What Guests Are Saying
Clarks Ferry Campground offers a clean and well-maintained environment with friendly hosts and modern facilities, including large sites with great views of the Mississippi River.

However, some visitors note occasional train noise, which can be disruptive, especially at night.

Weather was PERFECT! Highs in low 70's, Lows in low 40's. Drizzle the morning we arrived and overcast the day we left Oct 11-21, 2021. good fellowship and many campfires with friends. Got some good exercise harvesting some downed branches cutting and splitting and biking with our two Shih-Poos on lead. A little too windy for a nice campfire the last evening so we ended up leaving some un-used firewood for the next weekend campers.

It is ALWAYS a great relaxing experience here. The hostess is the best and will do anything for you to make your stay enjoyable. Everyone who is near this area needs to camp here and experience the atmosphere!!

Our trailer sat 40 feet from a busy railroad. Now I love trains, the roar of the engine and the the whine of the wheels on he track. But the train horn blasting at the crossings at each end of the campground was more than we could handle. And it scared the hell out of the dog.
We spent one night then left.
As for the campground itself, itβs typical of ACOE. Site are level showers clean and the water hot. Play ground for the kids and a boat ramp for dad. This section of the Mississippi runs east-west so we had a great sun rise and sunset.
Minus the train horn it would have been a perfect stay.
I would recommend getting a site near the river and as far from the railroad as possible.
