As full time rvers, we know good & bad campgrounds ans parks. This isn't just a huge state park, its just about right. The sites were large enough to fit my jeep, our 4 door truck with 8 foot bed, and our grand design momentum 380th (triple axel) and we stayed in site 15. There are pit toilets right behind out site we didnt need but were available. The bath house and flushing toilet restrooms were... As full time rvers, we know good & bad campgrounds ans parks. This isn't just a huge state park, its just about right. The sites were large enough to fit my jeep, our 4 door truck with 8 foot bed, and our grand design momentum 380th (triple axel) and we stayed in site 15. There are pit toilets right behind out site we didnt need but were available. The bath house and flushing toilet restrooms were already closed for the season and signs said they closed october 19th. There are a hand full of walking trails that we took with our dog. The park is pet friendly but no dog park. Some site were pretty level and some were not at all. We did not come during peak season so we picked our spot upon arrival as everyone pays online with a qr code available at the front to make it simple. Come in tax and all at $25, pretty amazing price for power hookups. Some sites have power, some have power & water. Our site 15 had power and a water pipe across the road if needed. There is a dump site at the campground, as well. Great park at a great price with beautiful views!

Absolutely stunning! This park has one of the most unique and beautiful views in Iowa. The trail system is well organized and easy to navigate. Bridal Veil falls is easy to get to and super pretty! The campsite #20 was nice in that it backed up to the woods, has electric, shade, fire pit and picnic table. Water nearby and an outhouse. The Camp Host was extremely helpful.

Bridal Veil falls is easy to get to and super pretty! The campsite #20 was nice in that it backed up to the woods, has electric, shade, fire pit and picnic table. Water nearby and an outhouse. The Camp Host was extremely helpful. We are new RVers with an older motor home that wouldn’t start and we couldn’t figure it out. He came to give us a jump and ended up finding a battery connection issue that he cleaned up enough to get us rolling, so we could head home. Wish we could have stayed long and we will be back!

Always love camping here, great scenes, trails and campground. The campground has really been upgraded, lots more concrete not sure how I feel about that yet, but the campground is very nice and the shower rooms are good. The trails and scenes are always good. They did remove the children's playground up by the camp store, not sure why they did that, but overall very good experience.

Great views of the Mississippi. Great overlooks. Good hiking. Bridal veil falls was a bit underwhelming but a nice hike. Definitely go if you like great views, walks and exploring the area.

Beautiful views and trails with many photo locations and lots of opportunities to spot bald eagles if you bring binoculars. The bald eagles like to hang out on the drift wood trees over the river.
