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.
