What Guests Are Saying
Clark's Ferry is a well-maintained campground with clean facilities and beautiful views of the Mississippi River, making it a pleasant destination for camping and boating. The hosts are friendly and helpful, adding to the welcoming atmosphere, while the campground offers ample shade and spacious sites. However, the proximity to railroad tracks results in frequent train noise, which may be disruptive for some visitors.

The campgrounds were well cared for as always. We didn’t see the Host but the volunteer was very friendly and helpful.

I will stay here again, From my spot next to the river I could watch the barges go by, The park was well mowed. The bathhouse was clean, spacious and had hot water for showers. My spot was easy to back into. There was no host during my stay but the county deputies made rounds often. It was quiet except when the trains passed by as they whistled at the crossings. A few miles SW is a state? park called Wildcat Den, with hiking trails to limestone hollows and creeks. The best part is that the 1850 original 3-story Grist Mill is open on the weekends for sure. With informative signage, Along this stretch of IA 22 is multiple miles of bike trails.

Upon arrival 50 amp service was not operating as it should. Spoke with park host and they had it fixed promptly. Park is nice small and quiet.

Great location to watch the Mississippi River. Very well kept campground, very good shower/bath buildings. Close enough to Davenport to sightsee, visit the locks and museum. There are trains that go by day and night but not often enough to be annoying.
