I love this little campground with boat ramps right on the riverside of Fairport Slough. There's a nice little beach area on the channel-side of the island that forms the slough. The ramps are decently smooth (paved and grooved, not broken up or all gravel) and not terribly busy in the summer. The docks are missing a couple of cleats, but that's not the end of the world. There's a sign at the ramp I use that says the trailer length limit is 20 feet. I don't know if the other ramp is the same, because I tend to use the upriver one all the time, not the downriver ramp. It's a beautiful spot to enjoy the river in Pool 16 of the Mississippi River!

We had planned to stay one night at this campground until we discovered that we’d lost our trailer keys. Kelly, the camp host, went above and beyond to try and help us locate a locksmith. She worked with us for more than 30 minutes searching for locksmiths in the area. The campground was very tidy and the sites featured gravel pads surrounded by grass. The Mississippi River was 50 yards away and made for a beautiful backdrop.

We thought this park was great. And the price was super, too! The spaces were ample size, the hosts were helpful, it was right on the Mississippi River and close to Muscatine and other towns and quiet and relaxing. **NOTE: some may find it a problem that it’s right next to a very busy train track. We didn’t. Trains come by several times each day and night. They do blow the whistle and it’s loud - but we love trains and it didn’t really bother us. Your camper will shake and you will wake up the first few times. Small price to pay to be right on the river and close to everything. We would stay here again if in the area.

Nice small campground along the Mississippi River. Great price at 23 dollars a night. The bathrooms and showers were nice for a state campground. They have a boat ramp if you want to boat while there. The drinking water at the campsites had a slightly cloudy or brownish tint so we didn't drink it and I would be prepared and bring your own drinking water. Nice views of the river and you can also fish. Take note it is along a train track and there was one train at about 3 AM and then later in the morning that are loud and they blow the horns.

Nice little campground with the river right there with boat ramps even. Water and electric hookup. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Only complaint was, there was a lot of train traffic with them going by throughout the night with the horn.

These mostly level gravel spaces along the Mississippi River are reasonably spaced, with fire pits and picnic tables. Liked that the park was not too large. Loved watching the moon rise over the river. Very picturesque. Verizon service was good. The only downside is some (minor) road noise and train noise. While there aren't a lot of trains passing by, the whistle is loud, though it didn't bother us much inside our RV. We visited the Wildcat Den State Park which had great hiking trails. Shopping is available in nearby Muscatine.

It's a nice place for camping but not really much else. There is a boat ramp for access to the Mississippi River and ample parking for trailers. It appears to be well kept up.

Rural, small State site with electric, water and a dump. Full bath and showers. 18.00 a night full hook up. Fire pits with racks for cooking. Tent sites available. Beautiful area on the Mississippi river. 4-10-23 Part of the campgrounds were underwater but there were plenty of open sites. We would stop again great for a quick overnight stay.

Smaller campground, much more to our liking. Nice lots, quiet, clean restrooms. 2 boat ramps. Definitely will be back.
