This place was full of music and drunks. People kept walking through my campsite. Looking in my camper! Someone walked by my window after darks and yelled they liked my set up. One drunk actually parked in the road and walked into my campsite to see what I was cooking. The sites are on top of each other. This place needs managed. This is the worst state park I have ever stayed at.

I don't know why every time we come here, there's literally poop somewhere. Whether it's on the trash can or wiped on the walls, in either the men's or women's restroom. I came out the bathroom to 2 workers reading a bacteria water paper taped to the restroom doors. They swept everything on the floor and pushed it outside to the entrance so if was full of trash. They never actually clean the toilets or the bathroom. There's always gross stuff stuck to the seats.

Small, friendly, close together spots. Tent side camping next to river, electric sites across from tent sites in center. Two sites share one electric pole...two plugs one pole lol...33 & 34 have the same pole, 35 & 36 share, etc. It made for interesting hookup since our plug was on the wrong side of our trailer. Still, quiet, not very overly populated, very pleasant.

I have been coming here for over 50 years. The 4th of July use to be the place to be. People would come from all over and the park would be full. Live music would be set up in the back by the tree line with thousands of people listening. Now it was up at the road in the blazing sun with maybe 50 people. Food trucks weren't allowed in unless they get a commission. It's not maintained like it was. Weeds line the river front. Fallen trees left. Fire pits not cleaned out. Out houses rotting away. Power service needs updated. 5 street light have been out for at least 3 years. It is too be full on the weekends with campers and tents. Lucky to see 4 campers during the week. A once beautiful park fading away. The host, Colleen, and Bill are the best part of the park.

Great Vintage feel to this Park with a Native American History. $10 Campsites on the Rock River, shower house, water hydrants, playground, picnic shelter, and friendly campground hosts!
