Riverside

We did not stay here, but I snapped a few photos from the other side of the riverbank. Posting because we were just passing through and I wanted to share the pics.

We love this spot

This is our second one night stay while visiting a patient at University of Iowa Hospital which is just 15 minutes away. Site 10e both stays. Flat paved electric spot for only $20. Site is a bit small but everything we need. Clean restrooms an showers.
