About
Clarks Ferry Recreation Area is an 11-acre, Class A campground operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along the Iowa side of the Upper Mississippi River. Located just east of Muscatine and easily accessible from Highway 22, the facility features 45 campsites, each equipped with 50-amp electric hookups, picnic tables, and campfire rings. The campground offers modern amenities including a boat ramp, dump station, and an accessible fishing dock for shore fishing enthusiasts. The park is surrounded by large mature trees providing ample shade and creating a scenic setting along the mighty Mississippi River. Recreation opportunities abound with two playgrounds for children, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts, and excellent boating access. The Mississippi River draws anglers seeking channel catfish, bluegill, walleye, crappie, and northern pike. The area is also known for fantastic bird watching along this section of the Upper Mississippi River, which flows 1,250 miles from Lake Itasca, Minnesota to Cairo, Illinois. Nearby attractions include Shady Creek Recreation Area and Wildcat Den State Park, making Clarks Ferry an ideal base camp for exploring the region. The campground operates as a self-service facility where campers with reservations can modify their stays using the Recreation.gov website or mobile app.
