About Miller Riverview Park & Campground
Campground in Iowa.
Miller Riverview Park & Campground sits along the banks of the Mississippi River in Dubuque, Iowa, offering RV travelers a scenic riverside escape in one of the Midwest's most charming historic towns. Located at 1851 Admiral Sheehy Drive, this public campground provides easy access to both the natural beauty of the river and the cultural attractions that make Dubuque a destination worth exploring.
The Mississippi River has long been America's most iconic waterway, and camping along its shores gives you a front-row seat to the constant flow of barge traffic, stunning sunsets, and the gentle sounds of flowing water. There's something deeply peaceful about waking up to river views and spending your evenings watching the water reflect the changing light. For RV travelers who appreciate natural beauty and a slower pace, this location delivers exactly that experience.
Dubuque itself is steeped in history and character. The city was one of the first settlements in Iowa and retains that pioneer spirit while embracing modern attractions. The Historic Millwork District has been revitalized with shops, restaurants, and galleries that reflect the area's industrial heritage. Visitors can explore the Dubuque Museum of Art, visit the famous Eagle Centre, or take a scenic drive through the surrounding bluffs and valleys that define this region of northeast Iowa.
The area around Miller Riverview Park is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The Mississippi River corridor offers excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, and bird watching. Several state parks and natural areas are within easy driving distance, providing hiking trails and scenic overlooks. The Mines of Spain Recreation Area offers miles of trails and stunning views of the river valley.

Changed our campsite day before we arrived but the new site was better with a good view of the water. Bathroom needed a cleaning but was ok. Sites have electric only

I didn't camp So I don't know how well this review will be received. I went to the campground on the 3rd of July to watch the airshow and fireworks. We had to park at guest parking by the bathrooms and shower and walk down to the river bank and set up to watch. There wasn't much parking available. But it seemed like EVERY SINGLE campground spot was taken. There were predictions for extreme severe... I didn't camp So I don't know how well this review will be received.

There wasn't much parking available. But it seemed like EVERY SINGLE campground spot was taken. There were predictions for extreme severe weather so we ended up leaving before the show. The bathrooms were really hot and humid.

WAY TOO MUCH PUBLIC TRAFFIC!! No signage indicating dead end, campers only. Bathrooms are dirty and run down. Host site? Look’s abandoned. Kind of scary. But we are ON the river and THAT is beautiful!! Dubuque needs to step up and tend this park!!

October here at this campground is just stunning. The boats going by, river in the leaves changing the back/West side of the campground isolated from all the noise of Dubuque. The east side is the Mississippi river. There are a few 200 foot pull throughs. The rest are very expansive campsites. A little bit of road noise from the highway going over the bridge. And a couple of trains didn’t bother... October here at this campground is just stunning.

And a couple of trains didn’t bother us in a bit pet friendly there is a bathhouse that is really nice and really cute ship shaped playground set. They like it quiet here several rules deal with just being quiet fancy casino is quarter-mile on the other side of the trees places to eat nearby.

Very nice campground on Mississippi River. Manager, Mike, is very helpful. Each site for RVS has electricity, a picnic table, and fire pit. There is a paved bicycle path for a comfortable ride. Can fish if you want. I felt safe here. Beautiful trees. Have camped here 2 times. Will definitely go again!!
