Camp At The Woods

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

River access draws many visitors to Camp At The Woods, a privately operated campground in Nora Springs, Iowa, where several sites sit close enough to the water for fishing and casual recreation along the bank. The terrain runs open, with gravel and concrete pad sites that accommodate RVs with full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer connections. Most spots are occupied by seasonal and month-to-month residents, so transient availability can be limited, and it is worth calling ahead before making the drive.

The campground has added a number of updates in recent years, including a children's play area, a basketball court, a pavilion, and a pool that operates during warmer months. Bathrooms and laundry facilities are located near the river. Site sizes are modest, and at least one reviewer noted a sewer connection positioned uphill from the pad, which can complicate hookup for some rigs. Crowding is a consistent theme across reviews, largely because so many spots are committed to long-term campers.

The manager, Ray, is mentioned repeatedly for being accommodating to short-term visitors, including helping guests set up after dark and in cold weather. "Near the river for some water fun," notes Tracy B., capturing what draws many overnighters here between seasonal commitments. Campers who want to explore the broader region can look at camping spots around Nora Springs or nearby options like Shellrock River Co Preserve and Mason City Campground. Camp At The Woods works best for RV travelers who can confirm site availability in advance and want river access with full hookups in a working campground setting.

Very accommodating super nice people helped us back in and set up in middle of winter after dark after we had drove 2 days from the east coast. Our spot was on an incline but the water worked when temp was below freezing the camp was nice with new park for kids new basketball court new pavilion wish we could have been there in the summertime I’m sure the pool is nice when uncovered. I saw laundry and bathrooms by the river.

Very friendly fun environment

Ray was very accommodating to get us into a full hook site last minute. Nice grounds with many new updates. Perfect size sites and near the river for some water fun. Pool wasn’t open yet but looked to be a good size. Would go back there again for sure!

Nice people and ray is working hard to update!

Ray is a great guy ! He let us come in for a weekend , and let us pick our site on arrival. We had full hook up, but the sewer connection was at the front of the site and was up hill kind of . Nice concrete Pads at the site with fire rings. Mostly seasonal sites and month to month workers in here but would definitely come back if there was an open site

A little rough for March, but would be willing to give it a try again!

This campground is primarily seasonal and month-to-month campers and open year-round. Since it was not high season Ray let us bring our new rig in for a test run. He was very friendly and accommodating. The sites are small and where we were was mostly gravel, but we made it work. There are some sites along the river that have incredible views and river access. Obviously these weren't accessible considering the time of year we visited the campground, but we would like to visit Camp At The Woods again once the summer weather moves in.
