Creek Valley Campground

4 ReviewsAdd Review

The sound of water flowing around much of the property creates a constant backdrop at this privately-managed campground in Dubuque. Creek Valley Campground sits on terrain where a small creek wraps around the perimeter, offering campers the option of sites that back up to forested areas with short walking trails.

Most sites accommodate RVs with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, though some spots provide only water and electric service. The layout favors back-in sites, with several pull-through options available for easier maneuvering. A dump station serves campers who need it, and the property includes a swimming pool with designated adult-only hours after dark. Campers note the atmosphere tends toward quiet, with minimal road noise reaching most sites.

The campground operates on a cash or check payment system, with firewood available through an honor system at $5 for ten pieces. Susan W. notes that "a small creek runs around much of the outside of the property," while other amenities include a small concession area and playground for families. For those exploring the broader region, campsites near Dubuque provide additional options within the Mississippi River valley area.

Reservations help secure preferred sites, particularly those backing to the wooded sections where the short trail system begins.

Many campers appreciated the quiet, peaceful atmosphere and friendly owners. The swimming pool and family activities like Friday movie nights were highlights, though some noted cramped site spacing.

Trip to Mackinac

A little cramped, nice people. We didn't use the pool but it had adults only after dark. Our site backed up to the forest, there's a short trail thru the trees. Most sites have FHU, most are back-in. We had one of the sites with only water and electric. There is a dump station, small concession, playground. A small creek runs around much of the outside of the property.

Nice Quiet Park

This is a great park for those who like peaceful camping. Quite a few pull through sites. Owners are super friendly and helpful. No wifi but firewood is very reasonable on the honor system. 10 pieces for $5.00. Checks or cash only.
