Hikers can explore a short trail that loops around Wilson Lake at this county-managed campground in southwest Iowa. The facility provides electric hookups for RVs along with basic amenities including restrooms, drinking water, and picnic tables. Sites sit on a hillside above the small lake, though trees limit water views from most camping spots.
Access requires driving on gravel roads that generate fine dust, particularly noticeable on vehicles and gear. The campground operates quietly with minimal traffic, and campers can make reservations in advance. Two rental cabins face a separate pond area. For different camping experiences in the region, Lake of Three Fires State Park Campground sits 11 miles southwest.
