Best RV Parks & Resorts near Denison, IA

208 Reviews

Several RV parks around Denison, Iowa provide full hookup options for travelers. Prairie Rose State Park Campground, located about 25 miles southwest of Denison, offers electric, water, and sewer hookups with 50-amp service available at most sites. The park operates from April through December. Nearby, On-Ur-Wa RV Park in Onawa features spacious pull-through RV sites with full hookups. "Large spacious pull thru sites. Extremely clean bathrooms and showers," noted one visitor about On-Ur-Wa. Defiance RV Park and Shelby Country Inn & RV Park both accommodate RVs with electric and water connections, though site spacing tends to be minimal with limited privacy between neighboring vehicles.

Access to dump stations varies across the region's campgrounds, with Prairie Rose and On-Ur-Wa providing on-site sanitary dump facilities. Most parks in the area accommodate pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Sites at Odebolt Memorial Walk RV Park have limited amenities but provide basic electric hookups in a quiet setting. A review mentioned that On-Ur-Wa RV Park serves as "a perfect overnight stop" for travelers passing through on Interstate 29. RV campers should note that Sunset at Blue Oasis RV Park offers both 30-amp and 50-amp connections for larger rigs. During summer months, particularly holiday weekends, reservation availability becomes limited at the more popular parks, making advance booking advisable.

    Arrowhead Park Campground

    Great nature, fishing, and camping park.

    Arrowhead campground has 60 RV sites that support both 30 and 50 amp hookups. They have several well water stations to take on water and a sewer dump station. There also lots of tent camping sites. All sites come with picnic table and fire ring. There are numerous nature trails to hike ranging from easy to hard. There is also a nice sized lake for fishing, canoeing, and paddle boats. The lake has a boat ram for small fishing boats. Very well maintained, managed, and friendly atmosphere.

    Arrowhead Park Campground

    Easy Family Camping Near Omaha

    Our family and another family shared a primitive tent site near the back of the park. We were first and foremost impressed with the freedom we had in choosing our site. Tent camping here is non-reservable, but once you enter the park, you may choose from any spots containing a fire pit outside of RV loops. Tent sites range from lake-front, to playground side, to more private sites on the outer rim of the park. We chose a large, private site at the back of the park. This site was well maintained and had enough space to easily accommodate two families of four. We even had a picnic shelter all to ourselves. Our site was lined by woods and farmland and had a good view of a small pond. The night was full of exciting animal noises from both the nearby farm and pond. Vault toilets were a short walk away with clean shower facilities just a few loops away. The kids enjoyed riding bikes up and down gravel roads, looking for frogs, and playing on the playground. Canoe and paddle boat rental is extremely reasonable. Hiking trails near the park entrance are rugged. The staff was incredibly kind and easy-going, yet attentive. Just a short drive from neighboring towns, this is a good starter campground for families with younger kids. We hope to return in winter to check out the camping cabins.

    Lewis and Clark State Park Campground

    Clean & kid friendly

    Well kept & family friendly camping in Iowa! We were able to reserve an electric unit (#30) right off the lake and across the road from the large playground (~5 setups for different age groups). We could watch the kids play while getting food ready or preparing a line to throw in the water. Short walk to the very clean restrooms with flush toilets & showers. Will come back!

    Pottawattamie County Fairgrounds

    Nice, quiet spot.

    Hidden gem. Just a few mins off I-80 but no noise or signs of heavytraffic. Cute, quaint little town. All pull through spots and all sites are level. Not all spots have picnic tables or fire rings but there were very few campers so we had our pick of spots. Playset for younger kids. Golf course and pool in town. Nice shade trees. Bath house had flushing Toilets. Showers weren't very clean but we didn't need to use them. Perfect for a quick stop and very affordable at $20 for full hookups.

    Prairie Rose State Park Campground

    Peace & quiet

    Reserved electric unit 090 for the weekend, which had a scenic corn field for a backdrop - this is Iowa! Paved roads, level gravel sites, wide & mowed trails, clean pit toilets and a layout that isn’t too cramped. The pond has multiple shoreline fishing spots with picnic tables and a cleaning station. Basic playground in front of the beach which is a short drive or a ~1 mile trail walk away.

    Missouri Valley City Park

    Excellent campground

    I arrived around 3 pm. Noticed the amenities. Which are many. We are visiting in winter. But this is a place to come with your kids or grandkids. So much fun stuff to do. Water park. Playground. Open area. Lots of space. Picnic tables. Stores. Check the web site…

    Lewis and Clark State Park Campground

    Nice evening swim after a hot day

    Vibe: Relaxed summer lake fun. 

    Cleanliness: Average 

    Facilities: Slightly dated but adequate 

    General spots: Good size, good spacing, not private. Large cottonwood trees offer good shade on lake side spots. 

    Our site: 10. Close to the swimming area. Not far from bathrooms. 

    Noise: Friendly chatter. Mostly quiet. Some music from the summer camp across the lake(see below). 

    Cell signal: Good (Verizon)

    Other: The lake isn’t huge, but the water was not murky and you could wade out pretty far and still be shallow enough to stand. A summer camp is across the lake and they played some evening music and morning music starts at 7:30.

    Springbrook State Park Campground

    Small town camping

    Electric sites, no reservations required I don't think. Nice bathrooms, 3 showers for the women's room with a family size shower. Nice playground, volleyball net, basketball court. Picnic tables and fire rings. No cell service down at the campground. You could call that a pro or a con! Really nice campground employees.
