The campground is very clean, quiet, and accommodating. Electric and water hookups at each site, and my site was close to the water, which was very relaxing. I loved my quiet, peaceful weekend!

Our campsite was wonderful! We had a site with a view of the Mississippi River. Nice to have water and electricity hook ups at the site. Clinton Iowa is a nice place to visit. We went golfing at The Sandburr in Thomson. Very nice course!

A nice very clean quiet campground. Mostly RVs, we camped at one of the five tent sites. Mississippi River is right in front of the tent sites.
Facilities were clean, volunteers on site. Mississippi palisades is down the road for hiking trails. There is access to a paved bike trail.
We will be back.
