We needed a campground located near the Mississippi Sandhill Crane NWR.
Shepard State Park offers water and 50 amp service, but no sewer hook up. It fit the bill nicely for a quick stop-over and is quite a bargain.
Our site was less than flat, with a steep drop off on the passenger side. It took a bit of finagling to attain level.
Site #24 gave us the most privacy we had anywhere on our trip. Campground layout is very generously spaced and heavily wooded.
The surrounding area is lovely, with plenty of walking trails and biking opportunities.
The upkeep here is not the greatest, and there are a number of sites occupied by people who are obviously down on their luck and living here full time, in some cases with entire families.
It is a sad thing to see. If you are disturbed by poverty, this might not be a good choice of campgrounds.
We will stay here again when we come back to do a proper visit of the refuge. All this Park needs is a little TLC.
