What Guests Are Saying

Clark's Ferry Campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, friendly hosts, and beautiful views of the Mississippi River, making it a pleasant stay for visitors. The location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions like Wildcat Den State Park and offers a peaceful atmosphere, particularly during midweek. However, the proximity to active train tracks results in frequent noise, which may be a drawback for those sensitive to sound.

We loved staying there! Crew takes nice care of the campground. Like many of the financially strapped national campgrounds, they could use some money to rehab the washrooms. This was no reflection on the staff, it’s a reflection on Congress.
