I was a good park to go to and it had a lot of nice overlooks and where you can see the Mississippi River and Iowa and it was very scenic and with but it didn't have a lot of hiking trails and it's a good place to go.

Beautiful family friendly state park property. This property is large and loaded with scenic and recreational features. Hiking options are outstanding. Campground has hot showers and non campers can access the dump station for $5. Access to the park is fee free and day use only. I had 2 bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming throughout the park. Parking is limited and and larger rigs with trailers are not recommended.

A beautiful state park! We camped near a trailhead and enjoyed daily walks with the dogs. There are so many places to visit and explore. It's on our list for next summer.

We've been coming to the Palisades for decades! This park is beautiful! The lookouts are incredible! There's wheelchair access at one. The trails are amazing! Photo opportunities abound! Many restrooms and picnic areas! Very pet friendly. It's definitely a wonderful day to spend alone, on a first date, with a family or for a party!

This was my first time out at the Mississippi Palisades campground and I will definitely be back. The park is so picturesque and scenic. It's quiet. The sights are large and spacious. The can post were exceptionally friendly and very informative and helpful. Overall, definitely a 10-star weekend. You definitely don't want to miss this hidden gem.
