Beautiful site on the Mississippi!
Beautiful Site on the Mississippi
It really is a "Beautiful Site on the Mississippi". It is set on a moderately high bluff overlooking the river, and has an adjacent site where you can put in with your canoe or kayak. The campsite itself has a large wooden platform (which was completed while I was there, so I did not use it), large enough for a very large tent plus a sitting area.. It was enjoyable watching the river traffic (small fishing and pleasure boats, and barge trains) flow past the campsite. The barges are somewhat noisy, and that initially bothered me, but it didn't take long to become accustomed to the sound to the point that it was barely noticeable. The site is rustic, with no electricity or running water, and a porta-potty down the hill. There is only one single site, so there is excellent privacy and solitude; and a separate site on the same property where the hosts have their own yurt. What truly made this campsite so good, however, was the hosts: Jodee, husband Steve, and mother Mary, all of whom were tremendously helpful, accommodating, welcoming, and friendly. A great camping experience. I WILL be back!
