Clean, quiet and nice facilities but the placement of the fire rings borders on the absurd. These are obviously RV sites so there's already little expectation of privacy but they're good size and leave ample space behind your camper. The site we were on was tree-lined in the back. Perfect for a fire ring, right? Nah. Instead they're out front 5 ft from the road. I've never seen anything like it. 🥴

Quad Cities Sweet Camping Retreat
Just minutes west of Davenport, Park Terrace Campground is a delightful county-operated camping destination nestled within the sprawling 620-acre West Lake Park. With four picturesque lakes, rolling green lawns, mature shade trees and an impressive assortment of recreational activities, this is much more than your average roadside CG. Whether you're passing through the Quad Cities or settling in for a relaxing weekend, there's plenty to keep you entertained, including fishing, kayaking, hiking, disc golf and a seasonal swimming beach. It's an especially appealing destination for families who appreciate having a little adventure right outside their camper door.
The campground itself features approximately 77 campsites, including spacious RV sites with 50-amp electrical service, water and sewer hookups, plus 13 primitive tent sites tucked toward the wooded perimeter in the rear - so for those tent campers that like to be somewhat removed from the RV crowd, this is an excellent option. Most RV sites are reasonably level, with gravel parking pads, picnic tables and fire rings, although spacing can be a little cozy (er, tight) in places. Mature trees provide welcome shade throughout portions of the campground, while the modern bathhouse offers restrooms and showers. Additional conveniences include a dump station, playground, seasonal campground host and firewood availability. Best of all, the CG delivers an impressive collection of amenities without the hefty price tag of a commercial RV resort.
A few things worth knowing before arriving: the CG is accessed through Gate 5 off 110th Avenue, and water hookups are generally seasonal despite the CG's year-round designation. Some sites are more exposed than others, and the relatively close spacing means privacy isn't necessarily its strongest selling point. Nevertheless, for RV travelers, tent campers and families seeking affordable accommodations with outstanding recreational opportunities, Park Terrace is a terrific little discovery.
Insider's Tip: Tent campers should head toward the designated wooded camping area toward the back of the CG for a more traditional outdoor experience. RV travelers should bring an extra-long drinking-water hose, as some sites share water connections positioned several campsites apart. Also, the park gates close overnight, so plan your arrival accordingly.
Happy Camping!

Geneseo Campground
Small, Quiet and Clean
It’s small, quiet and clean. Booked on-line easily. Planned just for 2 days traveling cross country. Got a pull thru site, didn’t know the direction to pull in as their map didn’t show any arrows. Site is gravel, dirt and grass. Quite level and no blocks needed. Hook ups are situated properly for easy connection. Noted about 10 long term sites in use. Did not use any campground shower or toilet facilities. Follow directions given by campsite to avoid low railroad bridge. Followed their blue camping signs coming from i80 just fine. Geneseo is a nice small farm town with good supplies, gas , laundry. I would stay again if needed.

Summit Cabin 2, West Lake Park
Front-Porch Perch Above Railroad Lake
If sleeping on the ground has begun losing some of its charm, Summit Cabin 2 at West Lake Park offers a pretty compelling alternative. Perched atop a rolling prairie hillside overlooking Railroad Lake, this modern 1.2K sq ft cabin combines the serenity of camping with enough creature comforts that you might briefly forget you're supposed to be 'roughing it'. Managed by the Scott County Conservation Board, the cabin is ADA-accessible, sleeps up to eight and sits within a 620-acre county park encompassing 4 lakes, giving you plenty of nature outside the door without surrendering air conditioning, indoor plumbing or a proper mattress at the end of the day.Â
Inside, this place is impressively equipped with two bedrooms - one with a queen bed plus twin bunks and a second room with a queen - a queen sleeper sofa, full kitchen with stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher, dining table for eight, modern bathroom with shower, Wi-Fi, gas fireplace, heat and air conditioning. Outside you'll find a covered porch overlooking the lake, picnic table, fire ring and gas grill, with parking for 2 vehicles. The kitchen even includes dishes, cookware and utensils, although you'll need to bring your own bedding, pillows, bath towels and toiletries. Pets aren't permitted, which is worth remembering before Fido hops into the truck expecting a weekend at the lake.Â
The real advantage, though, is everything waiting beyond the front porch. West Lake Park offers four lakes for fishing and recreation, a seasonal swimming beach, boat dock, accessible fishing dock, paddleboat rentals, playgrounds, trails, disc golf and seasonal concessions. For forgotten groceries or something worthy of tossing onto that gas grill, nearby Hy-Vee Grocery Store on West Locust Street is a convenient Davenport resupply option; you're also close enough to the Quad Cities that civilization never feels particularly far away.Â
Insider's tips? Here's a handful: (1) Bring a couple of lawn chairs because that covered porch overlooking Railroad Lake begs for morning coffee and an evening sundowner, but it's in the shade - if you want to grab some proper dawn or dusk light, you'll need to bring your own seat; (2) pack all bedding and bath linens, because those aren't provided; (3) bring fishing rods and take advantage of the park's four lakes, or make a day of the swimming beach and paddling opportunities during warmer months; (4) Firewood is available for purchase inside the park, saving you from hauling your own; (5) Remember that only two vehicles may park at the cabin, although overflow parking is nearby (like literally 20 yards from the VIP parking you'll find here at the cabin); and (5) Don't arrive expecting to pitch an extra tent beside the cabin as tents and campers aren't permitted within the cabin area.Â
Happy Camping!
Gail G.GuideSummit Campground - West Lake Park
Nice county park
Stayed one night as passing thru, has lots of pull thru sites, FHU, and 30/50 amp. Great bathrooms, some shaded sites. Kinda crazy, pulled into gate 5 to check if had available site, was told, had to go into gate 1, pick an open site, and then go back to gate 5 to pay!!! Thankful the ranger, who we followed into campground, set up, and were able to pay ranger, thus did not need to disconnect our tow car! Can book in advance online which would be easier, but we were winging the one night stay.

