Nice campground, I pulled in at 10:30 & the host came out and gave me an easier site to park for the night & he even helped guide me into the spot.

This City Park is Fantastic even for Big Rigs! Concrete or gravel sites with Full Hook Ups. Our Pull Thru FHU site was $29/night + tax. Site B5. Large trees/shaded or sunny spot sites to choose from. Sites spaced nicely apart with plenty of grass. Easy On Line Booking. Pick your site! There is a big City Aquatic Center right next door with 3 pools, the river is close by with walking trails. Playground for the little ones. Downtown was a short 1 1/2 mile walk away. Large bath house which is also the parks’ storm shelter so felt very safe when weather passed thru. Quiet and very comfortable. Dog Friendly. Will stay again. East Park is a beautifully laid out City park with walking trails throughout right next to the Campground. There is a trail head in the Campground to access the Park right from there. Thank You Mason City for a wonderful Campground and City Park!

Clean, convenient, great location. Full hook ups are on concrete. Gravel areas are water and electric. There are tent areas as well. The office doubles as a little store. They have coin laundry, restrooms and showers in the storm shelter area. Very well maintained. I felt very safe there, everyone was so friendly and helpful! It has a playground and is next to a water park. Sits along the Winnebago River. Highly recommend.

We live in Mason City about a mile from MacNider Campgrounds. After buying our motor home we chose this place for our maiden voyage. We have never camped before so wanted to stay close to home in case we forgot something or needed to run home quickly. Great campground in our city! Aquatic Center within walking distance, Walking trails abound with bridge to East Park, lots of shade, friendly staff, great rates, pets welcome, and lots to do in the area.

This is a great place to camp! I was skeptical about camping inside city limits at first but I liked it so much that I ended up coming back multiple times. I like that its not huge campground. There are maybe 20-30 RV sites & approx 15 or so tent sites. The river runs along the backside of the campground which is where the tent sites are & is easy access for fishing. Across the river is beautiful Eastside Park.There is a public swimming pool next door but far enough away that its not disturbing. U can hear the kids having a good time & it's a pleasant background noise. The price is very reasonable for tent camping ($12). #1 & #2 have electric hook ups the rest of the tent sites don't which is unfortunate.The restroom & showers are pretty decent. Although they could use bigger waste baskets or empty them more often. I also recommend bringing ur own soap. There is a family/handicap room with a shower, toilet & changing station.

We had a wonderful stay at this campground. Marion was wonderful to talk to and the price for a full hook up was reasonable. The campground is well maintained and the spots have a nice fire ring that we enjoyed in the evening. Thank you for a great stay.

Clean and Beautiful campground, a little off the beaten path but right next to a Water Park and if you purchase your water park tickets from the Campgrounds office they are a dollar per person! I did faintly here a train in the the morning but it was time to get up anyway and we were in a tent. There is a nice playground located next to the office.
