Just a short drive from Cedar Rapids. No phone service which helps you reconnect with nature and get away from life's busyness. Trout are always just a good rooster tail away!

This is hands down the best state (county) park we have been too in Iowa. Not only were all shower houses and bathroom spotless, but the trout stream, river access, playgrounds, trails, and conservation center male $20 a night more than worth it!!

Great hiking experience, was kind of difficult to find the cave, but eventually found it, and it was great! Beautiful park and nature was pretty. We also went to the beach area and used the paddle boats, it was fun but the water was kinda gross! Still had fun though!

One of our favorite camp grounds, we keep coming back every year. Well maintained. Spacious tent camping sites, nice trails and love the proximity to the trout stream.
