Camp Nauvoo

Big rig friendly rv park close to all things Nauvoo. Reasonable price and a great host (Dawn). The spots are a little close together but we didn't mind. Pull through cement pad long enough for our 42' 5th wheel and truck. We stayed a week. Will be back!

Spent last night tent camping at this location. First, the tent sites aren't actually sites. It's just grass. And it's all on a slope, so you'll slide down during the night. But they are nicely shaded! The sites we were at had electrical boxes, but we didn't use them so no comment there. It did have a charcoal grill, which we used as a tiny table since there are ZERO tables at any of the sites. Made dinner fun. Also, watch for mosquitoes and poison ivy. They do have a spigot with cool, decent water for drinking. And we didn't think the bathrooms were awful. Not hotel quality, but pretty standard for a youth camp site. Plenty of really hot water for the showers, which is what I cared about. There's also a store with snacks and ice, just not sure what the hours are. Our real complaint is a

We came out from California on motorcycles to see the Joseph Smith Historic Site and wanted to camp. I found this site in the planning stages of our trip and was happy that they welcomed folks from out of town. Very nice staff. Great price for a basic cabin with much appreciated cold air-conditioning in the summer humidity. A lovely location in the woods with hot showers and clean restrooms. We were happy campers.

A little dated, great kitchen facility for large groups. Cabins needed to be cleaned when we got there, and there were a few scheduling conflicts when we showed up - others being there when we had booked the whole place. Dawn was great to refill soap and other necessities when we needed it. If you're looking at this for church youth groups it doesn't quite work out to be in line with the youth protection requirements. For a family reunion it would probably be fine.

Don the host is nice. Location is excellent. Place is a mess. We stayed in the retreat house which is not fit for human occupancy. Floor is buckled and dangerous. Master bedroom electrical is via an extension cord from the bathroom. Dryer does not work. Bathroom floor is a collection of mats covering who knows what. Entire house smells of mold. Bath towels are what we use for car wash towels. Sheets are what we use for paint drop cloths. AC only on one wall as far from bedrooms as possible. In the real estate world you would say this place has had a lot of differed Maintenace, which is to say it has had none. Do not put your family in this place
