Campgrounds near East Moline, Illinois
East Moline sits on the north bank of the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities region, with the Rock River joining just to the south. That combination gives RV travelers two very different waterways to base a trip around, plus quick access to Iowa across the bridges in Moline and Bettendorf.
Campground options within a short drive skew toward private, river-focused parks rather than large state park systems. Lundeen's Landing Campground and Tube Rentals and Lundeen's Rock River Landing both sit at 21119 Barstow Road in East Moline on the Rock River, offering RV and tent sites with direct water access. The Rock Island / Quad Cities KOA Holiday is roughly a 20-minute drive southwest across the river, and Interstate RV Park serves travelers on the Iowa side near Davenport.
Upriver on the Mississippi, Camp Hauberg occupies a 40-acre wooded parcel about 2 miles north of Port Byron, Illinois, along the Great River Road. Together these parks cover full-hookup RV resorts, family-friendly river camps, and quieter wooded sites.
Things to do near East Moline
Water recreation drives most trips. Lundeen's rents kayaks, canoes, and paddle boats, and fishing access is available directly along the Rock River. Float trips down the Rock River, paddling near Lake George, and exploring the Andalusia Slough are common day plans from the East Moline campgrounds.
On the Mississippi side, Camp Hauberg offers river fishing and boating, access to scenic bicycle trails, plus horseshoes, a basketball court, playground equipment, and a modern shower house. A bike and walking path runs along Highway 84, following the Great River Road route.
In the Quad Cities themselves, families typically add the John Deere Pavilion, riverfront trails, and Rock Island Arsenal to the itinerary. Casinos, museums, and dinner cruises round out the rainy-day options.

The primary RV season runs late spring through October. Lundeen's Landing operates May 1 through October 31, which is typical for the private Rock River parks. Camp Hauberg lists open year-round, but winter services are limited and river access becomes weather-dependent.
Summer is peak. Around Moline, summers are long, warm, and humid, while winters are cold and snowy. July and August bring the busiest weekends, especially around Quad Cities festivals and holiday fireworks. Book several weeks ahead for Fourth of July and Labor Day.
Spring and fall are quieter and often more comfortable for touring, but river levels matter. The Rock and Mississippi rivers can rise quickly after heavy rain, and flooding does occur in this stretch. Check current river forecasts before booking a low-lying site in April or May.
How to book campgrounds near East Moline
Most campgrounds in this area take reservations directly rather than through a state portal. Lundeen's Rock River Landing is bookable through Campspot at 21119 Barstow Rd, and Lundeen's Landing also lists on third-party platforms like Good Sam and Hipcamp. Rock Island / Quad Cities KOA Holiday reserves through the standard KOA site and app.
Camp Hauberg accepts reservations by phone at 309-523-2168, and reservations are required for staying at the campground. Interstate RV Park books directly through the park.
For summer weekends, aim to reserve four to eight weeks in advance. Big-rig travelers should confirm site length and hookup amperage when calling: Lundeens Landing has 50 amp electric, water, and sewer hookups and accommodates vehicles up to 65 feet, while Camp Hauberg sites are equipped with 30 amp electric service and water hookups.
What to expect on-site
Expect river-oriented, community-style campgrounds rather than manicured resorts. Lundeen's features 30/50 amp pull-through sites, boat docks, and canoe, kayak, and tube rentals, with a dump station, showers, and family-friendly activities on summer weekends.
Sites vary in width. Reviewers frequently note tight spacing at the private Rock River parks, and check-in runs 1 to 4 PM, so plan arrival accordingly. Cell coverage is generally solid throughout the Quad Cities corridor.
At Camp Hauberg, many sites are occupied by permanent campers, but visitors can still find spots, especially in the tent camping area. Bring bug spray, expect train noise near riverside sites along the IL-84 corridor, since train tracks parallel this same corridor, and confirm fire-ring rules at check-in.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near East Moline, IL
How much does it cost to rent an RV in East Moline, IL?