30 for full hook up. Need a a longer water house as double spigots are every few sites. Firewood at the office. Good location convenient.
Keri L.GuideLittle Bear Campground
Perfect for a quick stop
If you’re looking for a quick stop on your travels with full hookup and a bonus pool this is perfect! The host is very friendly and accommodating. Easy on and off of I80. There is not a lot of shade but if you have AC and an awning, you will be just fine

Nice and clean
Very nice campground! Staff and campers alike were friendly, and the air conditioned cabin was perfect with the very humid night.
Guide to Keithsburg
Cabin lodging options near Keithsburg, Illinois include both rustic and modern accommodations within 30 miles of the Mississippi River. The area's climate features humid summers with temperatures averaging 85°F and cold winters dropping to 15°F. Most cabin rentals require advance reservations, especially during summer months when visitor numbers increase due to fishing season.
What to do
Fishing the Mississippi River: Sturgeon Bay Park and Campground offers direct access to Mississippi River fishing. "Great place to camp especially if you have a boat or like to fish the Mississippi river. 2 blocks from a restaurant/tavern. City of New Boston has several different community events throught the year as well," notes camper Coty G.
Paddling opportunities: Big Hollow Recreation Area has multiple water-based recreation options. "This site has a large number of mostly cement camper spots, including pull through. There is a large playground and shower house. Primitive camping for single or group spots. Campgrounds also include a shooting range, beach, equestrian trails, canoe rentals, and launch," explains Travis R.
Disc golf courses: Several parks feature disc golf opportunities, including West Lake Park. "CG has new septic lines and walking paths! Sites have upgraded lanes, pads. Sites offer standard amenities, seasonal host onsite, firewood available, play area, overflow parking, lake nearby for fishing, paddling. Beach open with concessions seasonally. Disc golf course," states James M.
What campers like
Heated shower facilities: Campers consistently praise the cleanliness and comfort of shower facilities at Bald Eagle Campground and Cabins. "This campground is the largest RV campground in the park. A portion of this campground is sectioned off for the season, though plenty of spacious sites are available that include: fire pit, tables, water, electric, hard pads, firewood, available, heated shower house, very clean," according to James M.
Year-round operations: Unlike seasonal options, some facilities remain open throughout winter. "This was a great one night stay. We were in site #5 FHU. Easy and friendly check in. Nice lake in park. It was still off season so pool etc was not open. Easy on/off interstate," reports Rachel G. about Camelot Campground Quad Cities USA.
Lake activities: The region offers multiple lake-based recreation options. "Fished here for a few years but camped here for the first time with my travel trailer this year. The campground is well laid out. If you are in a group you can reserve spots 8 and 9 together or there are some long spots in the Eastern part for double occupancy if you want," shares Sarah J. about Big Hollow Recreation Area.
What you should know
Seasonal closures: Park Terrace Campground - West Lake Park operates from April 15 to October 15. "Sadly lost many ash trees, but still has some shade. Decent shower restroom building. Campground flat with electric, water and sewer at sites. Very reasonable rates. Open year around. Park has five small lakes for fishing and boating, easy hiking trails and a tough disc golf course," notes Jerome B.
Insect management: During summer months, insects can be troublesome. "They have gnats that are a real pest, but at the camp office they sell a gnat replant that works great. If you go pick some up while you are signing in," advises Shanon P. about Bald Eagle Campground.
Noise levels: Some campgrounds experience more road noise than others. "Loud loud loud!!! If you are hard sided and well insulated and you run the A/C unit all night this might be a nice place; for us in a pop up (this is 'camping out', right?) parking at Walmart would have been a quieter option," cautions Robert C. about Summit Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Swimming access: Spring Lake Campground offers water recreation suitable for families. "I've stayed here every summer great place lots todo with the kids had a lake to fish, kayak, canoe. Has and outdoor skating rink next to the lake very neat," recommends Taylor A.

Playground facilities: Multiple campgrounds feature playground equipment. "We loved the helpful service from the owner as he helped us get settled in. It was our first time there and it was a great visit. The showers at the main lodge were AMAZING. We forgot our grill but thankfully their fire pits have a built in grill which saved us so much," reports Chole C. about Haven Hills Campground and Resort.
Tips from RVers
Sewage hookup locations: Pay attention to utility placement when positioning your RV. "Spots are close, but level. Sewage located well to rear of most campsites, so back way in. Great staff, prices are wonderful. Water is clear and tasteless so good for filling my tank," advises Gena B. about Park Terrace Campground.
Site spacing considerations: Shady Lakes Campground provides recreational options beyond your campsite. "You can you can rent a paddle boat or canoe from the main office and there is also a nice swimming pool. They have events in the hall like bingo and also serve breakfast on the weekends," shares Cassidy L.
Historical attractions: Several parks feature historical components worth exploring. "The park is very well patrolled by the Park Rangers, you see them driving around all the time to check and make sure everything is in order. We rode around on our electric bikes, strolling through the campgrounds, stopping at the lake to take in the view, stopping at the memorial to check it out," explains M E. about Bald Eagle Campground.
