Scott County Park - Eldridge, Iowa

Great area with lots of playgrounds for kids. Tons of hiking, biking & horse trails. Bathrooms & all other buildings are very clean & well maintained. Make sure you enter the south entrance, not only to check in but all the signs for each campground faces that direction. Camp sites are paved & very nice in the Bald Eagle & Woodside campgrounds. Definitely ready to stay here again.

Scott County Park is a beautiful well-kept park it is only a few minutes off of Highway 61 and it’s about 10 minutes North from interstate 80. They have four RV areas. One wilderness camping area and two other tent areas. They do not allow firewood brought into the park unless it is professionally wrapped. Or bought from a store.
They have play grounds for young children located all over the park, they also have a big swimming pool. They have mountain biking trails and horse trails located in this park.
They also have five shelters in this park that are available to rent out. There are three cabins that you can rent. They have a nice pond for fishing or kayaking also.
Also check out their 18 hole golf course.
Stop and take a break from driving have a picnic or just sit back in some lawn chairs and relax or go for a nice walk

This visit was about checking the park out for future camping site. Wow is all I can say. One of the nicest parks I've been too but then my world is pretty small lol.

Update..................

Finally made it back for camping. Spent 4 days and enjoyed what this park had to offer.
We had some excitement on the second evening. Tornado touched down just North of the park. 80 mph gusts in the park. Not only is this one of the nicest state parks I've been too, the bad weather showed me the staff in action. I've been camping during bad weather before, but the staff at this park knocked my socks off with their quick reactions and professionalism. They went above and beyond to get us safe and keep us in loop as to what was going on, hats off to staff!
I can't say enough good about this park. 1000+ acres of park, multiple campgrounds ranging from full hookup sites to full on primitive. Fish were even biting :). Large swimming pool with water slides. Don't pass this place up if looking for a nice park to spend the weekend in. For the bird watchers, this park is the nesting area of the rare Led Zep Ramble On. I could ramble on some more but I think you get the point.

Beautiful walk. Wide paths and streams of water with little bridges to cross. Easy parking.

For a newer campground it has its positives and negatives.
Positive - concrete and asphalt pads make for easy leveling and a clean trailer, the full hook ups including sewer are a plus. This makes your honey happy when they can take long showers. The campground host was an extremely nice gentleman and they seem to take very good care of the grounds. But my most favorite thing was that by 9 every night all lights and stereos and noise were turned off allowing people to enjoy a quiet evening.
Negative - the only thing - we have about the whole place would be the lack of trees and close proximity to other campsites. But you give up amenities sometimes for seclusion.
All-in-all great little camp ground and we really enjoyed our time there. And they've got good mountain bike trails for riding.

I am very impressed with this park. Several large, clean, well-maintained campgrounds. We stayed in the Incahias campground. Lots of large shade trees. Pull through spots. Price very reasonable. Driving from the west coast to here, this may be my favorite campground. Bring plenty of blocking as the gravel pads tend to be fairly uneven. The only negative thing I can say is that the 🚻 restrooms could use some updating though they are very usable. If I am in the area again, I will definitely stay here again.

We stayed in the newest campground here. It’s awesome. Concrete pads on all with full 50amp hookups. Our site, 500, is a little angled back but not much to level.
Park is clean. Pool is a community pool that we drove over too. It is big and has a baby pool, splash pad, slides and diving boards. I counted at least 9 lifeguards.
If in the area we’d come back again.

We got a cabin for 2 nights over spring break. Very clean, quiet and just what we needed. WiFi allowed us to watch the NCAA tournament with a Roku and TV we brought along from home. Park ranger was very nice and went above and beyond delivering firewood directly to our cabin. Would highly recommend!
