Chief Keokuk Campground — Johnson-Sauk Trail State Recreation Area
Reviewed Jun. 20, 2022

Great weekend campout for Fathers Day

Cute campground with lots of sites for campers, tents and hammocks. We stayed at Site 80, which was right by the parking lot.

We stayed on Father’s Day weekend and Friday night was nice, quiet and secluded. Saturday night was the opposite however, with people at the campers and rvs staying up late.

The main toilets and showers were functional- a few pit toilets were closed by the tent area. The restaurant and bait shop/boat rental was closed due to no staffing.

Very nice trails and lake area- keep an eye out for mulberries and raspberries!

Playground was nice for the kiddos and our dog loved jumping in the lake!
