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.

Bathroom/shower house was pretty clean. The view of the river that we had was excellent. My kiddos alway have loved the playgrounds and boat ramp.

Beautiful campground on the Mississippi River. The campground area has recovered nicely from past flooding. The sites along the river are the best!

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.

Elevation: 171 ft
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.
