Hi there Joe, Well we made the trip and stayed at Fishermans Corner May 26-30.
Nice campground and yes the sites 1-26 or something like that gives the better view of the river.
We were in site #37 and it was close to the hyway but it was not an issue unless you need total quiet! Sites have cement pads and basically level. We ended up in a tight spot with our neighbor but neither of us was interested in a camp fire.
Park is friendly and clean restrooms!
Don't expect much television, we got 2 channels over the air and the Dish tailgator couldn't find a signal! It is possible to get a signal in various spots in the park but it is reasonable well shaded!
I told my wife on Sunday while we just chilled out and rested for our Monday trip home that if I was to rate the park on a scale of 1-10 and 10 being best, I would give it somewhere between a 4 and 6! I would recommend this park however as it is close to some venues that are worth checking out. Don't be too excited by the American Pickers Museum. I love antiques and so does the wife but it was not what she expected and we were told that this would be the reaction but I closed my ears to other personal reviews and went to it and enjoyed the walk thru the museum. We found the Buffalo Bill museum worth the 5.00 per person.
A little research and you can find plenty of day trips if you want to sight see from the Park! Railroad tracks are close but I observed only 1 train going and 1 returning the next day and no long loud whistles!
