Reviews
"The boat ramp/put-in is a pocket along the River free of industry and signs of civilization. I recommend this spot for one of the best sunrises along the Mississippi I've yet seen."
"We stayed here due to other campsites being completely full. it was nice, no one else was there, and it was a fairly private area, BUT, the area was infested with Chiggers, and the mosquitoes and other bugs were horrible. this spot is very close to the Mississippi river which caused a lot more bugs than you would see at a different campsite. if these campgrounds had more amenities i would probably stay there again, but the bugs and chiggers were horrible and we all got bit up horribly. we paid for 2 nights, and ended up staying only 1 night and left at 12am due to the bugs and horrendous heat. we were sleeping in tents. highly recommend staying there mid fall, when it’s colder out. there wasn’t much at all for kids to do, no playgrounds, not much. if your kids get bored easily, i would take them to some place that has more amenities. this seems like more of a place for adults."
"Nice little off the beaten oath camp site with a great river access point (no boat ramp)."
"Located at Pagel Flaming Prairie Park. Great birding spot at the boat launch over the ridge, saw a pair of nesting eagles and a Great Blue Heron. Campground is very basic with electric hookup, grill, and tables."
