Camping near Le Claire, Iowa
Le Claire sits on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Scott County, Iowa, at the northern edge of the Quad Cities metro. RV travelers use the town as a base for exploring both the Iowa and Illinois sides of the river, with campgrounds clustered along the Mississippi and the nearby Rock River. The Great River Road (Highway 67 in Iowa, Route 84 in Illinois) links most of these parks.
Options range from small, wooded riverfront sites to full-service resorts. Camp Hauberg occupies a 40-acre wooded parcel two miles north of Port Byron, Illinois, directly across the Mississippi from Le Claire. Lundeen's Landing Campground and Tube Rentals and Lundeen's Rock River Landing sit on the Rock River in the Quad Cities area, offering waterfront sites with paddle-sport rentals. Sun Retreats Rock River in Hillsdale runs a larger resort-style operation with a pool, mini-golf, and a private lake. Geneseo Campground, roughly 30 miles southeast just off I-80, provides pull-through RV sites along the Hennepin Canal.
All five parks are accessible by paved roads and accommodate travel trailers and Class C rigs.
Things to do around Le Claire
The Mississippi River drives most activity. Fishing, boating, and river cruises depart from Le Claire's downtown, and Antique Archaeology (the American Pickers shop) sits within walking distance of the riverfront. The Buffalo Bill Museum covers the town's steamboat history and its namesake resident who was born nearby.
On the water, the Rock River provides calmer conditions for tubing, kayaking, and canoeing. Lundeen's Landing Campground and Tube Rentals rents tubes for float trips, and several area campgrounds keep kayaks and canoes on site.
Families with kids can reach Niabi Zoo, the Figge Art Museum in downtown Davenport, and the Family Museum in Bettendorf within a 20- to 30-minute drive. Cyclists have access to the Mississippi River Trail on the Iowa side and the Hennepin Canal trail farther south near Geneseo.

Public campgrounds run by the Rock Island County Forest Preserve District generally open the first weekend in April and close the last weekend of October, weather permitting.