An RV rental in East Moline is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Quad Cities and the Mississippi River Valley. Motorhomes near East Moline average around $200 per night, while towable travel trailers run closer to $120 per night, with most hosts offering 10 to 20% discounts on weekly and monthly bookings. You can stretch your budget further by traveling in the shoulder months of April, May, or October, when both rental rates and campground fees dip noticeably. Pro tip: filter for Instant Book listings to lock in availability for John Deere Classic week or summer weekends along the Mississippi, when local demand spikes and the best-priced rigs go fast.
visitquadcities.com/Do I need a special license to rent an RV in East Moline, IL?
Good news: for the vast majority of RV rentals in East Moline, your regular driver's license is all you need. Illinois has weight-based licensing rules, but the Class B and Class C motorhomes and travel trailers most renters book on RVezy fall well under the 16,000-pound Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) threshold that triggers an upgraded Illinois non-Commercial Driver's License (non-CDL). Out-of-state visitors are simply recognized under their home-state license. You'll need to be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the platform during checkout. Visiting from abroad? Grab an International Driving Permit from your local auto association before your trip and you're set to roll out toward the Mississippi.
ilsos.gov/departments/drivers/drivers_license/classifications.htmlWhat protection comes with my East Moline RV rental?
Every RVezy booking in East Moline automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Interstate 80 or the Great River Road with real peace of mind. You choose your protection level (Standard, Premium, or Peace of Mind) during checkout, and each plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip at different deductible levels. This isn't traditional auto insurance, but it's designed specifically for peer-to-peer RV rentals and removes the biggest worry first-time renters have. If you need help on the road, one phone call connects you to roadside support, whether you're parked at Illiniwek Forest Preserve or rolling through downtown Davenport across the river.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Quad Cities plans change?
Booking an RV rental in East Moline is low-risk because RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy for every reservation on the platform. There's a grace period after booking where you can cancel for a full refund, and additional refund tiers apply based on how far out you cancel from your trip start date. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or provides travel credits so your trip plans aren't left in limbo. You can review the full, current cancellation details on RVezy's Help Center before you confirm. Pro tip: book early for John Deere Classic week or Fourth of July fireworks on the riverfront, then relax knowing you have flexibility.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I find a pet-friendly RV rental in East Moline?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in East Moline is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on the search page and you'll see listings from local hosts who happily welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) along for the ride. Once you're on the road, your pup will love stretching their legs at Ben Butterworth Parkway along the Mississippi riverfront in Moline, the off-leash dog area at Empire Park in East Moline, or the wooded trails at Loud Thunder Forest Preserve in nearby Illinois City. Many Quad Cities campgrounds, including Illiniwek Forest Preserve in Hampton, also allow leashed pets. Message the host before booking to confirm any pet fees or breed notes.
eastmoline.com/Can the RV be delivered to my campground or driveway in East Moline?
Yes, RV delivery in East Moline is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who'd rather skip driving a big rig through the Quad Cities. Many local hosts will deliver and set up the RV right at your campsite at Illiniwek Forest Preserve, Loud Thunder Forest Preserve, the Rock Island/Quad Cities KOA Holiday, or even your own driveway. They'll level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees are set by each host and depend on distance and RV size. Filter for Delivery on the search page, then message the host with your destination address to get an exact quote.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=East%20Moline,%20IllinoisHow far can I drive on an East Moline RV trip and how does mileage work?
East Moline sits at the crossroads of Interstates 80, 74, and 88, making it a fantastic launchpad for an RV road trip from East Moline in almost any direction. Each RVezy host sets their own mileage policy, with many offering generous daily allowances and some listings featuring RV rental with unlimited mileage for true road-trippers. To put it in perspective from East Moline: Starved Rock State Park is about 90 miles east, Chicago about 165 miles, Galena and the Mississippi bluffs about 95 miles north, and St. Louis roughly 270 miles south. Check the mileage section of any listing before booking, and message the host if you want to add extra miles to your package.
idot.illinois.gov/Where are the best campgrounds near East Moline, IL?
