Very good camping pads and facilities. River was high and the boat dock was not installed - had to launch and load
at another spot on the river.

Great bike riding trails from Beautiful Weed park in nearby Muscatine and from Credit Island in Davenport. Campsite right off the river for watching barges. Biting Gnats but no mosquitoes. 99% locals in campground, very friendly but don’t use leashes on their dogs.

We stayed at Shady Creek, outside of Muscatine,Iowa. The campground and shower buildings were very clean. We will be camping there quite a lot during the season. The camp host, Gina and her husband are fantastic. Some of the best hosts we have seen.

We camped at Shady Creek following a flood of the river and the campground was wet and very muddy. Dirt had actually been piled up around the sites and created a very muddy situation. Not sure how we would have found camping here in a dry time. The pads were concrete but we had to walk through mud to reach electric and to fill water.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
