Woke up to a gorgeous morning with the birds singing, small rabbits hopping around, etc. One of my kids wandered a little far for my liking while he took photos. Some locals said you really had to watch out for the ability to sink down and get stuck in the mud, so they helped look for him when he didn't come back to the campsite on-time. Turns out he was fine -- just lost track of time having fun exploring. :)

This is a quiet lake with no business or houses on it. There is a campground that looks nice. We drove through but didn't camp, so can't rate that part. Would like to take our boat back again sometime!

The A campground has a shower house and B does not and is further within the park. There is also tent camping further inside B. It's quiet. It's serene. The color changes were beautiful everywhere. We came late and the campground host came around the next morning and wanted to check us in of course. We obliged and were left to it. There are trails. There is massive fishing. If you want quiet camping. This is it.

I parked the van, microwaved my leftovers from https://www.yelp.com/biz/charlie-parkers-springfield?hrid=NVt6kNo1o5xXECTgeE24jg and brought them to one of the picnic tables where I looked out over the Mighty Mississippi River. It was near perfect. It's a big park with a windy road that takes you to the various overlooks and parking areas. I think there's a bathroom here and they might have some more picnic spots. It was a great view and I'm glad I spotted the sign out front! [Review 19720 overall - 198 in Missouri - 692 of 2023.]

We were served 2 small rolls that were either stale or frozen - I love fresh rolls, theses were not, almost had to choke them down. Ordered breaded mushrooms that were machine made and so hard you could not put a fork in them. If you managed, they broke open to reveal perhaps a piece of mushroom stem, and a lot of air inside. I had the beef tips over rice which was only warm due to the hot gravy they doused everything in. No choice on rare/medium/well on the tips - which makes sense if they were packaged. Prices on web site are lower than menu. Caesar salad barely qualified (+$2 premium over garden salad) - just lettuce, dressing, and a bit of grated cheese. Waitress was pushy both before ordering and during the meal (halfway through she offered us the desert menu and after we declined informed us she would get the check - while we were still eating!). Overall very disappointed. Wife and I sighed and paid our $75 bill + a basic tip. Doubt we will ever go back.

I happened upon the park during a Summer Saturday during the farmers market and it was energetic.

A great little green space to anchor this quaint river town.
