Wilson Island Recreation Area

Stayed overnight 9/13-9/14. Horrible smelling campground; the decomposing swamp next to the sites smelled awful! Showers and restrooms were dirty and overtaken by thousands of worms/centipedes. Mosquitoes were ruthless. The camp host was obviously at the end of his season as he/she did nothing. Firewood totes were empty. Our only saving grace was a DNR employee who brought us some wood so that we could at least try to smoke out the bugs.

Water was really rusty from iron. Lots of mosquito bites. Stayed in early August. would be great early or late season. was nice and quiet though. Was close to Omaha for a trip to the zoo.

Very nice campground, it was closed for several years do to the miss-management of the Missouri river by the upper river states. Many sites for tent and trailer. I'd like to see more trees separating the sites though.
