Upper loop is dated, no showers. West loop is nice and modern. Day use area presents nicely.

Campsites with electric are good size. Campsites without electric are on a first come, first serve basis. A large loop provides lake side or river side camping. You can land your boat right by your campsite. Playground and swimming are also available. Very well kept Campground.

This is a great CG. Electric available. Dump and potable water. My only complaint is the sites are very close together. Be prepared to make friends or go off by yourself with no electricity.

Needed to get a National Parks “America The Beautiful” Annual Pass and didn’t want to risk not getting it by mail in time for an Upcoming trip. Drove from Oak Creek to De Soto to get one in person. Nice park and campground. If I was a camper, I would consider staying there.

This is a clean, well cared for campground. You can't beat COE parks for affordable camping. The park staff was very friendly and helpful also. The bathrooms were modern and clean. We loved it here! Note: there is high manganese levels in their water. There is a filter on one of the spigots but it would be best to arrive with plenty of your own drinking water.

My family and I have camped here for my entire life in both the permanent sites and all others. Great fishing with access from THREE boat landings!

Stop there on our fall road trip to use the rv dump and refill our fresh water tanks what would be a great park . What a great stop to spend a weekend along the river a gem.

We stayed in the west (newer) loop and is was very nice. These sites are designed for larger rigs with more space for parking and relaxing. There is a great restroom/shower building that is cleaned daily. There is a boat launch for both the river and Green Lake. AT&T cell service was good, but no wifi. This loop is more open than the older one, so not much for trees or shade other than the perimeter. No water at the sites, but you can fill on the way in at the very convenient dump station. There is also 1 spigot (that I know of) in the loop across from site 70, but beware, that water is a little yellow, rusty looking.
