About Rustic Campground
Natural Features and SceneryFlandrau State Park lies along the Cottonwood River and includes riverbottom forest, marshes, and open grasslands near the edge of town.[5][2] Campers mention the park as “beautiful,” “lovely,” and “really beautiful,” noting shady areas and a green valley setting.[1][2] Trails lead to an overlook with views over the river valley, and there is a distinctive sand‑bottom, filtered swimming pond set in a wooded bowl that many reviewers highlight as a special feature.[1][3]

Good to know
Common complaints• **Lack of privacy / open sites:** Several reviewers say rustic sites are very open, with little screening; campers looking for seclusion may be disappointed.[1][3]
• **Crowded feel in electric loop:** Even campers who chose rustic complain that the electric loop felt like “condo central,” with small, densely packed sites and sprawling setups.[1]
• **Mosquitoes:** Multiple reviewers emphasize that mosquitoes can be overwhelming, making it hard to rest at the overlook or on trails without strong repellent.[1]
• **Bathroom and shower issues:** Some reviews mention cold shower water, bathrooms needing better cleaning, and poor exterior lighting timing.[1]
• **Park staff interactions:** A few guests report encounters with rangers or workers they considered rude or overly strict, particularly around rules and COVID‑era restrictions.[1]
• **Dog restrictions at pool:** At least one reviewer was frustrated by enforcement of the no‑dogs rule in and near the pool area.[1]
• **In‑town biking experience:** One camper notes that bike routes from the park require crossing busy streets and passing through an industrial area, which felt unsafe and unappealing.[1]
