"37 full-hookup sites, some tent sites, all right on edge of town. Adjacent to Kitty Creek, joins Maquoketa River. Some concrete pads, most are gravel, fairly level."
ScoutJust spent one night tent camping here. It was peaceful and quiet. Easy self check in process and self pay for firewood. Make sure you bring cash for site and firewood. Pit toilets were clean and not full of bugs, however it was May and still a chill in the air.
Would have been easy to park a RV on this site, #78.
Great hike around the lake on trail that connects to the campground. Look for trail maps on the parks website.
Highly recommend and will camp here again.
GuideNot our typical campsite but we had the kids down for the weekend and we thought a campsite with a pool and mini golf would be a fun break from the norm. Sites are really close if you’re a tent camper but it is good as far as RV parks are concerned

LegendThe dam and the lake are cool, there's a decent beach, two playgrounds, and lots of sites to choose from. Overall though, it felt a bit... Trashy? We are not spoiled high falutin campers at all, but compared to the COE campgrounds we are used to in GA this one is lacking a bit in tree cover, site spacing, and water cleanliness. Not terrible but not great.
