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.

Always love Thomson Causeway. Our site unfortunately had a power box that wasn’t working but they were able to move us to a site that was even better. No complaints. We’ll be back. One of our all time favorite campgrounds.

We always meet the nicest people here! Beautiful views. The Rangers and staff are always so helpful and knowledgeable. Sunsets are the best, river traffic is fun to watch, wild life is abundant (I mean the natural kind - not the party kind - ha ha). The campground is quiet and well kept, the hosts are great. No complaints and we stay here several times a year.

Fire pits do not get cleaned. Many low branches over roadways and sites. Dead trees dropping branches near and on sites.

Please change your check out time to 1:00. 4:00 is WAY to late. Talked to many campers and 95% also wished it was earlier. Seen MANY campers sitting and waiting for their spot to open up. 4:00 is to late to start setting camp up after you have paid for that spot..thank you. Again, please consider this, as we LOVE THOMPSON CAUSEWAY!
