Clarks Ferry

Great location for visiting Davenport.
Even had a view of the river.

We really enjoyed this COE despite the fact that our site was in full sun! There are some shaded sites, we just didn't get one! We were on site 30 and had electric. We filled up our tank with water when we arrived. There are some train horns, but not too terribly bad. There is a dump station. Hosts are great and very forthcoming with information. We had picnics at nearby Buffalo Shores and highly recommend. We also witnessed a baptism at Deep Lake Park. It was very nice! Incidentally, tornado sirens go off on Mondays at 11AM

It was great being on the Mississippi River!

NIce campground along the Mississippi. Quiet except for the very occasional train. Great hosts!

Very clean bathrooms, people were pleasant and friendly, fishing was great!!

We were hiking through the area, so we just stayed one night. Nice people.

Clean restrooms. However, the showers didn't work but one day in my 11 day stay. Before they quit working, the water pressure was a drip. Overall, the campground was well maintained. Don't buy your wood there; it is substandard wood. Jump on 22 and head towards Muscatine (west). There is a house on the right that has a stack of firewood for cheaper and you get more. It's a cash/honor box system there. I give less stars because of the train. The train track that is located 20 feet from the campground is highly active. There is a train that passes through every 35 minutes to an hour, 24 hours a day. It is near a crossing so it is blasting the horn every time. If you don't sleep deeply or have thin walls in your camper, be aware of this. Lots of flies at the camp site. Carry fly traps with you. I wouldn't do water sports in the river in front of this campground. The water has a sewage/septic smell to it; maybe from city waste just upriver.

Local stuff to do. Tavern 61 in Blue Grass Taco Tuesday is awesome. Davenport Farmer's Market was fun and had many items at reasonable pricing. Wildcat Den State Park is a must see. Cool trail with a cave. Tycoga Winery just north of Davenport was fun.

Great river view, wonderful hosts.

Great COE on the Mississippi. Too bad there aren’t any trails or hiking from the campground. Fun to watch the barges and white pelicans float by. Nice paved sites and roadways. They take great care of the grounds.

Site 10 is best for river view but has no shade. Nice concrete pads. Train rules next to CG frequently but you do get used to it. Camp hosts are present and congenial. Bath house is excellent with each of the 4 having a complete 3 pc bathroom with shower. Lockable door from outside. Every CG should have shower/bathrooms like this. Nothing directly in town. Blue Grass has small grocer. Everything else is in Davenport. Fun to go to Worlds Largest Truck Stop on nearby rt 80. Welhen we were there the Mayflied were swarming which was quite gross. Ypu need to clean them off your RV, awnings and vehicle so they don't bake on. CG is quiet and other campers respectful.

Starlink was just OK, not great at this location.
