30 primitive campsites (non-electric) along the Mississippi River with boat ramp access to the Mississippi River, hiking trails, bathroom & shower building, water access, and picnic area.
Camping at Loud Thunder is typically available from the first weekend in April through the last weekend in October as weather permits.
Facilities, grounds, and views were all excellent. The 1-star deduction was due to the lack of insect control. I came home with dozens upon dozens of bites and welts even with bug spray applied.
We love the Indian Meadows loop. Rustic camping, secluded from others yet access to hot showers! This campground is rarely full with lots of space.
We had a fantastic time camping here. Staff was friendly, the views were gorgeous, and other campers were friendly but we didn't see much of them once we were actually settled.
I love this park and campground. I've made several friends here from long distances. It's a hidden gem.
Usually peaceful and quiet, but you'll still have your loud party animals and campers with a ridiculous amount of LED lighting on. Makes for poor stargazing.
My only gripe is the terrible water on the property. I don't know what happened to it, but it has gotten sour and sulfurous in the past few years. I have to either carry all my water in from home or choose to sanitize my water system after each visit.
Many wonderful improvements to this park. If you haven't visited since 2020, stop in to see all the changes.
My favorite camping spots are White Oak and the Corral. Deer Haven has no shade at all. Will take years to get any shade over the campers. Indian Meadow would be my choice for tent camping. Nice, private, woodsy cutouts.
