Clean restrooms. However, the showers didn't work but one day in my 11 day stay. Before they quit working, the water pressure was a drip. Overall, the campground was well maintained. Don't buy your wood there; it is substandard wood. Jump on 22 and head towards Muscatine (west). There is a house on the right that has a stack of firewood for cheaper and you get more. It's a cash/honor box system there. I give less stars because of the train. The train track that is located 20 feet from the campground is highly active. There is a train that passes through every 35 minutes to an hour, 24 hours a day. It is near a crossing so it is blasting the horn every time. If you don't sleep deeply or have thin walls in your camper, be aware of this. Lots of flies at the camp site. Carry fly traps with you. I wouldn't do water sports in the river in front of this campground. The water has a sewage/septic smell to it; maybe from city waste just upriver.Local stuff to do. Tavern 61 in Blue Grass Taco Tuesday is awesome. Davenport Farmer's Market was fun and had many items at reasonable pricing. Wildcat Den State Park is a must see. Cool trail with a cave. Tycoga Winery just north of Davenport was fun.

Great river view, wonderful hosts.

A great site in the Mississippi, quiet and relaxing. It was a perfect stop over on our journey West.

Site 10 is best for river view but has no shade. Nice concrete pads. Train rules next to CG frequently but you do get used to it. Camp hosts are present and congenial. Bath house is excellent with each of the 4 having a complete 3 pc bathroom with shower. Lockable door from outside. Every CG should have shower/bathrooms like this. Nothing directly in town. Blue Grass has small grocer. Everything else is in Davenport. Fun to go to Worlds Largest Truck Stop on nearby rt 80. Welhen we were there the Mayflied were swarming which was quite gross. Ypu need to clean them off your RV, awnings and vehicle so they don't bake on. CG is quiet and other campers respectful. Starlink was just OK, not great at this location.

VERY NICE CAMP GROUND WITH A NICE BOAT RAMP, AND VERY CLEAN SHOWERS & BATHROOMS AND A GREAT VIEW OF THE RIVER. IF YOU DON'T DON'T LIKE TRAIN WHISTLES, YOU MAY NOT CARE FOR THAT, BUT MY HUSBAND AND I LIVE CLOSE TO THE TRAIN TRACKS AND WE DIDN'T MIND IT AT ALL.
@LarryC7765348 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #7
Great COE on the Mississippi. Too bad there arent any trails or hiking from the campground. Fun to watch the barges and white pelicans float by. Nice paved sites and roadways. They take great care of the grounds.
@GaryS1862766 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #39
Nice quiet campground. Mostly older couples due to not much for kids to do. Boat dock next door makes it a nice place for fisherman to camp.
@EileenU75A7320 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #9
Nice campground. Showers need better water pressure.
@KeithJ4436314 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #15
Nice enough. the sites were relatively close.
@EDWARDS3079365 · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #7
Bathrooms at this campground is the best of all the Campgrounds in this area. It is well maintained and the Hostess is very friendly. The view is priceless of the Mississippi.
@GaryS1862766 · Camped on Oct 20, 2024 at Campsite #10
Clean bathrooms and well kept grounds at a river view location !
@StaceyF80AC5EC · Camped on Sep 21, 2024 at Campsite #15
First time campers so nothing to compare to. Very quiet and peaceful campground. Clean bathrooms. Two small playgrounds with volleyball/grass area. Train came by once through the night and was not an issue. We explored wild cat den during the day and it was very nice to be close by after.
@MichaelW725874 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #11
Very pleasant people. Nice view of the river and barges. Very nice shower rooms. All in all, a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Would highly recommend this campground.

Pretty area. Nice park by River. Groceries within 10 miles. Train can be noisy
@Henryo1678456 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #27
A notice on water quality would have been helpful
@DonaldP7877505 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #8
The park and site were okay, not great. We stayed only one night as we were told the well water was contaminated after we filled our tank and got set up.
@CraigH8329221 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #1
As usual, the trains were a little noisy but to be expected. was very friendly and helpful and restrooms/ showers were clean. Water was easily accessible as was the dump station. Will return as we have before.
@BrianS9986332 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #15
Private, secluded, clean facilities. Nice informative camp host. Some window river view. RR track in the back row. Will return soon.
@JohnW4841416 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #8
great site overlooking the river, quiet (except for occasional train). Lots of bird life in the evening.
@WilliamZ116256 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #34
Loud trains
@GaryW8456397 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #9
Nice place, very clean, nice concrete sites, views of the river very nice, most of the site are shaded. My only complaint was the noise from the trains, very close to the campground.
@EricJ548E28A2B · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #2
Nice people and nice facilities.
@KathiTB058C175 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #12
The trains were annoying especially at 4:45 am.
@RickM3065083 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #9
Clarks ferry is one most relaxing camp grounds we have been to. We look at the Mississippi flowing and see wonder.The grounds are always clean and the shower house is always spotless.THA
@PatH3282376 · Camped on May 12, 2024 at Campsite #10
We really enjoyed the park. The only thing i did not like was the water pressure with the showers. We were right by the river and had a nice view. Saw several bardges go by.

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.

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.
