Spring Lake Campground was est. in 1943. This “vintage campground” has provided a place for families to relax in nature and make memories for generations. The lake is a backwater Mississippi River refuge, so there is always something to see and learn about. The Great River Bike Trail runs right through, so bring your bike! It’s a beautiful ride from the campground to nearby Savanna, IL. We rent kayaks and canoes through September. The lake is great to paddle but be aware there is a lot of plant life on the backwaters. (The lake closes for all boat traffic Oct 1 to provide a refuge for migrating birds during duck hunting season. If you enjoy birding, plan a trip during October) With this abundant plant life, shore fishing becomes challenging as the summer progresses. We offer canoe and kayak rentals as an option to get out on the lake. There is so much to do in the surrounding area: hiking and climbing at Palisades State Park, restaurants, bars and shopping in Savanna, "Troll hunting" in Clinton, IA, museums and more. But enjoying a peaceful time at the campground, having a bonfire, watching the sunset on the lake and seeing the stars at night is really what it’s about. True old school camping, enjoying the wildlife sanctuary. Instead of pavement, we have trees. Our best amenity is nature! Get outside, unplug and relax.
*While is says maximum capacity 4, if you are a family with more kids submit a specific request. We can make exceptions for families camping with their children.
*We DO allow small campers on the peninsula like teardrops and Scamps but no generators please.
*We ask that our campers please arrive before dark to find their site and set up to avoid disrupting other campers. It gets really dark! We do not have street lights so people can see the stars.
*please note you are Requesting the site not instantly booking. We will respond to your request ASAP and all requests are pending.

Weekend Trip to Bear Bottom Ranch
Lovely secluded site! Easy to find and drive right in. Nice picnic table to sit at and cook. The fire pit was spacious and well contained. Had a few spots to hang a hammock. Appreciated the site was well mowed and we didn’t have to worry too much about ticks or insects. We didn’t use the Tipi but was cute for ambience. Some scrap firewood provided but I’d suggest bringing in plenty of your own. Would love to come back!

Great site. The owners were very kind and had 3 beautiful off leash dogs. Endless firewood supplied. Two horses nearby that you could watch. Isolated campgrounds but close enough to the other sites for comfort.

The Tipi spot was absolutely wonderful. It was a big space with room for our dog to run off leash, surrounded by beautiful woods. There was a wonderful sunrise over a hill on the east side of the property. The porta potty is far enough that you don’t have to look at it from your site, but close enough that it’s a short walk. The potable water is a little further walk but again, not that bad. The tipi itself was incredible. Our kids slept in it but could easily fit our family of four. There was a picnic table and a nice big fire ring. There were campers at the other spots but we still felt private and secluded.

I had a great time staying in the pod on Nance’s land with my dog. She was a great host! It’s behind the barn and in its own area. Other campers were there and I didn’t hear them. I had a campfire under the trees where I could look up at the fire and see the stars. It was fun to explore on her land. I meditated on one of the two platforms in the open field area. Very calming listening to nature. The barn was nice to use her burners to make coffee and she has refrigerators in there to store food.

We loved our stay at this peaceful countryside ranch! The setting was absolutely gorgeous, with rolling fields and farm animals adding to the charm. The fully renovated ranch was cozy, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, blending modern amenities with a quaint, rustic feel. We came to stargaze for the Perseid meteor shower, and the clear, dark skies made for an unforgettable night under the stars. It was the perfect spot to relax, unplug, and enjoy the quiet. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a serene getaway.

Really great little spot right off Spring Lake. The tiny house was really cute, clean, and nicely organized. A cute spot tucked away from the rest of the camp and short walk to camp store. Camp store was nice and we rented kayaks. Having a warm clean shower (attached to the camp store) was a real treat. Really cool the great river bike trail runs directly through camp store

Amazing campsite. We had 9 people, a dog, and 4 tents set up and still had tons of space so we didn’t feel crowded. The tipi was really cool and the hammock and hammock chair that were on the site were nice. We had a great time and will definitely be going back in the spring!

SUCH a great experience! First time staying in a Tipi and it was amazing. We felt so safe, there was so much room, there is even a little notch that lets you “lock” the tipi. It’s right next to the horses, so we got to say hello to them. There is also a hammock and beautiful swinging chair. It was a huge site and so beautiful. I would definitely come back! I will say the bathroom is a bit far so be prepared and bring a table+chairs!
