One of the best campgrounds on our cross country trek!! The bike trail around the lake is AWESOME! 8MILES. Nicest showers ever. Lots of wildlife. Cute town.

A very clean, well maintained family friendly campground! The drive around the lake at dusk is a must....LOTS of deer!! Bike trail is also a plus. Need games to play...ask the campground host or DNR personnel.

This is one of the better state parks Iowa has to offer. The grounds were so well kept up, including the beach area, and the paved path around the lake is great for cycling and walking. You're sure to spot deer and rabbits, but be sure to tick-check yourself. My site had water, sewer, and electric, though the water hook-up was in the middle of the neighbor's yard, which was a little weird but gave us a chance to strike up a convo. My site looked to be an exception; not standard practice. Without sewer connection at site, you might need to loop around the campground to dump before leaving.

I can see why this park is considered the best state park in Iowa. Our space is right down by the water with electric hook up all night. Our view right from our campsite was like a Monet painting. Sunsets were beautiful. The sites were grassy and the entire place was very well kept.
