About
Fishermans Corner offers convenient camping along the Mississippi River near Hampton, Illinois, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The campground provides impressive views of the river and nearby aquatic marsh near Locks and Dam 14, which is home to turtles, waterfowl, and other wildlife. Eagle watching is particularly popular during winter months at the adjacent Elton E. Fawks Bald Eagle Refuge. The facility includes 51 campsites on concrete pads along paved roads. Of these, 46 sites have electric hookups with 20, 30, and 50 amp service, while 5 tent-only sites offer a more primitive experience. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Modern amenities include a shower house with flush toilets, potable water, and two dump stations. While there is no direct river access from the campground itself, the Fishermans Corner Day Use area is a short walk away with fishing access and a canoe/kayak ramp. The Central Trail section of the Mississippi River Trail passes directly in front of the campground, offering miles of walking and biking along the riverbank. Nearby attractions include the John Deere Pavilion (20 minutes) and the Illiniwek Forest Preserve.
