Wonderful park for community family gatherings and large groups. Park Staff is easy to contact via phone, and communication is excellent. Parking may be a little limited, if the group is very large or if there are too many vehicles.

We had a large family group. We were at a family wedding reception when the water started rising. We had no idea, and to say "it wasn't on our mind", lol. The rangers continued trying all of our numbers until he reached us. A big shout out for our park rangers, they have MANY jobs people over look!! Yes we were last ones out but it was before the water reached us, thankfully. (But not by much) The shower houses are nice and clean, brightly lit and the exhaust fans are great! Only wish for a small bench, I am disabled and it's a struggle, standing so long. Would love a ramp on the other side too. I was able to drive to other side, thankfully.

Very relaxed atmosphere. You can hang hammocks. Which is something we really enjoy doing. Play ground is a little mediocre, but hey, they still have one! Lol, shower house is built up due to possible flooding. One side has stairs and the other a ramp. Showers are pull chain and HOT! Pet friendly. Very helpful staff.

Great campground! We stayed on a full hook up site for $25 a night. Each campsite came with a fire pit (no grill attachment) and a picnic table. We got there Thursday and had plenty of sites to choose from. When we got there Friday late afternoon there was that many open. Our site was big and we didn't feel like we're on top of each other, big lots. Definitely will camp here again!

Great park esprcially if you don't want all the 'bells and whistles' or an rv parking lot. Great vibe, mostly quiet and away from all the NOISE

I wish this campground took reservations. We biked thru on the bike trail. Nice spaces, clean & quiet. And the shower house on the bridge was neat!

Great rustic campsites available along the Cedar River, trees and fields. Electric and full hookups available in field type setting. Flush toilets available. Poor shower facilities. Fantastic connection to dedicated paved bike trails to downtown Cedar Falls, connecting to great trails in George Wyth trails. Under used trails.
