Best RV Parks & Resorts near Creston, IA

Several RV parks surround Creston, Iowa, providing convenient options for motorhome travelers. Lake Icaria Co Park, located about 30 miles southwest of Creston, offers full hookup RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections alongside picnic tables and fire rings. Lakeside Casino RV Park in Osceola features paved pull-through sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, accommodating big rigs year-round. "All the spaces are pulled through. It is very clean. There is full hook up for water, electric and sewer. All spaces are paved," notes one RV camper. Ted's RV Park in Decatur City maintains 26 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer hookups in a big-rig friendly environment. CAB Campground, though smaller with just 6 sites, provides 50-amp service and full hookups for RVs.

During peak summer months, reservations are recommended at most RV campgrounds in the region. While Lakeside Casino RV Park operates year-round, other facilities like Eagle Ridge RV Park (37 sites) have seasonal availability from March through November. Cell service varies throughout the area, with most parks reporting adequate coverage for basic needs. Dump stations are available at Lake Icaria Co Park and Jesse James Gang RV Hookup, though not at all facilities. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most RV parks near Creston, allowing travelers to bring their animals. Some parks require leveling equipment, as one visitor to a nearby state park mentioned needing "to throw a couple of blocks under one side of our TT tires." Propane refill services can be found at select locations, including Des Moines West KOA Holiday, approximately 60 miles northeast of Creston.

    Adair City Park

    Great overnight spot

    Park was clean and close to highway. Husband said bathrooms were clean enough. Didn't use the showers. Arrived around 10pm on a Tuesday and there were 3 spots left. Not all spots could accommodate big rigs. About 8 sites total with electric and water hookups. $15/night for RVs and $6 for tents. Drop box and dump station by the bathrooms. Police rolled through shortly after we arrived. Safe area now but marker says this is the site of Jesse James first train robbery in July 1873. Would definitely come back if passing through.

    Lakeside Co Park

    Nice lake, but run down campsites.

    First, there is no dump station! All sites have water and electricity with 20, 30, and 60 amp plugs. The sites are 20 dollars. The campsites located near the entrance are pull-through but need maintenance. The campsites along the lake will support short to medium length RVs or trailers, and all are back in. As of this posting, all are not level and in poor condition. The city of Huneston, Iowa is a few minutes away and has several gas stations and a grocery store.

    Lake Icaria Co Park

    Great place that wasn’t crowded

    Very nice place. Full hook up spots were very nice. Easy to get into, plenty of space, fire pit, picnic table, friendly & helpful park officers, lots of activities (hiking, boating, boat rentals, beach, bait shop, close to a race track in Corning, etc). We went the weekend after Memorial Day & there were plenty of spots. Quiet & family friendly. Even have food trucks that serve over by the beach!

    Walnut Woods State Park Campground

    Comfortable Camping Convenient To Des Moines

    Walnut Woods is conveniently located 25 minutes outside of downtown Des Moines. Sites are paved and mostly level, although we did have to throw a couple of blocks under one side of our TT tires. Most sites feature 20/30/50 electric, a fire ring and a picnic table. Some also have water and sewer hookups. Sites are relatively small and close together, so get comfortable looking into your neighbors’ site/camper depending on how your site is oriented. The road around the campground is paved, but very narrow. We had to ask our neighbor across the street to temporarily move their tow vehicle so that we’d have adequate room to back into our site.

    There is a bathroom, trash dumpsters, and a dump station with both potable and tank cleanout water spigots. There are trail heads near the campground that follow along the raccoon river for almost 2 miles. It was very muddy when we camped here, so we had to turn around about 1.5 miles into our hike and backtrack due to an impassible area.

    3 bars of T-Mobile and 2 bars of AT&T were more than sufficient for internet browsing and streaming.

    Des Moines West KOA Holiday

    Nice modern KOA

    Large modern KOA with sites to accommodate all sizes of rigs and also tent campers. Gravel sites require some leveling. Not much privacy between sites nor shade. Bathhouses were clean and private. Laundry available. Off leash dog area available. Convenient to John Wayne’s birthplace and covered bridges of Madison County. Bulk propane tanks were on site for winter campers. Camper cabins available. Small store with Hunt Brothers pizza to order. Gathering room on site and pedal car racetrack. Verizon cell signal was good. Garbage dumpster and dump station on site.

    Timberline Campground

    Beautiful forested overnight stay

    We called ahead to see if they had sites available that night. Arrived just before the office closed at 7pm. They were ready for us and escorted us to our pull-through full-hookups site near the front of the campground. This is a huge property but laid out in different sections that each have their own flavor. The pull-throughs near the front are level, gravel pads with grass all around. Other areas are forested and some are hilly. Full-hookups worked fine. We stayed in site 121, which faces an open grassy area backed by a little forest that echoed with beautiful wildlife sounds in the evening. There are no campground lights except at the restrooms, so it’s great for stargazing! The restrooms were good.

    Eagle Ridge RV Park

    Lovely campground just off I-35

    Great place for a quick overnight or longer stay. We were there in very early spring so could not use the swimming pool or small lake but the walks around the area were very nice. We stayed in a long FHU pull-through (the one shown in the picture above) in a Class A. Close to the interstate but not noisy.

    Lake Binder Co Park

    Nice city park; reasonable price

    This is a 76 acre lake 1 mile northeast of Corning, Iowa. Electric sites are $20 a night or $800 for the season. There's a dump station and several water spigot. A bathroom with cold running water. There are also several portapotties around the lake. A fire ring and a picnic table at every site. We have seen people catching bass. Boats allowed with Electric motors only.

    Timberline Campground

    Month Family/Work Camp

    Great, safe, and quiet campground. Beautiful site on a pond, clean bath houses, cool weekend amenities, and since we came in October, pretty empty after Labor Day during the week.

    Owners very easy to work with, propane refill was easy, and payment schedule was convenient.

    Overall, would 100% come back to this campground in the future and would love to see it in the summer!
