Campbell's Island offers an uncommon river lifestyle wrapped in small-community ease. Set on the Mississippi and connected by a short causeway, it pairs water views and wildlife watching with quick access to everyday needs in East Moline and Moline. Weekends often mean paddling, casting a line, or simply taking in those panoramic sunsets, while business trips and getaways are straightforward thanks to nearby Quad City International Airport. County services and regional resources are close at hand across Rock Island County.
History runs deep here. The island was the site of an 1814 War of 1812 engagement, remembered today at the Campbell’s Island State Memorial, a solemn nod to the area’s frontier past. Yet the broader Quad Cities energy is right over the bridges—museums, music, and dining in places like Davenport. Commuters appreciate options beyond the car, with regional bus connections through MetroLINK helping tie the metro together.
Families value practical schooling paths: younger students attend East Moline School District 37, while older students head to United Township High School in nearby Silvis. Year-round residents describe the island as a place where neighbors look out for each other, river levels are dinner-table conversation, and every season brings a new reason to be outside.
