A five Star campground! Very clean, plenty of camping spots for RV and tent camping! Cabins, a beach,Day lodging and fishing available! Just an hour from Omaha,NE. Minutes from Red Oak, Iowa or downtown Stanton,Ia( near campgrounds). Wi-Fi is spotty due to trees and cell tower is more near Red Oak,Ia

I did a quick visit on the lake, it is a nice spot to relax and you can do it kayak. The restrooms are clean :) ⚠️In the picnic area dont have reception on the phone and you need mosquito repelent⚠️

Nice clean campground and lake! Easy to get to off of Hwy 34. Clean shower houses with no spiders crawling all over and handicap accessible! Close to Vallisca, Stanton, and Redoak. The campground has buddy sites, full hookup sites, and a boat ramp with a kayak launch inside the campground. The camp hosts plan activities for campers like outdoor movies and popcorn, and a lighted kayak parade. There isn't much cellphone service at the campground, but it is pretty good at the beach. Camping spots are shaded by beautiful, well established trees. The fishing at the lake was pretty good too.

The park was full but not overcrowded. Made people watching as fun as nature watching. I have been to this park since before I could walk. It's improved a little bit every year. It's great to go for quiet time when not busy.

Always accessible, mostly quiet. Fishing, boating, walking trails, picnic. Venue rental next to swimming beach. Large camping area-modern to tent. You might even get to play Bingo, watch a movie, or use the loading ramp for your kayak. Google wanted an update....there's water in the lake now. Playground in camping area. Modern to nicer pit restrooms in all area except top picnic area. Dogs can walk trails with you. Lots of picnic space. Two sheltered areas for rent but when not rented still can be used in picnic area. The modern one has indoor kitchen space that does need to be rented. Both have outdoor grills and picnic tables. The modern one has wheelchair accessible tables and modern restrooms.
