I understand the water is still higher than before but the grass on the sights 114 and 118 is so tall. It hides the rocks of the shore, makes the sight much smaller (almost tight) and breeds flies and mosquitos. We were constantly spraying the air and ourselves with bug spray and still came home with 20-30 bites each. Was terrible. We all agreed that the tall grass didn't help. It blocks the views when sitting watching the sunset. We stayed at 114 a few weeks ago and thought the same and last week stayed in 118. Both need the tall grasses cut back. We camped here in 2020 & 2021 and loved it. Last year we couldn't due to some family health problems, so I was so looking forward to coming back in 2023. Booked 3 trips. We are currently here on trip 3 but I'm not sure it's my favorite anymore. Sorry, but it is so well maintained except for the river edge. REALLY needs some care on river edge. I wish the water was lower to use the little sand beach, but that's probably out of your control so that I can overlook. Thank you

We stayed for the first time at Thomson Causeway COE. The website was not in my opinion very accurate with a few things. First of all they make everything look spread out and it is just the opposite. The sites are very close. Also we spent time filling out fresh water tank at the dump/fill station only to find water hookup at our site 123. It also turned out this was a buddy site which was not disclosed during the booking process. This made for extremely tight sites and no real place to hang outside if we wanted too. Our site was right on the water but the views were completely blocked by trees with a lot of under growth. It would be great if the undergrowth was removed. The bugs were horrible. Mayflies and mosquitos would carry you away as soon as you opened the rv door. Needless to say we stayed inside all weekend.
The camp was clean and quiet and the dump station was also clean, but there really is nothing to do around the area, so if you cant sit outside and enjoy the view of the Mississippi then there really is nothing else to do.
We will not be going back. I hope all COE campgrounds are not like this. We camped at Thomson Causeway in a Travel Trailer.
