State Park campground electrical worked fine. Did not use water as it had a-lot of iron in it. Dumpster was full when we setup on Wednesday & Overflowing on Sunday when we left. Only 1 of 2 tank dumps was working….no flowing water at the dump site.

Nice quiet camp ground. Sites are not to close. There is poison ivy around so be careful. There are water spickets around. There is a boil order in effect. The water is brown and smells bad. The camp manager said the water is always brown. It stained toilet. We left after 2 days.

Has some great trails thru the park but Chute trail south of the boat ramp has so many downed trees you have to scramble over, around, or thru the downed trees. I couldn’t even tell where the actual trail went. Needs some trail maintenance.

Spacious camp sites with tent camping. Shallow part of the river that makes for snagless fishing and easy boat access ramp. We like how close to council bluffs it is. Bathrooms are clean.

I camped here the last weekend before they shut down for the season, so, it was full. Plenty of space for tent camping. Shower was good enough with perfect temp, for non adjustable. There is Magneese in the water, do not injest. This apparently causes yellow water stains. The toilets and sink look disgusting, but are probably as clean as they can get. I29 is near by with road construction. They work all night. Check that for next season. Plenty of hiking trails and DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge right there.
