Many campers appreciated the well-maintained sites and affordable rates at this quiet campground. Families particularly enjoyed the playground and adjacent city pool access.

Better than free camping

Quiet, clean and decent size lots.

This Campground sits among a sleepy country city… however with the trees and the setting, you would never know.

The cost is $20 per night for electric and water. Sewer cost extra.

Would stay here 100 times over any type of lot docking and many other campsites that look like parking lot.

It’s a home run stay here!

Pretty good

Was a quick stop. Surprised when we pulled up it was only $19 a night for only electric & $28 for full hook ups. We came in the end of June & it is not too busy. Still plenty of parking. There is a community pool right beside the camp.

Quaint city campground

This campground is fairly small but fits our 43’ rig well. The ground and well kept and staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. There is a nice playground on site plus the city pool is right next door. There are also awesome parks within walking distance. If we ever come through this area again we will definitely be staying here!

Peace in the city

This campground is just across the river from East Park, a very large part in Mason city. The river flows through the park and there are several, maybe 5 playgrounds in the park. The campground is also next door to the city pool.
