Beautiful Park atmosphere right next to the Mississippi River. Sites are not crammed together. Train does come through once in awhile but gets you up for the day as well.

On one side of the park you can watch the barges and boat go by on the back side you get to hear the trains. Very relaxing and calming.

We came without reservations because we had planned on staying at another park and found last minute that it was full. A Ranger helped us to get reservations at Shady Creek and was very helpful to us. We got a beautiful shady spot and had a wonderful time! Everyone at this park from the mowing guy to the the camp host and rangers are always kind and helpful! Restrooms and showers are clean and well maintained also!

We love staying at Corp of Engineers campgrounds, and Shady Creek is no exception. As old fogies, we are interested in easily accessible shoreside fishing spots. We did not fish there, but that didn't seem as easily accessible as some others are.

The host at this campground are the best
@RhondaM2764057 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #17
Well-kept campground with level concrete pads for the trailer & tow vehicle, as well as for the picnic table and around the fire pit. We had a great view of the river without pesty mosquitoes. We'll Definitely be back!

Beautiful, peaceful and serene.
@EricaM1032592 · Camped on Sep 20, 2025 at Campsite #4
This campground is absolutely lovely! The parking pads are huge, level and concrete slabs. They all have 50 AMP electric and a cute box with a night light. Its right on the river where you can take a walk up and down. Theres also a small boat dock you can use for fishing or small water rec toys. The playground and gazebo are a nice feature. The shower area and facilities are well maintained and clean. The staff is absolutely lovely. Great location close to Wildcat Den State Park and Muscatine! Highly recommend this campground if youre in the area or considering coming out this way!

The dock needs to be dredged

Quiet campground along the banks of the Mississippi River. Fun to watch the river traffic go up and down the river. Sites were long and spaced out pretty nice.
@ConnieFFB1D88B · Camped on Sep 7, 2025 at Campsite #42

@DougP9829816 · Camped on Aug 31, 2025 at Campsite #34
We stayed in site 34 for just one night on our way to the UP. The campground was very nice. the restrooms were kept very clean. Our sight was concrete and was very level so we didn't need to unhook the truck from the trailer. It was nice and quite.it is right on the Mississippi river. very nice scenery. I would stay here again if I ever in the area.

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.
