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.

Beautiful smaller COE campgrounds. A quiet area to watch the river and a few barges. A few trains, but to be expected along the river road edge. Host was friendly. Bathrooms and showers were very nice.

We will be back when we are in thearea.

Sad to see the Mississippi so low and the camper using water like it doesn't matter.😏

Nice campground. The only issue, I unknowingly selected online a site right in front of railroad tracks and the trains ran all day and all night. Lessons learned.
