Arrowhead Park

$10 for tent camping can't be beat. There are quite a few bathrooms spread out though the tent camping areas they are basic pit toilets the one near us the motion light wasn't working so we just made sure to bring a flashlight. Very nice shower house with private showers include a toilet in each. For my picky kids who was scared of the pit toilet we would just drive up or walk to the shower house. The playground was in good shape firewood was only $10 for a large enough bundle to last us to cook dinner, have smores and a fire until we turned in for the night and cook breakfast the next morning. The park ranger was super nice and accommodating. We picked up a screw in our tire somewhere we were fortune enough he was willing to use his air compressor to fill up our tire. We were able to make it home unload and get to the tire shop because of his help!

This is a beautiful park! My daughter and I visited in October. Follow my Iowa County Park Adventures on Facebook & Instagram @iowaparklady

Very nice park! We rented a paddle boat but ended up having to come back after half an hour due to severe weather. They refunded our money since we weren't able to go the full hour. The park is well kept and the people are friendly! Looking forward to returning soon.

Absolute gem for a quick stop or a full stay. We were heading west and decided to stop in after finding it on the map as one of the nearby options. Was a bit worried about first come first served but there were plenty of spots when we rolled in around 4pm. Clean, well maintained, and far enough away from the highway that there was very little noise. People seem super friendly and all of the guests were well behaved. Like us, many of them needed sleep on their way somewhere else. Pro tip - head to the furthest spots away from check-in. They're the quietest, have full hookups and are newly installed. You're not getting a lot of privacy as the spots are close together, but it's rare to find a new, well maintained place, with full hookups for $30 a night. Electric only sites are $20.

Awesome surprise. We randomly found the place online and stayed one night at traveling along Highway. 39’ travel trailer fit super easy on a full hook up site. Great water pressure and electric and hookup locations. Super friendly staff. Clean and beautiful grounds.

I pulled in to arrowhead park after dark. I saw the lights on in the Park officer office and went up to the door to talk. I met a very friendly gentleman named Dave who said he has snowmobiled in Colorado at some of the same spots I normally go to. He very kindly pointed me to his favorite campsite with its own restroom right on the lake. Great night of sleep and a place to wake up! Thanks Dave!

Nice campground and park. Cant beat the price for tent camping and to have a hand full of tent sites with electric is awesome. The ONLY complaint is the restrooms. YES the shower restrooms are very nice, and clean, but the rest of the "pit" restrooms throughout the campground, with no lights inside does leave a lot to be desired. ONE modern restroom in each camping area would be really welcomed.

Awesome park. If you are on I 80 in Iowa and you have to stop for the night, I totally recommend this place. Electric hookup only but water available and a dump station. Beautiful shady campsites and hiking trails. We stopped for the night, but decided to stay another because it's so nice. If you are planning to stop in shelby park...don't, drive the extra 10 miles to arrowhead. You'll be glad you did.

This is our second time stopping here to camp while driving across the US. We are tent campers so the cost is $10 a day. For some of the best tent camping spots, drive the paved road to the end where it dips down by a pond and turns to gravel. Continue on the gravel road and drive the loop to see the handful of tent camping spots available. Showers are available about 5 minutes away on foot. They were just recently renovated and it's great! 6 separate showers/bathrooms! A very nice improvement from the last time we were here. Each campsite is big, lots of soft grass to put down a tent and spaced far from your neighbor. Its well worth a visit.
