A Hidden Gem in Iowa

A hidden gem in Northwest Iowa. It is Memerial Day Weekend and on Friday night we had one other tent camper on Friday. None on Saturday. 

The bathrooms are the old hole going down into a pit. They are very rustic. 

There are plenty of trails in the park. The big creek that runs through the kiddos can play in. It is not deep but it’s water. There are some other small little creeks too.

Around the camping area, the kids rode their bikes. We did ride around the roads as a family. 

The camp site are dirt. 

There are permanent fire rings and grills at each site. Only place to get firewood was at Hy-Vee. Our site had electricity with 50, 30,& 20 amps. 

There is only one water spot in the campground. We drank the water and didn’t die. 

There is a golf course next to the park that is fun. 

My only real complaint would be there is a lot of people just driving through.
