Saulsbury Bridge Recreation Area

How does a sprawling 675-acre natural haven on the Cedar River offering a blend of modern comfort and natural charm sound for your next camping adventure? The Saulsbury Bridge Recreation Area, located just 6.5 miles from Muscatine, Iowa, effortlessly combines accessibility with tranquil isolation. Its inviting campgrounds cater to RVs and tents alike, with options ranging from electrical hookups and modern restroom facilities to primitive sites tucked into serene woodlands. The reconstructed prairie, cedar-studded wetlands, and meandering waterways provide an authentic nature experience, perfect for wildlife spotting or peaceful reflection.

Campers can choose among three distinct campgrounds: the Main Campground offers 50-amp electric hookups, showers, and a playground; the River Campground provides a more rustic setting near the Cedar River; and the walk-in tent sites at Chicken Creek are ideal for those seeking solitude. Enhancing the adventure, visitors can enjoy fishing, kayaking, and hiking, with two spans of the historic Saulsbury Bridge open for scenic views and pedestrian access. Just minutes away from Muscatine, the campground offers a unique blend of nature and convenience, making it an excellent choice for weekend getaways, family trips, or extended outdoor vacations.
