Nelson Dewey State Park — Attraction in Town of Cassville

We had booked a walk in campsite for 4 days and only ended up staying half of the time. Although the view is breathtaking, and the campsite is extremely quiet & peaceful, this is NOT the place to stay - especially if you are traveling more than an hour.

Bugs: The bugs were frustrating to deal with, (the mosquitoes were not horrible with bug spray), but the flies were irritating and would not go away no matter what we tried.

Snakes: There are snakes in which we found in the men/women's nicer bathrooms.

Mice: Lastly, as soon as it becomes dusk and the sunlight goes down. Don't be alarmed when you see mice scattering all throughout your site - and they are not afraid to come up nice and personal. Not only that, they would climb our tent when we were trying to sleep. How disgusting!

Train: This doesn't bug me as much, but there is a railroad track just below the campsite and the trains will come through all day and night.

The park itself can be explored in less than an hour, so make sure you have other things planned. Potosi Brewing company is near by, the Cassville pool, and the Wyalusing Beach are a few things near!

We love camping, and we're looking forward to this site. Once again, it has an amazing view. However, if you have a far drive, it is not worth coming all this way. This was just not the right fit for us despite how beautiful it is!

Good things: You can fit an 8 person tent in the walk in site, amazing view, grate on fire place, close walk to bathrooms, lots of privacy, extremely quiet, wood...

so we've gone through two storms here since Saturday night the 30th of June today's the 2nd of July we go through two major storms Grant county where we're at as a matter fact they were under a mudslide warning and we were to go tubing down the grant River and apparently that is overflowing on the roadside so the two bins out for the week they were supposed to get some more work rain here but for the most part Nelson Dewey State Park a beautiful State Park well maintained they have some nice bath houses for showers towns not that far away grocery stores good gas station one gas station I'm studying for an exam at the end of the month and so on our vacation here I'm I stop by their library and it's decent take your ear plugs if you need to study other than that really cool area we hear the trains once in awhile mainly at night there's also an overlock here on this park that overlooks Iowa Mississippi River Wisconsin so it's pretty...

Gorgeous place to go when the fall colors are starting to peak! We had a great time camping there with family on a family site. Some things to keep in mind. Be ready to work at leveling your camper. This is an average small state park campground with above average views. Smaller campsites that aren't the most level, but what can you expect being on top of a ridge top. We were the biggest unit up there at 36 feet long and (slide outs on both sided) 13.5 wide. We had to do some creative maneuvering and blocking to make it fit on our site but we got it in there. Bring lots of blocking. Some sites here are definitely pop up and tent size sites. Some backing in and down a slight slope. This isn't really a big rig, 40ft toy hauler, 5th wheel campground. Not saying that you can't, just say you're going to work for it if you do and some of those turns are very tight. Still we still had...