You're spoiled for choice with great campgrounds near East Moline. Illiniwek Forest Preserve in Hampton sits right on the Mississippi River just minutes north of town and offers RV sites with electric hookups. Loud Thunder Forest Preserve in Illinois City covers 1,480 acres around Lake George with full-hookup pull-throughs at Deer Haven and electric/water sites at White Oak. The Rock Island/Quad Cities KOA Holiday is a polished family favorite about 15 minutes away. Lundeen's Landing in East Moline sits along the Rock River with tubing and canoe rentals. For a wilder feel, Fishermans Corner Campground in Hampton is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers park with eagle-watching in winter.
ricfpd.org/campingWhen is the best time of year for RV camping in East Moline?
The sweet spot for RV camping in East Moline runs from late April through mid-October, when daytime highs climb from the 60s into the mid-80s and the Mississippi River Valley is at its most inviting. July is the warmest month with average highs around 85°F, and it's also when the John Deere Classic PGA tournament rolls into nearby Silvis. September and early October are an insider favorite: bug-free, leaves turning along the Great River Road, and noticeably lower campground rates. Winter rentals are possible for hardy travelers (think bald-eagle watching along the Mississippi in January), but expect freezing temperatures and snow, so look specifically for winterized listings.
weather.gov/dvn/I've never rented an RV before. How does it work in East Moline?
First time renting an RV? You're going to love how smooth RVezy makes it in East Moline. Every host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through the generator, slide-outs, water hookups, waste tanks, and driving tips specific to their rig. You can message any host directly from their listing before you book to ask questions, and many offer delivery so you don't even have to drive the RV yourself. Start with a Class C motorhome or a smaller travel trailer if you're nervous, and plan a low-key first night at Illiniwek Forest Preserve, just 10 minutes north on the Mississippi, before tackling a longer route.
visitquadcities.com/What happens if something goes wrong with my RV on the road?
You're never on your own with an RVezy rental in East Moline. Every booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so whether you've got a flat tire on Interstate 80, a dead battery at Loud Thunder Forest Preserve, or a lockout in a Davenport parking lot, one phone call gets help dispatched. Your host is typically just a text away to troubleshoot the RV's specific systems, like resetting the generator or freeing a stuck slide. RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after your trip too. Save the roadside number to your phone before you pull out of the pickup driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best road trips from East Moline?
An RV road trip from East Moline can take you in five fantastic directions. Head north on the Great River Road (Illinois Route 84) about 95 miles to Galena and Mississippi Palisades State Park for bluff-top views. Drive east on I-80 roughly 90 miles to Starved Rock State Park for canyon hiking. Continue east about 165 miles to Chicago for big-city skyline camping near Lake Michigan. Head south about 165 miles down US-67 to Springfield for Lincoln history. Or cross the Mississippi into Iowa and drive 80 miles north to the Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville. Travel between the U.S. and Canada may be possible depending on host approval, but Mexico travel isn't permitted on RVezy rentals.
www2.illinois.gov/dnr/Parks/Pages/default.aspxWhat should I budget for fuel on an East Moline RV trip?
Fuel is usually the biggest variable cost of any East Moline RV trip, so it pays to plan ahead. Class C motorhomes typically get 8 to 12 miles per gallon (MPG), Class B campervans 15 to 20 MPG, and a tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer around 10 to 14 MPG. Illinois gas prices generally run a bit above the national average, while crossing into Iowa (literally minutes from East Moline) can shave 20 to 40 cents per gallon, so many locals fill up in Bettendorf or Davenport before a long haul. Budget roughly $0.30 to $0.60 per mile for fuel and you'll have a realistic ballpark for your Quad Cities adventure.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far ahead should I book a campground near East Moline?
For peak summer weekends near East Moline, aim to book your campsite 2 to 4 months in advance, especially for full-hookup sites at Loud Thunder Forest Preserve or the Rock Island/Quad Cities KOA Holiday. Loud Thunder opens online reservations on March 1 each year through the Rock Island County Forest Preserve District's WebTrac system, and the popular Deer Haven full-hookup pull-throughs fill up fast for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and John Deere Classic week. Illiniwek Forest Preserve in Hampton is first-come, first-served, so arrive by Thursday for a weekend spot. Mid-week and shoulder-season campers can often grab sites just days ahead, no reservation gymnastics required.
ricfpd.org/campingWhat are driving conditions like around East Moline?
