Scott County Park Campground

This county park was a pleasant surprise as we were passing through town. We arrived in the afternoon and got to pick our site. There are at least 6 campgrounds here ranging from rustic to full hook up. We chose Incahias which is water and electric with a dump station. This park is absolutely enormous and it would be fun to come back when we have more time to explore. Our area was open and sunny but felt relatively private with views out to the corn fields.

Park is first come first served, no reservations so on some days park may be crowded and you may not get exactly what you wanted, but I don’t think there are any “bad” places. There are actually several campgrounds within the park. Some are primitive, one has electric but no water at the site, one has electric and water at the site, and one (Bald Eagle) has electric/water/sewer at site. Bald Eagle NEVER had an empty space (we drove through every day), so getting a space there is like hitting the lottery. Bald Eagle has almost no shade, the others have nice shade. There is an additional campground under construction, but again it has no cover. Rangers are courteous and friendly. All in all, a great stay.

What a surprise! This is a very large county park with camping options that range from full hookups to primitive. Over 100 spaces and mostly grassy with pretty good room in between - We camped on the Incahaias loop which had water and electric and really beautiful mature trees. Bugs were not bad, mostly flys and firefly at night. The rangers keep things clean and civil and are circling the 5 loops hourly. This is a place you could stay for a few days to hike and bike - the only thing missing is a cool lake to swim in.

We stayed one night at Pine Grove Campground on our way out west. Restrooms were closed due to COVID-19, but everything else seemed well maintained. It is a larger park than we expected and if we ever come back we will make sure to leave time to explore the trails. It looks like people start to park on spots on Thursday, so weekend arrivals may want to come early. We got lucky and camped on the last spot available when we came in around 9:00 pm on a Thursday.

This review is for the Bald Eagle Campground within the 1200+ acre Scott County Park. This is the only campground in the park with full hookups and has asphalt pads. The spacing between sites was decent for a public campground. Our site and the majority of the other sites fit our motorhome and tow vehicle. Our site and about half of the others were level enough not to need blocks. Many of the sites, including ours, had little to no shade. The trees just haven't grown tall enough yet since the campground was built in 2004. The utility hookups are at the back of sites and 10 feet+ away. The campground is about 15 minutes north of the quad cities area.
