F. W. Kent Park

Just spent one night tent camping here.  It was peaceful and quiet.  Easy self check in process and self pay for firewood.  Make sure you bring cash for site and firewood.  Pit toilets were clean and not full of bugs, however it was May and still a chill in the air.

Would have been easy to park a RV on this site, #78.

Great hike around the lake on trail that connects to the campground.  Look for trail maps on the parks website.

Highly recommend and will camp here again.

Beautiful, very large, clean, quiet, $20 for RV Campspot with electric, sewer dump at park entrance.

My dad and I tent cramped here in mid August. It is the perfect camping destination between Amana colonies and Iowa City.

Amazing experience with lots of amenities and space to spread out.

Easy to get to, very well maintained, electric hookups with 120 volt power outlets, lots of stuff to do, including: hiking, swimming, kayaking, easy to get to amenities and grocery stores. plenty of trails and overlooks with picnic benches. Fire pits With built in grill grates.

Park offers: lake fishing, paddling, swimming beach, trails, education center. Sites offer: hard surface, table, fire rings, hosts, firewood for purchase, play areas, RR, storm shelters, views.

A nice out of the way campground. Very quiet.

This park is a great place for a quick getaway. Quiet and not a million sites. Wifi is nice with plenty to do throughout the park. One of my local favorite places.

Plenty of campsite offerings with good amenities. Paddling, fishing, hiking, swimming, to name a few. Firewood available. Conservation education center open seasonally with programs offered. Forest, prairie, wetland habitats. Not far from town for quick trip if needed.

Driving cross country, this was my favorite campground. I had a large, private site that had a mowed path leading to the lake. The large lake is beautifully landscaped with walking bridges made from recycled iron and memorial trees of many varieties. There is about a two mile trail circumventing the entire lake. I was there in early October so the weather was too chilly to use the nice beach. Great shower house.

We camp here every year in for Scouts.  The time a year we go it is not busy and we pretty much have the place to our selves.  The last time we were there the ranger let us have all the firewood we wanted.  Nice easy hiking paths and the beautiful grounds.

Unique mix of RV and tent sites in a variety of sizes. Some close together would be good for groups and some remote. One shower room with flush toilets near entrance but vault toilets and water available throughout park. No other services.

Nice quiet place during the week. Lots of space between sites.

Loved Kent park for camping. They currently have their lake drained. Estimated to be filled some time summer 2019, unknown If they will stock fish. There are so many camp sites it's nice to not have rowdy neighbors right on top of you. The park is huge and you could easily get lost. Only downfall is the gates are locked at 10pm so if you needed to come or go, you're stuck.

This campground has many beautiful spots to camp. There were also a few playgrounds that my grandkids loved. We were there on a lovely night and had a great campfire. Close to amenities if you forget something.

beautiful park, spacious campsite, $20 for electric hookups. Love this park!!

This is a very convenient campground if driving cross country. Very clean and easy. Loads of fairly private spots in a rolling twisty loop.

Our family enjoys tent camping at Kent Park because the sites are grassy and open, but more private than many Midwest campgrounds because they are lined with tall prairie grasses and trees. We stayed during an Iowa Football weekend, attended the game in nearby Iowa City, and then enjoyed the rest of our weekend exploring the ponds and trails in the park. Prairie life makes for good photo ops and bird-watching. Restrooms and campsites were clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back!
