Grant River

Pros: Beautiful drive, great location on the river. Easy drives to visit Galena, Dubuque, and Balltown. Those were reasons we picked this park. Cons: Spots are fairly small and some a trick to get into if someone is across the "road/path". The prior occupants of our spot waited until exactly the 4:00 p.m. required time out, then dumped their fresh water tank on the concrete pad. There were a number of big barking dogs around us, and fires that were mostly smoke blowing toward us. Trains, fast and loud, about every 40 minutes all day and night.

Awesome campground, always a pleasure to camp 🏕😀

The campground is very nice. Sites are fairly level and easy to back into.

They had one rule that was a little odd, No parking on the grass “except for boat trailers “. There were two very large boats parked on the grass which was ok but my little motorcycle trailer was not allowed?

Very nice 👌

Grant River is a quite campground, even with the trains that pass by on the east. Camping spots are spaced so you can enjoy your outdoor privacy.
The town of Potosi is very nice. We visited the beer museum, and had a great sandwich. Potosi is less than 5 mi from the campground.
We also toured the Dickeyville Grotto, which was around 10 mi away.

We had a site reserved but when arrived someone was at our site. It was resolved with no problems. This campground was very well managed and has a great view of the Mississippi River. Would highly recommend.

Super place with great staff. This is our favorite place to go!

It is a quiet campground and has a very clean shower house. The campground is right on the Mississippi River. The boat ramp at this campground is essentially useless unless you are putting in a kayak, The river is extremely shallow and mucky here; the channel is on the Iowa side of the river. If you have a boat of any size then you need to go to the Cassville boat ramp. There is a RR track right next door and it is a busy track; it wasn't a determent to our camping.

We only live about 3 mi from the campground. It is one of the best campgrounds that we have ever camped in. It is always kept up very well, the shower house and restrooms are always clean and the view of the Mississippi River is exceptional. With the paved roadway and the cemented pads, the Corps of Engineers has done a wonderful job .

This is our favorite campground and Sandy is always so helpful and gracious when we check in. Couldn't have a better person for registration. The campground is also very quite.
