Positioned on the western banks of the Mississippi River and close to Davenport is the picturesque city of Clinton. Clinton is unique as the establishment of the county was approved by special legislation in the 1840s, allowing a local government and new county seat to be organized in the area.

The city is named Clinton after DeWitt Clinton, a former New York governor who helped organize the construction of the Erie Canal. Clinton is the perfect place to rent an RV if you're looking to explore the eastern edges of Iowa while enjoying the history of this beautiful city.

The Great Outdoors

When you book an RV in Clinton, you'll be right next to the Mississippi River, one of America's most famous waterways. Clinton has a few riverside parks, and one of the best to visit is Eagle Point Park. This 200-acre park offers breathtaking views across the river with plenty of vantage points from high stone ridges and even a beautiful stone tower. There are plenty of recreation activities, including sports fields, playgrounds, and hiking trails. The north end of the park offers views across the Mississippi River's widest bank, making it the perfect place for a family photo.

If you're looking for the perfect hiking trail when you have a camper rental in Clinton, then the Discovery Trail is a must. This trail stretches for nine miles north along the Mississippi River and ends at Eagle Point Park. This trail is paved, making it ideal for a bike ride or a walk with your pup and offers scenic views off the rocky bluffs which line the Mississippi River's western shoreline. It also takes you past many historic sights including the Clinton Area Showboat Theater, an old tugboat re-imagined as a performance space.

By crossing over into Illinois and continuing north, you'll find the beautiful Mississippi Palisades State Park. This state park covers over 2,500 acres of land and is home to some of the best views of the Mississippi River. Visitors will follow historic trails laid out by the Native Americans who initially explored the area 1,000 years ago, with rocky bluffs and viewing platforms scattered along the 15-mile trail. Other activities include fishing for catfish and carp, and if you're feeling especially adventurous, rock climbing and geocaching are also on offer.
