Rock Creek Marina & Campground (Clinton County Park)

Joel Petersen

My son and 5-year-old grandson had a great time camping at Rock Creek. Kim, the camp Host, is fantastic, and so understanding and accommodating. The Nature Center was awesome! My grandson wanted to go back many times. Access to the Mississippi main river is easy as can be. Camp security is excellent with frequent drive-bys from the internal security and local sheriff. My only minor complaints are that the picnic tables at our sites are in severe need of new boards, and a few loud people well after quiet hours, but other than that, it was perfect! I highly recommend Rock Creek.

Great location on the water, friendly staff, good showers. Tent site only $15.

Good place to camp grandkids stayed there a couple weeks ago. But since I have a service dog I can't rent the cabins anymore. I definitely can't sleep on the ground due to health reasons. They no longer allow animals in their cabins . So my family can't enjoy camping there anymore.

We were a group of 5 seniors. We ate supper at their snack bar which had a wide selection of choices with very friendly service. They have a cooler with a wide variety of beverage choices and a cooler with a wide variety of ice cream choices. The Eco Cruise on the pontoon was so peaceful, and our guide was very helpful and friendly. The hour long pontoon trip is donation only. This place is clean, handicap accessible, and there is an "education room" that is fun for everyone.

This campground has everything! Family friendly too. It is on the backwaters of the Mississippi, so bring your mosquitoe spray! As with all campgrounds along major rivers, there is rail traffic. You will hear trains passing by occasionally. I personally like the sound of trains passing by.

This park was a lot busier than most of the Iowa county parks that I’ve visited. (I’ll leave it to ‘you’ to decide if that’s a positive or a negative). The Eco Tourism Center was a nice addition with a small store that also had a limited food menu available (mainly burgers) and a room with a large display documenting some of the local wildlife and an aquarium showing some of the local aquatic species. Attached to, and behind the Tourism Center is a deck/balcony with views of the marina slips and the park. There is also a boat ramp with dock (and a scenic view) that was busy with kayakers and canoeists both coming and going while I was there.

Lol bring your own tent or camper, so of course the rooms are nice. You could rent a cabin. While you are there- go in the upstairs and see the huge aquarium and fish that hang up and the room with wildlife. Nice place to show the kids even if not camping. Free and they have The Marina rents canoes, kayaks and paddleboats complete with life jackets.

Wonderful people, awesome spots, very comfortable and well maintained. Walk the nature trail along the waters, paddle the back waters of the Mississippi River and experience it's ecosystem, take a sunset cruise from the campground, and enjoy the little museum. Bathrooms could be a bit cleaner and they are right by the museum so your camper-head of hair walk to the showers will be seen by daily visitors 🙂
