We came apon this great place by accident. We traveled from Michigan to see the caves as also Field of dreams. The campground staff were very accommodating. This was a clean ,beautiful, place to camp. Would highly recommend it.
Cassie Ellis
Nice little reservable campground north of Dyersville. Has nice sites, some on the smaller side. 2 playgrounds and shelters. Disk golf course and creek that runs on the backside of the campgrounds. 3 hiking trails in the woods. Shower house/restrooms located in the middle of the campgrounds along with the dumpstation.
Jesse Sailler
Truly a gem. Perfect the way it is. Bring cash to deposit into the box. $23/night for 50/30amp. Near a creek, fireflies everywhere! No engine sounds or road sounds passing by. A close drive to Field Of Dreams. I hope this place stays just like this for many years to come.
Robert Neiers
Great hiking trails and lots of upgrades to the campground.
Rodney Jones
Beautiful camp ground. Super friendly staff. Needs shelves in the showers and a place to hang clothes and towels. No soap in the men's restroom.
