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
