pleasant stay on great river road journey north
Stayed 2 nights as first stop on our journey north on the great river road to the head waters in Itasca Minnesota. Pleasent pine wooded fairly level class A 30 amp site number 19 less than 60 feet from fresh water spigot. 10 minute setup and cooked foil wrap kielbasa, green bean, potato and onion fit for a first evening rest. Toured old Nauvoo settlement in Smartie as most buildings were closed due to Covid. Drove down and up the Illinois river road and crossed over to Fort Madison to get premium gas fill up (8 gal) for Smartie (only Regular or Diesel in Nauvoo) and a Subway sandwich in Fort Madison River Side Park where I marshalled in the 2009 Bassmasters Elite tournament. Headed north to Mississippi Palisades State Park.

24’ Class C RV site 30
Traveling down from Twin Cities to Shawnee Oak Point Campground and back again. Had a reservation on the way south. On the way north, we Called after 4:30 & left message saying we were planning on staying again in site 30. There was 1 or 2 other campers here when we arrived at 7:05 pm. Site was open for 2 nites before another reservation. Deer hunting season we think & duck too probably. Our rescue dog is frightened of gun shots, so she jumped in bed with us in the mornings and the brand new Maltipoo puppy found a good snuggle partner there. Shower house/restrooms were open & all was very clean!! Thank you Nauvoo!!!!

Quick get away
This is a convenient camping spot while traveling the Mississippi River Road. Large RV will test the driver's skills maneuvering the small roadways in the pine-forested park.
