Chief Keokuk Campground — Johnson-Sauk Trail State Recreation Area
Reviewed May. 30, 2022

Camping in a forest- plenty to do

A lovely campground. It's nestled in a pine forest so if you love hammock camping, this place is perfect. The sites are spread out enough that you don't feel like you are on top of other campers. Each site has a fire spot with a grill grate. The sites are pretty even; some had a slight slope but not too bad.

There's lots to do at this park- they rent kayaks, paddleboats, and basic fishing boats. There's some good fishing, if that's your thing. Plus, there are some hiking trails around the park. There's a small shop on site with limited stock. When we went (summer 2021) you had to buy the wood on site at the shop.
