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.

First time campers so nothing to compare to. Very quiet and peaceful campground. Clean bathrooms. Two small playgrounds with volleyball/grass area. Train came by once through the night and was not an issue. We explored wild cat den during the day and it was very nice to be close by after.

Nice place, very clean, nice concrete sites, views of the river very nice, most of the site are shaded. My only complaint was the noise from the trains, very close to the campground.
