Cute small Campground 

Very cheap , 15$ a night for rv with electric and water, 5$ for tents. Huge swimming area with slides for kids, and river with a lot of fish!!! Brand New shower houses . 

Love it !!!

Found a site with no problem but clearly this is an RV focused campground.  I did find a nice grassy area for my tent but my neighbors aren’t far.  The river is nice and the walking trails are ok.

Nice but high use

Very nice quiet campground. The sign says all sites are $15 but online it says you can rent camp in the grass for $5 so just write that on the slip when you pay. Has both bathrooms and showers 

Nice quiet campground 

Nice campground.  The night we stayed, there was racing going on at Rapid Speedway (http://www.rockrapidsspeedway.com/) that lasted well into the evening.  Extremely LOUD.  Make sure to check the race schedule the night you want to stay and move on down the road if a race is happening


Racing into the night

Staying here was fun. Pool available. I would stay again.

A cute campground.

Drove over tonight excited for my stay at this neat looking park. Unfortunately it appears that the June 2024 flood damaged the campground and it’s currently closed for repair.

A good place to camp for the night with gas and groceries nearby. All sites have electricity but only 20/30/60 amps. Water spigots are spread throughout the campground. A dump station is located at the west entrance across the driveway from the pay station. It's northwest Iowa (cattle country) so you will notice a hint of something special in the air.
