The state park hosts 77 campsites and four cabins in King Campground and is surrounded by several acres of habitat and woody vegetation. Dreckman says the park now has a total of 111 sites and 10 cabins. The cabin sites include three to four beds, tables, and benches completed with a picnic table, porch, and fire grate. Dreckman also notes the campsites are equipped with electrical hookups.
“The park offers a comfort station for our guests with showers and restrooms,” added Dreckman. Each campsite is spaced out with an average of 70 feet in length, and will now offer wifi in King Campground. “Camping at the Palisades is perfect for guests looking to get not too far out of the city, but just enough to see the stars and enjoy the peace and quiet,” shared Dreckman.
An important aspect of the campsites and cabins is that some are ADA-accessible. The expansion also included a dump station, additional river access, extra fishing spots, picnic stations, and more trails to traverse. It will also allow the park and its staff to expand their recreational opportunities by adding archery, a disc golf course, and kayak and canoe landing spots in the future.
