Can anyone recommend a good place for tent camping over a weekend near Dubuque. Hiking will be out main activity, but canoe rentals or other activities would be nice, too.
Camping
Backbone State Park near Strawberry Point is excellent.
Camping
Miller Park and Campground is good but may not be what you are looking for exactly. It is easy to find- Next to the Dubuque Casino. The Mississsippi River is within sight and the follow campers are great. I do not think there is canoe rental and it mostly large campers but the atmosphere is good.
There is a campground just to the south of Dubuque called Swiss Valley park. There is also a nature center there. It is owned by Dubuque County. You could try the Dubuque County website for more info.
We are not campers in general, but my son has camped there several times with his boyscout troop. The nature center is also a popular destination for school field trips.
