About Our Private Campground on the Mississippi River

Rack & Quack Campground is a private, hunter-focused campground that caters to hunters and fishermen alike, situated along the beautiful Mississippi River near Hanover, Illinois. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, this is the perfect place for you. Established on generations of family tradition, this fishing campground was created to provide outdoor enthusiasts and their families with a true home away from home.

Our connection to this land dates back to the 1970s. For decades, our family has spent seasons here hunting, fishing, boating, and gathering around campfires along the river. These years have not only shaped our love for the outdoors but also instilled in us a deep respect for the land, wildlife, and the local community.

When the original campground closed, the sense of belonging it offered vanished. Hotels and short-term rentals never replaced what was lost — the friendships, traditions, and the tranquil rhythm of life that comes from returning to the same outdoor enthusiasts campground year after year.

Rack & Quack Campground was established to restore that cherished experience.

This is not a party campground or a large public development. It is intentionally designed as a peaceful, well-managed, seasonal campground with full hookups, clear rules, and a strong emphasis on respect for neighboring properties, public lands, wildlife, and the local hunting culture.

With public hunting and fishing land nearby, a public boat ramp just steps from the gate, and direct access to the Mississippi River corridor, Rack & Quack offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in the way it was meant to be experienced.

Above all, our goal is simple: to preserve a place where traditions continue, stories are shared around the fire, and families can return year after year.

Welcome to Rack & Quack Campground — rooted in tradition, built for the outdoors.
