Within 30 miles of La Motte, most RV campgrounds provide basic amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and trash service. While Rustic Barn offers market services and excellent WiFi, many smaller parks have limited cell coverage—one review noted variable service with "AT&T had 2 bars of LTE and Verizon 2 bars of LTE service" at a nearby location. Dump stations are available at most parks, though their placement varies with some positioned at park entrances. Pet policies are generally accommodating, with dedicated pet areas at select locations like Rustic Barn. Winter camping options are limited, with many parks closing between late October and early April due to seasonal conditions. Advance reservations are recommended during summer weekends when Mississippi River recreation drives higher occupancy.

    Rustic Barn Campground RV Park

    Very clean and well-maintained

    General: 58 sites with various amenities. Some are long pull-throughs, some are back-in, some have 30 amp with or without a patio, and some have 50-amp electric with or without a patio. Tents are NOT allowed. We were greeted immediately upon arrival and asked to sign a waiver and given a welcome packet. The rules are extensive, but most are common sense/courtesy and not at all unreasonable. 

    Site Quality: All had gravel driveways and looked level. Decent separation between sites although they are close together, as would be expected in an RV park. Our site had a patio and decent-sized picnic table but it was chilly when we were there so we ate inside. 

    Bathhouse: Very clean as were the showers. 

    Activities/Amenities: There are many activities offered, including a dog park, basketball, horseshoes, games (cornhole, large checkerboard, and others), a barn with a television, a book library, puzzles, and a pool table. Coffee is available after 9 am. There is also a small chapel available 24/7 and a laundry room. WiFi is also available. There is a camp store with ice, ice cream, some camping supplies, clothing, crafts, and more. We were told several restaurants will deliver to the campground. 

    We don’t typically prefer to stay in RV-style campgrounds, but it was conveniently located with easy access off Route 151 just over the Wisconsin border from Iowa, we were warmly welcomed, and enjoyed our short stay passing through. Pride of ownership was evident throughout.

    Mud Lake County Park

    Beautiful park on Miss River. Great value

    Mud Lake is a wonderful county park near Dubuque. Beautiful views of the Mississippi River. We stayed one night on our way to Minnesota. The sites are mostly sunny. The park streets are gravel with gravel sites. The park is quiet except for the occasional train from the nearby tracks. Great value for $21. Electric and water hookups. Marina and boathouse next door.

    Stayed in campsite #35 which has no shade. It was a gravel site which shares a pull-through with site 36. There was more than enough parking for my TT and truck and grass on either side. The site included: picnic table and fire ring. Utilities were located in the rear. 20A/50A electric and water. Site was level. Neighbors were nearby.

    AT&T had 2 bars of LTE and Verizon 2 bars of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 47 Mbps down, 1.3 Mbps up. Verizon data VERY SLOW. No WiFi.

    Would stay here again. We camped at Mud Lake Park in a Travel Trailer.

Guide to La Motte

Camping opportunities near La Motte, Iowa center around the Mississippi River's extensive backwaters and surrounding bluff country. The region sits within the Driftless Area, characterized by steep limestone ridges and deep river valleys that weren't flattened by glaciers during the last ice age. Summer temperatures typically range from 75-85°F with high humidity, while spring and fall offer milder conditions for outdoor recreation.

What to do

Fishing the backwaters: Rock Creek Marina and Campground offers excellent access to Mississippi River fishing spots. "This campground has an assortment of primitive and electrical sites. They also have cabins and canoe/kayak rental, a visitor shop with food/drink and a mini museum of the local wildlife," notes Ryan in his review of Rock Creek County Marina and Campground.

River tours: Experience the Mississippi from the water with guided excursions. "CG is spread out along bottomland river forest and includes camping cabins, tent and RV sites, RR/showers, playground, dump and water stations, Eco Tourism store/grill, paddling rentals, Blue Heron Cruises, nature center," explains James M. about the river tour options at Rock Creek.

Wildlife viewing: The backwaters provide habitat for diverse species. "The grounds are on backwaters of the Mississippi so there are boat ramps, docks, and areas to fish. The camp store also offers canoe, kayak, and other boat rentals," writes Chris F. about his experience at Spruce Creek Park, adding "They have an Eco Center with turtles, snakes, and an aquarium that our family really enjoyed."

What campers like

River proximity: The campsites along the Mississippi offer waterfront access. "Nice campground, quiet except for a train from time to time. Nice shower facilities," mentions Dexter I. about his stay at Blanding Landing, which sits directly on the river.

Well-maintained facilities: Rustic Barn gets consistent praise for cleanliness. "This is an extremely well maintained park with large pull thru sites, level sites with plenty of room, free wifi, and some of the cleanest bath/shower houses you'll find anywhere," writes Tina N. about Rustic Barn Campground RV Park.

Countryside views: The rolling hills surrounding La Motte create scenic camping backdrops. "With rolling hills of Wisconsin farmland surrounding you, you can't beat the view," says Tina N. about Rustic Barn, while another camper notes, "The views are pastoral...rolling Wisconsin bluffs and farms."

What you should know

Train noise: Several campgrounds near La Motte sit close to active rail lines. "Kind of like living next to an airport," warns Tony D. about Blanding Landing, explaining "Many sites are not real level. Biggest issue is train tracks with trains running by very often. Maybe an hour or 90 minutes with none then there would be three in a very short period."

Seasonal flooding: The Mississippi River area experiences regular flooding. "Watch river levels for flooding, bugs can be bad since location is bottomland riverine forest," cautions James M. about Off Shore RV Park, one of the newer rv parks near La Motte, Iowa.
