Clean, well-priced campground. Nice location right on the river. Tent sites were roomy and removed from the RVs, which we appreciated. Only negative was that the street lights are very bright all night - had to wear an eye mask. The train tracks also are right by campground so we were woken up twice in the night.

What a great camping area! I truly enjoyed this campground. All the sites have a lengthy concrete pad, 50 amp, picnic table and fire pit. The facilities were clean and spacious. There was a beautiful flower garden in front of the bath house we used. Being located right on the Mississippi River is great. There’s a small boat dock. Large gazebo. Playground. The price is affordable. The host who greeted me was absolutely lovely! I thought it was First Come First Serve, but they’re actually on Rec.gov. Thankfully they had 2 sites available at 10 am on a Sat morning in mid September. Great location just a few minutes from Wildcat Den State Park and close to Muscatine. Just under 25 minutes from Wilton. Contrary Brewery in Muscatine is veteran owned and has an excellent beer selection with food!

Nice campground with good facilities. It’s very quiet and peaceful. Main downside is the Corps doesn’t keep up maintenance of the boat ramp. It is too shallow to use. Two stars gone for that since we are boaters and we have to drive to another campground to put our boat in.

Awesome campground right off the river. The spots are huge and fully paved. Clean bathrooms that are regularly cleaned and smell nice! We will definitely be coming back!

Trailer Park camping with a nice view. The first 11 sites are set up for winter camping ( just a spot to camp no electricity no water. There is a pit toilet over by. The boat ramp ) being open during the winter time is really nice for people like me who roam the country . I Appreciate that ,thank you Iowa. The grounds of this facility are taking care of nicely. There is a small trail that walks around the backside of this campground. Take heed that this campground is set between the railroad tracks and the river and between the two of them is a distance of about 600 yards. . Follow me in my travels on Instagram at mylifemyterms55
