Grew up on the lake, so I've enjoyed Huston Park since I was a kid. Best beach in NW Iowa, recently-renovated campground, awesome Nature Center, large shelter with a playground, and miles of trails!

I was there later in the season so it was much quieter than I'm sure it is at the height of Summer. There's a lovely short path along that side of the lake. There's also a nice walking path that loops through the trees. Every site has electrical hookup. The bathrooms were clean. The nature center is a fun walk-through.
