Shady Creek

Very nice park. Easy to navigate, even with big rigs, which there were planty. Never seen a park where every pad was level like this one. Electric was 30/50 at each site and water was dispersed through out the park, but often too far for a hose to reach. Down side is railroad tracks on one side, which came through at 3:30 am blowing his horns, and the Mississippi on the other, a couple during the night with their loud engines. Although they a neat to watch during the day they can be a nuisance during sleep hours. 

All in all we still very much like this park. With the geezer pass we paid $10 for a primo spot (#14). Would definitley stay here again if in the area.

Shady Creek COE Park

What a gem we found in Muscatine Iowa. Level poured pad for RV, electric and nice fire pits. Large sites. Clean restrooms and lots of hot water for
Shower. Beautiful views of the
Mississippi and most of all quiet. 

One of our favorites 

Beautiful campground right along the mississippi river

Great stay!!

This CG is actually on the Iowa side of the Mississippi River and managed by USCOE. Along and off US Highway 22 near Wildcat Den SP and Fairport State Rec Area. Near railroad. Near towns of Buffalo and Muscatine.

Nice CG along Great River Road

Spent 2 nights here. Impressed with the cleanliness of the place. Very quiet at night, even though the place was packed. Close to groceries, fuel. We spent a morning at a Farmers Market in Davenport, about 20 miles away.

Great Location

Great spot on the Mississippi River. Has I known the park beforehand, I would have picked a spot on the river.  Still a two hundred foot walk and I am there.  

Very clean.  I was next to a vault toilet did did use it for a quick #1.  Clean and did not have any foul smell.

Level cement pads.  Strong Verizon access.

Only negative was that there is a train track real close and a lot of crosses, So you will hear alot of close train horns and they go deep into the night/morning

Fabulous  spot

Wonderful campground along the Mississippi River. Well maintained and very courteous camp host. This is our second stay at this campground.
