Anglers and boaters will find direct water access at this county-managed campground along the Des Moines River. Glendale Access provides a launching point for river activities, with the boat ramp serving as the primary draw for visitors exploring this stretch of waterway.
The campground operates as a basic access site focused on water recreation rather than extended stays. Facilities remain minimal, reflecting its role as a launching and staging area. For campers wanting more developed amenities, Lake Keomah State Park Campground offers a full-service alternative with established sites and park facilities.
