@GregO4992124 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #35

This is our favorite campground. We enjoy the Mississippi River and Wildcat Den State Park. Campground host is very friendly and helpful.

@TerryS6065626 · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #18

Had a wonderful time! Everyone working at the campground was friendly, knowledgable and helpful. The grounds and restrooms/showers were all mowed, trimmed and very clean!Tom, the man who did the mowing was a great guy who helped us with questions and setting up. Just a wonderful experience!!

@WilliamO175829 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #14

Had a great time. Love camping there, camp host is very friendly and nice.

@LarryS9195164 · Camped on Jun 3, 2024 at Campsite #31

Nice quiet campground with lots of friendly people. Great playgrounds for the kids.

@JaniceB6840397 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #4

We stay here frequently visiting kids. Liked the new electrical upgrades. The mud was not so much fun though. Hopefully there will be grass next year.

@SteveT7934674 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #53

Always quiet and peaceful. One of my favorite place to camp.

@LisaR8773346 · Camped on May 14, 2024 at Campsite #45

Very nice park. Good amount of space between sites. Clean bathrooms and shower house. While there are trains that go thru, we did not find them to be that big of a deal.

@WillS6829588 · Camped on Sep 24, 2023 at Campsite #7

The host was amazing! We needed to make some adjustments to our stay and she went out of her way to keep us from having to change sites half way through our stay.

@DOREENB7997787 · Camped on Sep 19, 2023 at Campsite #18

This COE is beautiful! The grass is no nice, plush and well manicured! The sites are spacious, with the mighty Mississippi River behind us! Good cell coverage! I wish we could have stayed longer!

@DorothyJ7D2404 · Camped on Sep 19, 2023 at Campsite #15

We love this campground! We were here for 9 days in September for a high school reunion. It is close enough to Muscatine to attend all of the activities, but we get to stay along the river and enjoy the sights and sounds that go along with that. This is always our go to place to stay when we come to visit. We really appreciate the concrete pads to park on and the concrete patios in the back loop of the park are great too. The area is always clean and well maintained.

@DouglasS127BA1 · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #35

Nice quiet stop wish there was more river traffic.

@EdB6452854 · Camped on Aug 31, 2023 at Campsite #7

clean campground

@vickiep1DADB70 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #43

Host was great with getting sites picked even though we had to move for the weekend as the original site was booked prior to us staying.

@KarlS9409040 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #3

We stay here once or twice every year. Beautiful views of the river. Sites are concrete and gravel. Nicely leveled. Water access very close.

@StephenB287309 · Camped on Aug 16, 2023 at Campsite #21

Excellent park for campers and rvs.Great boat launches !

@SteveP3205693 · Camped on Aug 12, 2023 at Campsite #24

Camp host was very nice and accommodating. Took care of everything for us to move our site our last day with a better view of the Mississippi River and closer to the bath facilities.

@SeanC6307403 · Camped on Aug 12, 2023 at Campsite #37

Every thing went well and was very family oriented. My 4 year old son and I stayed the night in the camper having no issues with noise. The camper next to us had LEDs flashing all night so that was a little rough. Besides asking fellow campers to not flash lights all night the only other thing I would suggest is water hook ups per campsite. Not being able to hook up to water is kind of a bummer.

@KathrynG296075 · Camped on Jul 26, 2023 at Campsite #29

Our favorite local campground!Beautiful large lots, clean and quiet.

@StephenB287309 · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #13

Shady Creek is a very quiet campground. Nice bathroom facilities. Large sites, cement. Great fire pits. Close by water hydrants.Activities we enjoy while at Shady Creek: hiking at Wildcat Den State Park nearby, kayaking on the river, (boat ramp in the campground) drive into Muscatine to dine, parks for walking, waterfront boardwalk, museum of pearl button industry.Best thing is the Muscatine County Environmental Learning Center! Also there Arboretum. We enjoy Shady Creek, one of our favorite campgrounds!

@FlorenceLB4BB0 · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #24

Very nice campsite. Spacing was adequate and the amenities were good. The showers need updating, but the water is very hot!!!

@CoryR9237379 · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #27

Nice big camp area, clean shower house, new concrete around fire pits keep dirt and rocks out of the camper!

@DorothyJ7D2404 · Camped on Jun 24, 2023 at Campsite #4

We enjoyed our stay at Shady Creek so much this time that we have made reservations for later this year when we will return to Muscatine for a reunion. We always like staying here because it is right on the Mississippi River and it is close to town. Very well maintained campground!

@TadS5505735 · Camped on Sep 30, 2022 at Campsite #43

Nice campground. Always seem to have some breeze off the river! Convenient boat launch.

@CarmW8271916 · Camped on Sep 27, 2022 at Campsite #31

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
