Great River Bluffs State Park in de Verenigde Staten

Stayed here once several years back. It is located on top of a river bluff, basic dirt and gravel pull out spaces at the end of a twisting road up. I think a person would be OK with a 30' max trailer, but would have to be fully self contained. No services up here. If the weather is good, this would be a spectacular stop. I will attempt to get photos the summer of 2015. Access to the road up is off I-90 on the westbound lane without much warning. Road up is gravel and dirt as I recall and I wouldn't try it in anything other than dry conditions. Many switchbacks on one of Minnesota's rare mountains.

We decided to stay there one night during a road trip precisely because it was supposed to have bathrooms and showers. Well, they were under construction so no access to anything other than one vault toilet. There wasn’t even any potable water available (no water coming out) even though it was supposed to have it. In other parks, they usually disclose when their services are not available.

We camped in a 24 foot trailer. The staff were really nice and helpful. This is a Friday night, so she gave us the only free campsite left, at noon! Leaf peepers! Although, compared to northern Wisconsin, there wasn’t much color. Our campsite was nonelectric. The distance between sites is substantial, so it felt pretty private. Once the leaves are gone, probably not so much. It’s been so cold, the non heated bathrooms were not appealing enough to take showers. The outhouses were clean and no odor at all in cold weather. The tiny bathroom was packed, so did not use it! The trails here are beautiful, with great views. The campground is up on top of a Bluff. No views from the campground. Nice and quiet!

This is a small park with only 32 primitive sites. Both the access road and most of the sites are not trimmed well enough for RV access - we had difficulty getting our 12' high rig in. Many of the sites are also small & were clearly designed with tent campers in mind. The park has some pretty hiking trails - especially the one along the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. There is a single bathhouse and a single potable water spigot, but you'll need a long hose to reach it if you're in an RV. There is no dump station.
