Best RV Parks & Resorts near Cantril, IA

Several RV parks around Cantril, Iowa provide full-hookup sites for travelers. Crossroads RV Park in Mount Pleasant offers year-round access with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections on level sites. The park includes amenities such as showers, toilets, and sanitary dump facilities. "Very nice personnel and clean, updated facilities. There are some long-term residents, but everyone seems very kind and helpful. Parking is drive thru, but sites are pretty close," noted one visitor. Nearby, Updog RV & Camping operates seasonally from April to November with similar hookup options and accommodates larger rigs. Indian Lake Park near Farmington maintains RV sites with electric, sewer, and water hookups along with shower facilities, though its sites vary in size and shade coverage.

Full-service RV parks in the region typically charge between $25-32 nightly for hookup sites. Cell service varies significantly across locations, with AT&T generally providing better coverage than Verizon in most parks. While some campgrounds feature concrete pull-through sites that easily accommodate larger motorhomes, others have tighter gravel pads requiring careful positioning. Most parks enforce quiet hours and allow pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Access roads to several parks include sharp turns that can challenge longer rigs—particularly at Camp Nauvoo where southbound travelers on Highway 96 face a steep, tight left turn that may require alternative routing. Winter camping options are limited, with only Crossroads RV Park and a few others maintaining year-round operations.

    Camp Nauvoo

    Great value, nice campground

    Camp Nauvoo is a nice, church operated, park only 5 minutes from downtown Nauvoo. We stayed one night on our way to Minnesota. The sites are sunny and all are pull-through.but some have shade. The park streets are gravel with concrete pull-through sites. The park is very quiet. Great value for $32. Full hookups. 

    Stayed in campsite#10 which has no shade. It was a concrete pull-through with more than enough parking for my TT and truck and grass on either side. The site included: picnic table. Utilities were located in different spots. 20A/30A/50A electric in the middle, water near the rear, and sewer near the front. Site was level. No neighbor on passenger/awning side. 

    AT&T had 3 bars of LTE and Verizon 1 bar of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 56.8 Mbps down, 9.3 Mbps up. Free WiFi available, but I had trouble connecting. 

    If you are southbound on Illinois Hwy 96, the left turn off the highway is very sharp and steep. Might be easier to continue about a mile south and use the scenic turnout to turnaround. It is a pull-through turnout. Then, turn off the highway on the right.

    Would stay here again. We camped at Camp Nauvoo in a Travel Trailer.

    Hickory Haven Campground

    Pretty, wooded campground

    Needed an overnight spot on our way north, off season for camping in this area.  Called mid afternoon for availability and spoke with John who promptly told us he would hold a site for us. Large campground that has a few full hookup sites open year around. We were given a site between a couple of traveling workers. Both came out to greet us which was very nice. Site was a bit small but certainly ok for a night's stay. Many larger sites farther back in the closed area. Full hook-ups. Level gravel. Picnic table available. Laundry and restrooms very clean. Playground, pavilion for movies, dog area, frog pond, hiking trails and beautiful woods. A few camping supplies available in the office. This would be a fun getaway for families in the summer months.

    Wildcat Springs Park

    Wildcat Creek Campground, Hamilton , Illinois

    Wildcat is a very nice campground operated by the City of Hamilton, Illinois. Campground has only 17 RV slots of various sizes. We had room to put our 32 foot fifth wheel and room to park our truck alongside. Ours was one of a couple of sites large enough to handle our size.

    Their website says the nightly fee is $15 for tents and $25 fir RV. When we arrived we were informed that it had gone up to $20 fir tent and $30 for RV.

    Service excludes electricity of 30 and 50 amp. Water is also available at each site. A dump station is on site.

    Also on site is a very nice public pool and interesting Disc Golf course.

    Very quite and peaceful surroundings. Just a half mile off of the Mississippi River.

    We will definitely return here when we get back to the area.

    Lake Darling State Park Campground

    Lake Darling Campground

    Our family has been camping at Lake Darling for the past couple of years. We very much like the campground and the lake area. Opportunities for improvement would be that the full hookup sites have the neighbors waste tube close the campers picnic table. Sometimes getting a whiff of black water waste while trying eat dinner leaves a little to be desired. Eh? If a person camps in the regular electric only sites this is not a problem. However, this requires ( for most campers) the use of the shower house. The bathroom facilities are clean and well kept but the showers could use some updating and better cleaning maintenance. The lake area offers great fishing and there are boat rentals available. Paddle boats, canoes, and other options. There is a long concrete multi use path along the lake and into the cabin area. The cabins seem nice, though we have never been in them or stayed in them. Book early they are usually booked up I am told. All in all a great weekend get away place. And generally limited cell signal might be better that way eh?

    Prairie Ridge

    Prairie Ridge has some nice wild flowers and a good view of Lake Rathbun

    Lake Rathbun is a destination for boaters and campers in the State of Iowa. The Army Corps of Engineers operates and maintains several facilities around the lake. Prairie Ridge campground is one of those facilities.

    The campsites are good. They have a fire pit, a place to hang food to keep away from raccoons, electricity, and a nice gravel pad for your vehicle or camper. It has modern toilets and some of the campsites have a nice overlook of the lake.

    What stands out at this campground is the prairie grass and all of the wild flowers. It is a nice weekend getaway.

    Updog RV & Camping

    TERRIBLE

    Worst place I have stayed in my 6 years of traveling as an RN. Yes, they had shade.  Made cell service very hard to receive. ONLY other thing they has was geese and fishing.  No picnic table, no firepits. I had a 30amp space. With slide out on each side, and not superslides either, I had EXACTLY 1 foot left on each side of my slides. I could not put out my awning as it would hit the camper next to me. No zero space behind camper as it went to a steep slope from my spare wheel. If I walked behind camper, I had to hang on to spare wheel or fall down the slope. Barely enough room in from of camper to park pickup at an angle.  I have never seen anything like this place before.  And hope I never do.  Pictures you see of campground are SO VERY MUCH deceiving !!!!!. I rate it a one star only because it will not allow me to go any lower.
