We had a great time exploring from the car. We have been touring Iowa and her State Parks this year. We will be back to the cabins or the resort here soon. Would like to get some fishing done here and there looks to be a lot of choices for boats ramps and shore fishing alike. The shelters were all well kept and the fall foliage was breath taking. We took a short drive through the camp grounds... We had a great time exploring from the car. We have been touring Iowa and her State Parks this year.

The shelters were all well kept and the fall foliage was breath taking. We took a short drive through the camp grounds and they looked very nice as well. Not far off the beaten path and there are hiking trails and things to explore that I plan to come back and see.

A great campground with multiple points for lake access. There are mutiple loops for a more private tenting campsite, but there are also RV sites that are thriving with activity. I reserved online and the campsite was ready to go when I arrived. Very reasonable check-in and check-out times. Great place for the earlybirds as I found an excellent point on the water to watch the sunrise.
