Hi
We are looking for campgrounds along the Iowa Illinois border from Quad cities north to Galena Illinois. Either side is fine would prefer full hookups and 50 amp.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thompson Causeway is a nice COE Park. Not FHU but have 50 amp and very clean restrooms. Also newer dump station. We had an awesome view of the Mississippi River from our site.

Fishermans Corner, just north of Moline, right along the Mississippi. Its a COE campground. some 50 amps. I have a 36' fiver, site #5. stayed there twice. Little tight to get in. Great street view on google maps. takes you through the campground, you can see the sites and numbers. Also Just south to there same road is a county park. they have water and electric at the sites. There are several COE campgrounds along the river. Discount if you're a senior. Mississippi Palisades, is a nice park a little further North. State park nice haven't been there in a few year. Good luck.

Clinton, Iowa has a nice one by the river. I think it was a city park. Passing through it was great.

Check out COE parks, We stayed at several on our trip up Great River Road. Usually not FHU, but most are 50A & W. Inexpensive also, especially with a Senior Pass or Access Pass.

I suppose it depends on how close to the river you want to be.
Here are a couple off the top of my head. Can't say about hookups, as we rarely camp at FHU sites.
