For a different type of camping experience, why not try the Fairport Recreation Area Campground. Fairport is located right on the Mississippi River and the campground offers campsites with electrical hook-ups, modern restroom and shower facilities, as well as a trailer dump station.
There are two boat ramps available at the Fairport area and provide plenty of boating access to the "Father of Waters." There are also courtesy docks for loading and unloading boats.
