Launch Virtual Tour →What campers say
Nelson Dewey State Park offers expansive bluff overlooks above the Mississippi, short, well-marked hiking loops, and several walk-in sites with scenic views. Campsites vary in size with gravel pads; some are uneven or tight for larger RVs. Facilities earn frequent praise for clean bathrooms and showers, clear drinking water, and convenient dump/water fill stations. On-site honor-system wood/ice and a 24/7 woodshed/vending option are handy. Expect a quiet setting popular for birding, but be aware occasional train noise and seasonally heavy insects—mosquitoes and flies—can affect comfort.
