Camping at Bulger's Hollow Recreation Area near Clinton

Public campground · Clinton · 1 campsite

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups.

About this campground

5 miles north of Clinton, Iowa, reached by following Highway 67 and then a short, mostly gravel mile to the park entrance. The site looks out over Pool 13 and a broad field of lily pads that anglers favor for bass and panfish; a gravel boat launch gives direct access to the pool and makes the campground a common put-in for people chasing backwater sloughs and quiet fishing spots up and downriver.
