Great campground right on the Mississippi. Was nice to see the barges go by. There is a train track near by and they blow the whistle throughout the night.

Your park ranger I believe Patty was excellent and wealth of information! Very well maintained and great view of the river. Great location too being so close to Wildcat Den state park for hiking and Muscatine for restaurants, shops and biking. Also enjoyed bike trails around Moline. We love camping at Army Corp of Engineer campgrounds! Great facilities and very well maintained and staffed!!

Beautiful campground with responsive host. Site 12 has such a beautiful view of the river. Many activities to do in the area including state parks with hiking and nearby towns with activities. We had such a restful stay. Can’t wait to visit again.

Beautiful place to stay. Very serene. In my humble opinion I think we had the best site in the park..#4. Granted, it was in the middle of the week so the number of RV’s was small. But the view of the river I think is the closest of all the other campsites with nothing obstructing the view other than a few trees that are bankside. 5+ stars!

This campground has very spacious sites. It was very quiet and friendly. The sites are concrete with a concrete patio. They are very long and easy to navigate. The park rangers came by often, which was nice to see. Gina, the host, was very gracious and answered any questions we had. We had an issue with our RV while there. We extended our stay until the issue was resolved and Gina was very accommodating. We will be back soon!
