GenieSummary

This campground is located on the banks of the Missouri River, just next to the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge. It is a great value state park with spacious, level gravel sites that can accommodate big rig vehicles and multiple slides. There are tall cottonwood trees throughout the park, providing some shade, and a volunteer campground host is always available to help. The nearby Visitors Center has a sunken paddleboat sternwheeler and the DeSoto Natl Wildlife Refuge is a great place to visit. The park is currently undergoing repairs from the flooding of 2019, but it is still a great spot for an overnight stay or a few days of relaxation. There is a community water outlet, but no water at the sites. 30 amp electric is available, but no 50 amp. There is a low background noise from a quarry, and the area is full but quiet. Mosquitoes can be a problem in the wetland, but there is a smoldering fire to help keep them away. Firewood is available but wet and rotten.
