Mississippi River - Pools 11-22 - COE/Thomson Causeway

The Mississippi River Pools 11-22 Coe Thomson Causeway is a navigable waterway located in Thomson, Illinois. It is part of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, and is a popular spot for fishing, boating, and other recreational activities.

It was a really nice campground and for the water water, the marsh area and the proximity of the Mississippi River. I was totally surprised at the lack of mosquitoes and other flying insects. I would definitely go there again. Nice relaxing. Well organized and at $26 a night for water and electricity you can't go wrong.

This is one of our favorite places to "camp'. They offer electric and water hookup for $26 a night. A great deal! A lot of spaces along the Mississippi River (if you book early). Everyone is very friendly. The shower house has improved a bit, it is much cleaner than I have seen in the past.

First time ever camping and my experience was amazing. This location is great, quiet, safe and has bathrooms and showers. the rangers and volunteers are beyond friendly. The other campers are also very kind. The wildlife and nature were so great to witness. If you've never been camping like me, this is a great first step!

This is a wonderful campground. All of the sites are cement slabs, and many have water and electricity. The sites on the water side are little waterfront properties. Nature comes up so close. You feel like you can reach out and touch it. A nature lovers delight. Prairies and bike paths nearby.
