What Guests Are Saying
Thomson Causeway is praised for its beautiful riverside camping, clean facilities, and friendly staff, making it a favorite among visitors. Campers appreciate the spacious concrete pads, proximity to nature, and stunning sunsets over the Mississippi River. While some concerns were raised about noise from barking dogs and a less-than-friendly host, the overall experience is highly positive, with many planning to return.

Was during the weekdays and wonderful. Quiet well kept park. Thursday and Friday the weekenders started moving in and the dogs. This a big problem in a lot of places! The owners have no respect for other just like the smokers used to be. Dogs barking and owners not keeping them quite! Have been to a few parks where no dogs allowed and it is pure Bliss! This is our tax dollars and we should be able to injoy it instead of feeling like your in a dog park!

We were in the High Point loop. Nice view of the widest point of the entire Mississippi Rv. (3 Miles across). Sites are very well manicured and maintained. Easy travel distance to Savanna, Illinois and Clinton, Iowa and all points north or south. Easy access to long bike trails and or boat launch for kayaking and canoeing.

It was a great site. The marsh was neat to observe. The Sandhill cranes were active. The shower house was always clean. Lastly, the storm came a cleanup hopped quickly and proficiently. We will be back!

I fish the River once a year and camp at the Causeway Campground. The camp hostess is very friendly and helpful, the grounds are always clean and well maintained. The other campers are always friendly and courteous, I look forward to returning every year!

Green, peaceful, clean campground with roomy sites. Gathering to watch the sun set on the herons and pelicans was great! Mosquitoes were ferocious.
