The campground was very nice BUT the railroad tracks with crossing was too close. Trains all evening/night. When two trains went by at 6:30 blowing their horns we decided not to stay our scheduled second night. Maybe it would be better if we had been camping at the far end of the campground but access to showers were important to us.

5- star location. 3- star due to trains running near park throughout the night.

I want to be clear the only reason I took it down a notch is to draw attention to the fact that if you're camping here you have to be prepared to listen to trains going by right next to the campground at multiple times during the day and night. Otherwise it's a very nice facility and well maintained with a beautiful view of the river. It was a great stop on our way back home to Indiana. And if you get a chance to go to the Potosi Restaurant and Brewery please give that a shot as it was very wonderful surprise as well.

What a fantastic spot on our route! Nice clean level sites. Everything worked as expected. Helpful checkin and staff. Calm, quiet vibe in the campground. Nice view of the river, but no real access with the shoreline (which is totally fine - glad to let it go natural!). Some pesky flies in the campsite, but eh, that's camping! We will definitely visit again and mark this as a nice overnight spot.

A very nice campground. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Lots of trains, but not too bad at night. A big plus was being close to Potosi Brewing!

What an awesome place! We loved everything about it, even the trains (childhood memories) The view, the level paved site, the friendly atmosphere, welcoming camp host, cleanliness...all of it was a great experience. It was a happy pit stop on the way to see our daughter in Minnesota, so we only stayed one night, but we will definitely be back.

Grant River Recreation Area offers a well-shaded campground with most of the sites offering a view of the mighty Mississippi. The original reservation we had was the end of May into June, but unfortunately the river was flooding, so we moved our reservation to about a month later. By that time, the clean-up crew had done an excellent job getting the campground cleaned up and back in business. In fact everything about this campground is well maintained, including the restrooms/showers. I especially appreciate the ceiling fans in the restrooms which keep them drier and cleaner during the humid days of summer. Nearby the campground is the little town of Potosi, home of the Potosi Brewery and Museum. A wonderful place to relax (outside on the patio if the weather's good, or indoors, otherwise), have a beer(s) with a very good lunch and supper menu, and on Sundays during the summer and early fall, they offer breakfast. Across the street from the brewery is a wine shop, a smaller bar (very cute, as well) and a large event center which is often booked for weddings, parties, or area occasions. The area surrounding Potosi consists of lovely, wooded hills, deep valleys, and is part of the Great River Road Scenic Byway. There's so many interesting sights nearby that I can't list them all, but I recommend the trip to everyone who enjoys beautiful scenery with lots of opportunities to stop often for a closer look.
