Expect to see whitetail deer as they love to make the park home.

Deer everywhere

We love Scott County Park. There are lots of campsites, plenty of Geocaches to find, a swimming pool, hiking trails. It has a little bit of everything!

Clean, Peaceful, Plenty to do!

This campground has a large amount of sites to chose from, but not many shaded spots. We camped in the Wilderness Campground and had shade. Over all this campground caters to RV's.

This is a clean camp ground.

If you need to be entertained this is a good place to be, they have a pool, golf course, and hiking trails.

The hiking trails are good.

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.

Tent Camping

Clean facilities including: golf course, historical pioneer village, miles to hike, Pride Lake is smaller but fun to fish, has both horse and bike trails, a model airplane field, and 3 cabins.

Wilderness CG, Great county park with lots to do

Once there was a time where almost every weekend from spring to fall I would camp here with my family. Scott County Park has been the standard from which I judge all other campgrounds.

When you come into the park you check in at the entry station. The people there always friendly and knowledgeable. This is also where you can purchase firewood if you want to.

For tent camping, I preferred Wilderness over Incahaias mainly because Wilderness feels much more private, as some of the individual sights towards the back are surrounded by bushes/trees. Wilderness is primitive and Incahaias has electric hookups.

By far though I spent most of my youth at the Pine Grove campsite. Electric service is 30 Amp and there is a dump station and potable water up front. My father had a 28' travel trailer and he never had a problem backing it into whatever spot we had. We played a lot on the playground there and rode our bikes wherever. 

There is a trail head on the west of the campsite that we would always take to hike to Walnut Grove Pioneer Village.

Pioneer village if you've never been was the absolute bees knees as a kid to go to, especially since you can hike to get there! I loved climbing around in the train cars, eating icecream/candy canes, and watching the blacksmith work.  Sometimes they'll have shootouts in the street which was always a blast pun intended! :) I would say kids older than maybe 10 might think the experience is kind of lame though.

Scott County Park also has a public pool as well. The last time i swam here i do not believe the pool was heated but now it is! They also did not have the big water slides.

The picnic shelters at Scott County Park are also great. I've been to them many times over the years for graduations, family reunions, birthday's etc.

I cannot speak about the golf course or the Bald Eagle site (For dedicated RV and travel trailer users) as I have never been to either, but both places seem fairly busy and Bald Eagle is open year round!

I haven't been here in a few years but I'll be back soon enough!

I grew up here

This has always been a nice and well maintained park. Although theres a small "lake"  here, Ive never had great luck catching much. Pool is nice and updated.  Park rangers are always frequently present and patrolling. This a great park for camping and walking trails.

Awesome for camping and trails

We stayed in the Pine Grove Campground, Lot #15 from Sunday, July 25, 2021 - Wednesday, August 4, 2021. This campground is electric hookup only. On our site we were able to just fit our camper and truck with not a whole lot of extra room but other sites had a longer driveways able to accommodate a larger rig. We have a 25' camper for reference. We absolutely loved camping here!

  

The campgrounds are well maintained. Cleaning Day is Monday... they come around to clean the bathrooms and refill products, empty the dumpsters, and clean out the fire pits. 

  

We did not get any pictures of the bathrooms but they are very clean, 4 toilet stalls and 3 showers. The only issue I had with the shower was it was just a stall... not much room to put your clothes and towel, but they did provide a shower caddy to put your soaps and such on. I ended up using a bag I could hang on the hook provided on the door to keep my stuff dry while showering. 

  

The campground was pretty quiet and sparse until Friday rolled around and it filled up fast! All but one site was full! Everyone was very friendly and there were a ton of kids that were playing and riding around on their bikes. It was fun to watch everyone having a good time! 

  

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. The roads are slightly narrow, just enough for 2 cars to pass each other so make sure you are looking out while riding your bike. We also did one of the hiking trails. It was a nice trail just big enough for one person (or person on a bike) to walk through so you have to walk in a single file line. We also stopped at the Pioneer Village to check it out. They do expect you to leave a $2 donation per adult and $1 donation per child, but this is based on the honor system. You put your money in a little lock box. It was very cool to see how things were done back then! We would definitely recommend stopping by, and definitely stop in the ice-cream shop and get a cone!

  

The pool was open while we were there but we did not partake. It was really hot out so the pool was packed! It looks really nice from the road, it has 2 water slides and a small child area fashioned similar to a splash park.

Beautiful Scenery, Well Maintained, A Lot To Do!!!

Enjoyed almost 2 weeks at West Lake Park, part of the Scott County, IA park system. Helpful staff, park rangers make daily patrols, nice spots, many with shade trees &amp; decent room.
There are numerous walking trails &amp; is minutes away from the heart of downtown. Overall, a great RV parking experience &amp; would return back again!

West Lake Park- Great Place to Park!

CG is primarily RV but tents can setup and there is a luxury cabin in CG. Showers/restrooms, wood available, host onsite, overflow parking, standard sites, trails nearby, Pool open during season, golf course nearby, well maintained. PRIDE Lake nearby for paddling and fishing. Pioneer Village cultural site at north end.

Nice County CG , Nice amenities

This is a large park with several surrounding camp grounds.  Specifically in Bald Eagle, our spot is one of the best with plenty of shade and space.  This camp has water, elec and sewer.

Large park with several trails

We needed to stay in Davenport area for the night (traveling from South Dakota to Maryland) and the reviews were high so we stopped here.  Did not disappoint- very quiet, huge lot, clean and manicured, large bathhouse.  Next time, we will hopefully stay for longer so we can try out the amenities!

Just a quiet one night stay

CG is only CG open in winter in Scott County Park. CG sites offer full service including fire rings and firewood is available. Seasonal host is not available in winter. Trails are good for hike/bike/horses/xc ski/snowshoe when open conditions allow. PRIDE lake offers ice fishing with good ice. There is a large modern cabin at north end of CG for rent.

Clean County CG 

Beautiful, spacious and quiet campground. Park rangers and staff are so kind and respectful of keeping the areas cleaned up and cared for! Lots of tree shade for picnicking,  hiking trails, and even a pool! Bathrooms were always stocked and cleaned, plus they have HOT SHOWERS! Woohoo! Such a wonderful time at Scott County Park! Can’t beat it! :D

Well kept campground + peaceful/quiet 

This park is pretty huge so make sure you know which campground you’re going to. The sites here are all shaded (at least in the Pine Grove section I was in). I was next to a large shower house that had plenty of hot water and everything was super clean. The park staff were very friendly and helped me get to the campsite I needed. Beware that if you come after 10pm, there is no way to pay for your spot so you’d have to choose a random spot and come back the next morning to pay. 

The sites themselves are HUGE and some of them would accommodate the largest camping rigs you could imagine. Everything in Pine Grove is 50 amp. There are playgrounds for your kids to play in. Cell service was excellent for Verizon and AT&amp;T. Not sure about T Mobile. 60mbps down and 16 up for AT&amp;T.
