Miller Riverview Park and campground will open for limited camping June 18, 2011.
The park and campground have been closed due to spring flooding of the Mississippi River and the subsequent clean-up. Read on for details regarding camp site reservations.
The park and campground will open for limited camping beginning at 7 a.m. on Saturday morning, June 18. Due to the damage caused by the spring flooding, there will be approximately 36 camp sites available at that time. Reservations for the July 4th holiday will be accepted beginning at 7:00 a.m. on that day (June 18) in person at the campground. Phone reservations will be accepted beginning at 8 a.m. that morning, along with in-person reservations. Reservations for weekends other than national holidays will be accepted that Saturday morning after holiday reservations are filled. Due to the limited availability of spaces this year, each customer may only reserve one camp site, NOT three, as in previous years. Beginning this year, payment is required at the time of reservation. Visa, MasterCard, checks, and cash are accepted.
Additional camp sites may be available for the July 4th weekend, depending upon weather in the coming weeks. A waiting list will be established for additional sites that become available between June 18 and July 4. Volunteers interested in assisting with clean-up activities at the park such as painting tables, resetting fire pits, or reseeding should call the City of Dubuque Leisure Services Department at 563-589-4263.
The 20-acre Miller Riverview Park and Campground is located at 1851 Admiral Sheehy Drive, adjacent to the Mystique Casino, and feature camping, picnic and recreation areas, a .95 mile walking and biking path, and provides a great view of Mississippi River traffic.