East Moline is one of the easier Midwest cities to drive an RV in, with wide, flat roads and well-marked interstates connecting Illinois and Iowa across the Mississippi River. The I-74 Mississippi River Bridge between Moline and Bettendorf is the main crossing and handles RVs comfortably. Watch for occasional low railroad underpasses in older parts of the Quad Cities and avoid downtown Davenport's narrow riverfront streets in a Class A. Winter brings snow and ice from late November through March, while spring can bring brief Mississippi River flooding on low-lying river roads. Check the Illinois Department of Transportation's GettingAroundIllinois.com road conditions site before any winter trip.
gettingaroundillinois.com/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near East Moline?
Campgrounds near East Moline range from basic state-park-style sites to full-resort experiences, so you can match amenities to your trip. Loud Thunder Forest Preserve offers full-hookup pull-throughs at Deer Haven (water, electric, and sewer) plus a dump station at the Horse Corral area. The Rock Island/Quad Cities KOA Holiday adds a pool, Wi-Fi, and a camp store. Illiniwek Forest Preserve provides electric sites with shower buildings and is steps from the Mississippi. For dumping and fresh-water fills between trips, Loud Thunder's central dump station is the most reliable public option in the area. Pro tip: most Quad Cities campgrounds shut off water lines from late October through early April due to freezing.
ricfpd.org/campingWhat features and amenities will my East Moline RV rental include?
Most motorhome and campervan rentals in East Moline come fully equipped for a comfortable trip out of the box. Expect a queen or king bed, a kitchen with a fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with shower and toilet, a furnace and air conditioning, and seatbelts for everyone on board. Class C motorhomes and larger travel trailers usually include a TV and sometimes a generator for off-grid power, and many hosts offer add-ons like portable Wi-Fi hotspots, bike racks, camp chairs, and outdoor grills. Kitchen kits and bedding are often included or available as a small add-on. Each listing's amenities section spells out exactly what's included, so you'll know before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=East%20Moline,%20IllinoisWhat add-ons and pickup options do East Moline hosts offer?
East Moline hosts make customizing your rental easy. Popular add-ons include delivery and setup to your campground (often $2 to $4 per mile), generator use, portable Wi-Fi, bike racks, kayak racks, camping chairs and tables, propane fills, and pet cleaning fees. Pickup is usually at the host's address, often within 15 minutes of downtown East Moline or the Quad Cities International Airport (MLI) in Moline, which is convenient if you're flying in. Mileage policies vary by listing, with some hosts including 100 to 150 free miles per day and others offering unlimited mileage packages. Always confirm pickup time, drop-off time, and any extras directly with the host through RVezy's messaging before booking.
flyqc.com/How does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy in East Moline?
Payment for your RV rental in East Moline is handled securely through RVezy, so you never hand cash or a check to the host. You pay your booking total (rental, fees, and chosen protection level) right on the platform when you confirm. A separate security deposit hold is placed on your credit card a few days before pickup and is released after the trip if there's no damage or policy violation. To avoid issues at drop-off, take time-stamped photos of the RV inside and out at pickup and return, refill propane and fuel to the agreed level, and dump the tanks at Loud Thunder's dump station or a local truck stop before bringing it back.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I take my East Moline RV rental across the river into Iowa or further?
Yes, cross-state travel from East Moline is not only allowed on most RVezy rentals, it's part of the fun, since you're literally minutes from the Iowa border. Crossing the I-74 or I-280 bridges into Bettendorf, Davenport, or LeClaire is completely standard, and longer hauls to Wisconsin, Missouri, or even out to the Rockies are popular too. Canadian travel may be allowed depending on the host and the protection package selected, so message the host first to confirm. Travel into Mexico isn't permitted on RVezy rentals because the protection coverage doesn't extend there. Pro tip: a quick day trip up Iowa's Great River Road to LeClaire (about 25 minutes) is a perfect first outing.
