Site 6 - Harbor Bar, restaurant, marina,
Great but flooding, noise possible
Booking was easy with great communication and flexibility. It's across the parking lot from a local/popular Reggae marina bar/restaurant so a very short drive, bike ride, or decent walk to downtown Red Wing. Very nice staff and shower behind the bar/up some stairs in back was nice. Can also fill up water in laundry tub.
As other reviewers noted there aren't really designated sites. There were 4-5 longer-term trailer/RVs away from the water so there was really just one viable spot though it had a beautiful view right on the water. The shoreline was 10 ft more inland due to heavy rains. Not the site/owner's fault - just check ahead. There are more potential spots further in but you could get blocked in. Fine if you have two groups.
The noise at night can be quite loud as they love their music - it's not obnoxious but bring plugs just in case. The train also goes right past the other side of the river and BLASTS the horn multiple times - felt like hourly through the night.
If you want a spot next to a cool bar/restaurant and don't mind a little noise, it's a great deal. If you are dreaming of a more serene camping site, it may not be for you.

Great blues band at Harbor Bar !
I got to hear a great blues band the evening I camped here, sound really carries on the river. A nice spot on the river to relax and watch the boats go by!

Pleasant stay
Decent spot, right along the river. Harbor Bar is walking distance and convenient for food and drinks.

Harbor Bar, restaurant, marina,
Not private, uncomfortable
Campsites were not defined, a dried mudpit took up most of the general designated area, or you had to be right next to the bar’s parking lot. Multiple times people from the bar or different sites wandered into our campsite at night as the bar closed (even though we chose a location as out of the way as we could) one even trying to flirt with the women at our site which was very uncomfortable for them. Nearby houseboats played music and were loud until midnight. Because the sites were not dedicated, no campfire pits easily available (we found one in the morning that a different tent had claimed). Overall uncomfortable and unexpectedly unenjoyable.

Harbor Bar, restaurant, marina,
Nice location, a bit loud
Great location on the Mississippi River with a large bar and grill next store. Many places to pitch a tent in the shade. The only drawback is the train across the river. It comes many times, day and night, and blows a loud horn.

Harbor Bar, restaurant, marina,
Campsites are not maintained well. States bathrooms and showers are available but had to ask several people for the location.
Noisy at night with fireworks and music.
Ad states the tent space is set with wood chips. They are not. Most are on dry cracked mud.
Ad states there are six tent sites. There are no labels.
I was in a schedule pinch to take my grandson camping.
