Clarks Ferry

This campground sits between the Mississippi River with barge traffic and busy rail road tracks. I knew this up front because you can see it on the map. To me this just means people are working which is great. I know the horns blow all night and day long but i choose to ignore it. The campsites are great. The hosts are warm and welcoming also very helpful. I missed a great photo opportunity last night. Birds were migrating to the north and flying very close to the river. It was awesome to watch. We love this campground!

If it weren’t for the trains going by constantly, it would be a five star place. The trains were just relentless, even during the night. My husband is a train loving kind of guy, but even he thought it was very loud and constant. The sites are clean and nicely spaced. The view of the river was lovely. We were at site 15 and had a partial view of river.

Park offers standard sites with electric, tables, fire rings, hard pads, dump station, water. Entry station has host, firewood. There is a playground area with shelter across entry station along with a use fee boat ramp. Park sits along Mississippi River and has sites on shore. Park also sits along train tracks so be aware. Wildcat Den SP just down river.

This campground is probably the smallest of the four in the area, plus the spaces don't feel crammed together, so you do get a more relaxed feel. All sites are paved. There are two playgrounds - one message for smaller kids and one mostly for bigger. I liked their bathroom/shower house setup, which I had not seen before (but may not be too unusual). Instead of the standard men's/women's sides, there were four separate rooms, each with toilet, sink, and shower. It helped a lot with helping young kids shower! The only downside is the trains going by in the middle of the night...

Great campsite close to the bathrooms for an affordable price. The one thing to know is the train comes by about every hour behind the campsite and blows its horn at the two crossings adjacent to the campsite. This happened through the night and was extremely loud so just know that is there before booking this campground. I have attached a video of the train coming by to this review.

The spots are spaced out and angled nicely. Good view of the river. Has a nice handicap accessible dock. Very clean and well kept. The trains are noisy, other than that very quiet.

Every nice park, right on the Mississippi River. Really nice bathrooms and showers. One downside is it is near railroad tracks.

Just off Highway 22 and runs along Mississippi River and railroad tracks. Shady sites, showers, 50 amp service, fish cleaning station, playground, and small amphitheater for naturalist programs.  Near Wild Cat Den SP, Fairport Rec Area, and Towns of Buffalo to north & Muscatine to south ( food, drinks, supplies)

It is a small camping area with the standard amenities. I like it because you can se the barge traffic on the river. I have camped here on more than several occasions.

Nice campground along Mississippi River with lots of fish to catch. Has playground for younger children, near Wild Cat Den State Park.
