Campground is quiet and very clean

Easy reservation and check in, nicely maintained facilities, and beautiful waterfront location and views! Yes, there are bugs. You are out in nature and on the water - there are plenty of strategies to handle it, you just need to plan appropriately.

We were there to camp with cousins coming from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Although they all had to drive quite a distance to get to Thomson Causeway, they were so impressed by the facilities that they want to continue coming back.

This was our first time camping at Thompson. It was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife, water views and wonderful area to hike. We we defiantly be back. Hopefully yet this year.Thank you for a wonderful time.

Great view of the river and plenty of hiking trails

@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Aug 12, 2025 at Campsite #56

Very nice campground with very nice people working there.

I incorrectly picked out my site on the map and when I arrived there was disappointed. The recreation booth opened at 4pm so I drove around with the campsite map open on my phone looking to see if another spot was available. There were a couple great spots right on the river. When 4pm came I stopped by park booth when a very helpful and friendly staff member changed my reservation in seconds to the new spot I wanted. Very nice experience and will keep this tip in mind on future trips if needed. Thanks, Bob

Our loop had problems with power. (Site 60) There were multiple power surges almost every day. We have a good surge protector which shut off our rv power to protect it from damage. Our neighbors had the same problems. We left a day early as it was hot and we were tired of the power going out. We loved the campground otherwise.

@DaleP5415770 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #4

Love the views. Met a former co worker for the week. Usually yearly, last year flooded out. Love the improvement of pads and new pedestals in South, and more water hydrants in Potters.

@CathyP2075529 · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #59

Thomson Causeway is our favorite campground! Large sites, clean bathrooms and so peaceful and quiet. We love to ride our bikes and kayak on the river. I wish we could go more often.

@KeithL8101118 · Camped on Aug 4, 2025 at Campsite #117

The campground is excellent. The people running the campground are great. We spent a week there and had to come home unexpectedly. There was no problem getting our refund. We enjoy the campground every time we go there. Keith & Christy Lehman

Cant adjust water temp in showers, so they were a little cooler than I prefer. Other wise, the campground was great.

@Chrisd8356495 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #103

This is a beautiful campground. It is well maintained. We have gone there many times and have never been disappointed.

@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #15

Beautiful and well managed. I will will return.

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #19

Great experience with plenty of nice campground areas and sites.

@JessicaJ42A3FD · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #97

Beautiful place

@EdS6016815 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #4

Rained a lot. We had puddles on our lot and on the road in front of our site. Was fun watching the kids ride their bikes through the water. Nearby attraction is the Dutch Windmill at Fulton ,IL. Bear's Drive Inn at Thomson messed up our food order twice.

@RitaJ45D9634FE · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #23

Love it here and now it is especially easy to make same day reservtions! Thank you recreation.gov!!

@BillL4607685 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #76

This is a very nice campground. Mayflies were prolific but thats to be expected by the river. Families with kids showed up on Thursday with their bikes and the parents hadnt trained their kids to respect other peoples campsites. Id say that was the only drawback to the experience.

@JamesV6022367 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #65

Great place on the river -- saw 5 tows go through the #14 lock which is close to camp -- clean place with low water pressure in the showers but the water was the right temp. -- I/we will be going back -- Voulonteers are the best!!

@WENDYB6967976 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #41

Nice campground. Quiet. Much wildlife in stream off of the Mississippi River to view. Campfire could have been a little farther from trailer but ample wood available from camp host and easy to purchase. Would return

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
