Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights13 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.
Fishermans Corner sits on a high stretch of the upper Mississippi where the river's wide channel, a nearby aquatic marsh by Locks and Dam 14, and a ribbon of floodplain woods shape the view. Mornings often bring turtle-lined rocks and a steady parade of water and songbirds, and bald eagles concentrate on the river in winter, making the campground a favored spot for eagle watching.



Length limits vary by campsite.
Some sites have no hookups.
Showers on site. Dump station on site.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (21,609 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
