About
Clarks Ferry Recreation Area is a well-maintained campground operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along the scenic Iowa banks of the Upper Mississippi River. The 11-acre facility sits among large mature trees and provides direct access to one of the most productive fishing stretches of the river, drawing anglers seeking channel catfish, bluegill, walleye, crappie, and northern pike. All 45 campsites rest on concrete pads with 50-amp electrical service, picnic tables, and fire rings. The campground includes a boat ramp with day-use access, an accessible fishing dock, dump station, and picnic shelter available for reservation. Two playgrounds, horseshoe pits, and a volleyball court round out the recreational amenities. Located just east of Muscatine via Highway 22, the campground offers easy access to nearby attractions including Shady Creek Recreation Area and Wildcat Den State Park. Reservations are handled through Recreation.gov.
Directions
From Davenport, Iowa, drive west on Hwy 22 about 15 miles and turn at Clark's Ferry Sign in Montpelier.
