{BLUT:UND:BODEN} “BLOOD-N-SOIL” [ALLIANCE]
{LoneVolfsson} Campground Review: Rolling into Marion County Park, a soul with roots in the wild and spirit in the ancient winds will feel right at home. The setting is classic Iowa—broad spaces dotted with sturdy trees, plenty of room for sunlight, ritual, and a quiet wander at dawn or dusk. Sites sprawl across the landscape, offering both reservations and first-come options, accommodating rigs big and small, as well as a fair number of tents for genuine earth-sleepers. Each spot boasts electric and water, some with full hookups and all the basics: fire ring, picnic table, and a good hit of prairie breeze. Shade is modest but sufficient for most; those who honor Sunna will find both shelter and open sky. For the heathen and the wayfarer, amenities include clean restrooms, a solid modern shower building (though a few reviews note some long-term wear), and a dump station. A friendly host holds camp—give ‘em a nod, glean the local wisdom if the ancestors nudge you that way. Families and solo nomads both find activity here—playgrounds, fishing in the small lake, old village displays for a brush with regional lore. During the Sprint Car Nationals, expect a crowd almost tribal in its noise and excitement, but in the off-week quiet, this park becomes a fine place for reflection and small rites. Downtown Knoxville is a short drive for supplies or a pint; in every direction, the hills and woods invite wandering. In the right season—April to October—you’ll have the run of the place for a fair price: $25–$30 a night, with discounts for elders and good folk who plan ahead. Marion County Park is a well-kept, good-spirited campground—heathen-friendly, hospitable to all wanderers, and offering space for both sunrise blessing and campfire tale. Not a place for wild feasts or rowdy revels, but a peaceful waypoint for the wandering kin

Very nice camp. The site was level, easy to back into it. The showers are individual ones. Nice hot water. Very clean camp.

It was a great place to stay very clean. I booked a stay for next year already.

Do not reserve unless you know for sure you will be camping at this crappy park! If you need to cancel, you will not get all of your money back (not even close). We canceled 3-1/2 months before our scheduled camping date which the park had plenty of time to fill that site. Their cancellation notice on the website is not clear, therefore they manage to not give full refunds. Shortly after we booked, we were told by several people to never camp at this park because they put campers on the grass, put as many campers they can squeeze in and do not refund money if cancel. So wish we would have talked to these people before we booked and read the reviews.
