Prophetstown State Park

We enjoyed our stay. The water park is very fun. Great for kids, up to about 15, 16yrs old. Then they might be bored. The park is amazingly big! It was too hot or rainy for us to do trails. Fishing pond looked weed covered so we didn't get in any fishing there. The Native American Village is just sad. We understand preservation and restoration is costly and time consuming. However this part should remain listed as "a work in progress " until they do more with it. A couple buildings with nothing in them, a "meeting hall" with log seats falling apart and holes in walls was not what we expected. The Farm was very nice. The volunteers here were helpful and nice. They take great care of all the animals and really have a lot of information on them and the buildings. We were disappointed with the Footprints in History. Again, here, lack of care for the grounds is the biggest issue. The campsites are all gravel for your tent or trailer. Though we were told our site would fit our trailer and vehicle it was too short. Many sites were too short for travel trailers and a truck. They are very private in the front of the park where there is old growth. In the back the trees have not quite grown in so they are still pretty open. The bathhouse appeared clean until we got into the showers. The curtains were covered in mold and mildew. We did report this to the camp host. The camp as a whole is very quiet! Almost too quiet. It has nice playgrounds, the sites are well cleaned, as well as the firepits, and what trails we dis try were clear and nice. We will likely go back, just keeping in mind site selection.
