Family Camping on the Mississippi River

River days are the best days. Splash near the shore, fish with the little ones, or just skip rocks until the sun goes down.
The Mississippi gives families space to laugh, play, and slow down—because the best memories are made with bare feet and muddy hands.

“We have a permanent spot here!”

“We have a permanent spot here and absolutely love it for our family. It is close to the Mississippi if you want to get on the water and there are some decent fishing spots within walking distance. They have a great pool with a wading pool for the littles, mini golf, yard games including a giant chessboard, several playground spaces, a Snack Shack near the pool The lodge has fun gifts, sweatshirts, shirts, hats and more. Food trucks come down on the weekends...it is just such a fun place to spend our summer and early fall nights. Highly recommend spending a weekend here or getting a permanent site!”

“I can't say enough great things about this place!”

“This place is the best campground we've ever been to. The kids were never bored! Constant activities for the kids and the people who own it and run it are sooooo incredibly kind. They truly want you to have a great time. We rented a tent site and they are huge!! Two ten person tents, a 19 foot boat, and still had ample room for the kids to play. I can't say enough great things about this place!”
