This Army Corps of Engineers’ campground is on the banks of the Mississippi River. Your federal pass gives you half price so the $20 nightly fee is reduced to $10.

Some sites are directly on the river. Site 13 seemed to be one of the best situated. We stayed in Site 12 which had a beautiful, unobstructed view of the river. Additionally, Site 12 was very level,

The campground includes both flush and pit toilets. Further, men’s and women’s showers are included with camping fee.

The restrooms and showers were fairly clean. Many friendly people, with the campground quieting down early. The evening we were there a beautiful sunset filled the sky over the Might Mississippi.

It appeared a lot of campers were settled in for one or two-week stays. We saw individuals fishing. Additionally, there are boat tours and sunset cruises offered nearby. Le Claire, Iowa is across the river. Fans of American Pickers can visit Mike’s original Antique Archaeology store.

Definitely a unique campground and a rare opportunity to spend the night on the Mississippi.
