COVID-19 Announcement
Dear Guest,
We are fully open to serve our camping guest. All bathhouse and laundry facilities are available for use with enhance cleaning schedules but we remind you that you still use the facilities at your own risk. Our camp store is still curbside only and open from 9am until 8pm. We are hoping to provide full indoor service very soon.
Our pool will open mid-May. This year we will also reopen the hot tub and spray park. We will allow attendance based on the department of health rule in affect at the time. Day use guests will again be welcome every day of the week excluding holidays.
The state of Illinois continues to require masking in all public areas where social distancing cannot be maintained. As most activities in our park are outside social distancing is easy. Your
site is considered a private space and all masking rules are at the option of the guest while at their site. Our goal has always been to provide you with the best and most memorable of camping experiences. We think 2021 will be a great year to camp and enjoy outdoor recreation.
Thanks for your understanding,
John Downing and The Rock Island at Camelot Team
Welcome To
Rock Island / Quad Cities KOA Campground
We’re Glad You’re Here!
Welcome to ordinary not extraordinary. Everyone claims to be extraordinary, the best, but is it true? We claim to be ordinary as a campground and RV park, with ordinary owners and employees.
You have heard it all before, “we are the best, we are world class”, Well, we, at Rock Island KOA are just like you and every day we do what we can to get it right. We try our best, but we make mistakes and we do not always fix them right the first time. We don’t always smile and sometimes the pressures make us a bit grumpy. Our facilities don’t always standup to the test of great, perfect, or the best that people demand. Some sites are short and fat, some long and skinny. Our lake does not have clear water; it’s muddy like the nearby mighty Mississippi. We have annoying bugs, birds, animals, trees and sometimes weather. All we can offer is an opportunity to recreate in the great outdoors. We will try a deliver a great experience but we don’t always succeed. We still wish to invite you to stay with us if we have not frightened you away. Come get back to nature, and all the ordinary it may bring you, during this extraordinary time.
Your hosts: the Downing family
