout the park. There are several RV camp sites on the camp grounds. Fishing can be done in the park from the shore or a boat can be taken out on the lake.
