Gary McDermott RV Park

River View City Park houses Riverview City Park, a municipal campground managed by the City of Clinton that sits directly between downtown Clinton and the Mississippi River. The campground operates as a paved area with full hookups, providing electric, water, and sewer connections along with amenities like showers and a dump station.

Campers find themselves in an urban setting with minimal shade and extensive pavement, creating what one reviewer described as "like a parking lot between town and the river." The sites feature hard pads, picnic tables, and fire rings, though the layout prioritizes utility access over natural screening. A walking trail runs along the waterfront where visitors can watch boat traffic heading toward the Mississippi. Fast food restaurants and other services lie within walking distance of the campground.

Train noise presents a consistent consideration, with locomotives passing every few hours throughout the day and night. "The one negative is noise from trains," notes one camper who otherwise enjoyed the convenience and river access. The campground provides a practical base for exploring places to camp near River View City Park or accessing nearby attractions like the Clinton Riverfront Park and marina facilities.

The setup works best for RV travelers prioritizing full hookups and urban convenience over natural surroundings, particularly those with boats looking to access the Mississippi River system.
