Small but sweet

We spent a weekend here enjoying the lovely quiet secluded setting of Linder Point. This is one of around 4 campgrounds near/around Lake Coralville. It’s the smallest one and not right on the water, but also away from the busyness of the other ones which have the boat ramps and fishing activity. Linder has a nice modern clean bathroom and shower house. They were cleaned each morning. Near the campground within walking distance is a super cute old fashioned ice cream/food place called Funcrest Dairy and Grill. We had several root beer floats during our stay and enjoyed the fifties music and themed style while there. We also enjoyed exploring the Devonian Fossil Gorge as well as the dam/lake area near the other campgrounds. It was a very active fun place to walk around and see! We would definitely return to this area to camp again!
