With impressive views of the mighty Mississippi River, Fishermans Corner provides convenient RV and tent camping facilities for outdoor enthusiasts. The lush river landscape provides plenty of shade, and activities from water sports to hiking to wildlife viewing. Eagle watching is particularly popular during the winter months at Fishermans Corner.
Although there is no river access from within the campground, the Fishermans Corner Day Use facility is a short walk away and offers numerous fishing areas as well as a canoe ramp. Visitors can also catch a weekly educational program at the amphitheater located within the campground.
The Central Trail section of the famous Mississippi River Trail passes directly in front of the campground, offering visitors miles of walking and biking trails along the river bank. The expansive Elton E. Fawks Bald Eagle Refuge and Nature Preserve and the Illiniwek Forest Preserve are also located just minutes away.
Of the 51 reservable campsites, 46 campsites have electric hookups and 5 campsites do not have electric hookups and are for tents only.
Fisherman's Corner provides the comforts of modern camping, including drinking water, a shower house, electric hook-ups, flush toilets, while still providing visitors with an authentic outdoor experience.
Fishermans Corner offers an excellent view of a small aquatic marsh near Locks and Dam 14, which is home to an array of wildlife species. On any given morning visitors may see turtles sunning on rocks near the river bed or countless bird species hunting the shallow waters for food.
The scenery during camping season never disappoints, whether it's the vivid greenery during the spring or the breathtaking medley of colors during the fall.
The John Deere Pavilion, an interactive museum spanning almost 200 years of the famous American agricultural company's history is located a convenient 20-minutes away by car. For a more exotic experience, the Botanical Center located in Rock Island, features an array of colorful plant species located in both indoor and outdoor gardens.

We have stayed there 3 times and loved it. This time the campground was full. The host helped us find another campground. Incredibly helpful. We are so grateful.
Love it, so spaciousness, very clean, is pet friendly I went for the weekend with my puppy, the view is incredible ♥️
A park almost too good to leave a review and let others know about. Well kept, easy access off the intestate right on the banks of the Mississippi. Super easy self serve check in.
Easy to get to. Very nice campsites. Easy hookups. Nice camper pad. Fire pit grill. Shower house was very clean easy to use.
Easy booking & check in experience. The campsite is not that big, bathrooms are clean. Plenty of extra parking spaces. Close to roads and the river.
The only flaw was that We booked 55 &56 which are furthest down spots near one of the designated parking lots & restroom. Which means there was a street light and I wish there was a way to know that because it was quite bright at night that my kids would not sleep :/ other tent spots seemed dark. Not a biggie but definitely worth noting.
