Shady Creek is a well-maintained campground along the Mississippi River, offering spacious, level concrete sites and a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation. Many visitors appreciate the friendly staff, clean facilities, and scenic views, as well as the proximity to local attractions like Wildcat Den State Park. While some noted issues with bathroom maintenance and nearby train noise, the overall experience is positive, making it a favored spot for short getaways.

Great stay. The thing I would like to see changed is the stay should be 14 days in a 28 day period not 30 day period. I camp for about 5 months through the summer between Shady Creek and Clark’s Landing. I always have to find a different campground for a few days a couple of times throughout the summer.

From Davenport, Iowa, drive west on Highway 22 about 17 mi and turn at the Shady Creek sign.
Shady Creek is accessible via Highway 22, which connects to major roads in the region.
