Spanning over 147 acres of lush Iowa landscape, this park provides a scenic backdrop for travelers looking to reconnect with nature.

Its location provides easy access to the I-80 corridor, making it a convenient stop for cross-country travelers. Despite its proximity to major routes, the park remains peaceful, surrounded by agricultural fields and dense woodlands that provide a quiet sense of seclusion and plenty of fresh air for those looking to escape the pavement.

Wonderful place to stay. Great prices for camping. Clean bathrooms and showers. Will return again. Sincerely, Not a robot.

It is a pretty, little, place to get away for a couple days. No swimming, and due to the pressure put on the lake, Which is small in size and heavily fished results are less than stellar. Cabins are nice and spacious.

Stopped here for a quick night on a cross country road trip. Easy to access and self register. Kind support over the phone. Unfortunately our site was covered in dog poop and it was hard to find any clear space.

Beautiful campgrounds and great place for fishing and kayaking! Can’t wait to go back also the party room. Space is wonderful and can hold a lot of people inside and out. Bathrooms were immaculate, which is hard to find at parks.

Had a family camping weekend here. Beautiful setting. The small but pretty lake was fun for fishing with small kids. The rental cabins are nice, roomy, clean, convenient and reasonably priced. Tent and RV spots available, with fire rings and grills. Camp staff are courteous and helpful. We plan on going back.
