Gorgeous tree lined level pot. Nice walking trails and can walk to see the river. Poison Oak on the trees so be careful. Pictures are from site 60.

Absolutely beautiful campground. We stayed in site 57. Very nice site. All the sites are very nice. We loved hearing the train roll past. Make sure to pack bug spray though, Mosquito are pretty bad. Would definitely stay here again.

What a beautiful little gem hidden so close to the city! First time camping here and couldn't have been more pleased! Quiet, clean, well spaced out sites and plenty to do. Bath houses were clean, playground, walking trails, fishing and relaxation! Super affordable, $79 for 3 nights at a full electrical site. Just bring firewood as the office may not be open for it.

Extreme shade. It's a nice place. A lot of camping spots and has a security person on duty.

We liked this county park. We arrived about dusk, had no problem finding an RV site, and found it pleasant but not fancy. We also did some walking in the park--it is a dispersed, somewhat underdeveloped resource at a beautiful and historic spot on the DesMoines River. It was also fairly convenient to the freeways yet secluded and quiet. We saw a bald eagle with a fish in its claws too :-).

This place was sold out of sites during the time but the view was visually appealing:)
