We love to camp here but the campsite (26) has a yellow jacket nest and they swarmed our family Everytime we got out food or drinks. Flagged down the DNR boat to let them know but they didn't seem to care much.

Great place to camp Enjoy the things God created and be kind. Looking forward to camp this year lots of fun with friends. What more could you want ? Another great. camp trip to government landing. Great time. New reservations helps the fighting over sites. Limits. the ability to long term camp a bit. Many people want more than the weekend or 3 days. A lot of work to set up camp for a short time. Good to see kids and 👪 enjoying. Very quiet and enjoyable this year.

A tranquil place to park your r.v. or pitch a tent and fish too. I believe there were 5 camping spots all with river front access and a boat launch with plenty of parking and yes, an outhouse. First come first serve. However, if you're listening, hear this: from this access, there's miles of river with many peninsulas and some islands with posted rustic camping markers and fire rings. This is a place where people don't litter. This is a place for nice people that i may regret sharing; please...
