Best Cabin Camping near Dolliver, IA

17 Reviews

Several campgrounds within driving distance of Dolliver, Iowa provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Thorpe Park offers a cabin for rent near a series of small lakes, providing access to bathrooms and water facilities. According to visitor Peter H., the cabin is "near the water and has bathrooms and a water faucet," with good AT&T cell coverage. Jackson KOA, located in Minnesota, features cabin accommodations with access to clean facilities including showers, toilets, and a pool. Flying Goose Campground & Resort provides cabin options on Lake Imogene with immaculately maintained grounds and facilities, including clean bathrooms and showers that visitors consistently praise.

Rustic cabins and more modern units are available depending on the location, with most requiring advance reservations, especially during peak summer months. The Jackson KOA operates from April 15 to October 13, while Flying Goose Campground is open May 1 to October 31, making cabin camping a primarily warm-weather option in this region. Many locations are pet-friendly, though specific policies vary by campground. Wesley South Park and Sands Country Cove Campground also offer cabin rentals with electric hookups. Visitors to Jackson KOA note the "incredibly nice" staff and well-maintained facilities, making it popular for both overnight and extended stays.

Most cabin rentals provide basic furnishings but require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, from basic fire pits with picnic tables to more equipped options with refrigerators or microwaves. On-site camp stores at Flying Goose Campground and Jackson KOA offer essential supplies, though selection is limited. Visitors planning extended cabin stays should bring cooking equipment, food supplies, and outdoor gear. Bathroom and shower facilities are typically shared among campground guests rather than private to individual cabins, with most locations maintaining clean, accessible facilities.

    Thorpe Park

    Really neat little park

    Gorgeous little park right on a series of small lakes. Camping is in grassy and forested area. You dive on grass and park next to a table and power outlet. Many of these spots are not level and seem better suited to tents than larger RVs but some spots could work for vans, class C or small class A RVs. I also saw one cabin for rent. This is all near the water and has bathrooms and a water faucet. I also noticed pretty good AT&T cell coverage here. This area has historically been bad for cell coverage so maybe that is improving.

    Really nice set up for a quick stay over off of I-90

    We found this place by accident, and were very happy we did. It’s a small family run campground with mostly seasonal campers. Set along the shores of Lake Imogene, which comes out of nowhere surrounded by farm land, and you can’t even see it from the road. Mature shade trees everywhere, Impeccably clean bathrooms, showers, etc. playground, small homemade mini golf course, volleyball, basketball, the works to keep the kids happy and entertained while you relax in a quiet clean setting. We stayed in a bull through site with two other campers, were nice and spaced out and didn’t hear them at all, but we’re told on weekends because of an on-site wedding venue, there are more people and the campsites are full. Mid-week night stats are tops though, and we would absolutely stay here again. The pull through sites have electric, water and sewage at every site.

    Everyone we met (owners, staff, other campers) were extremely nice. Good people, great stay.

    Jackson KOA

    Great little park!

    We stopped here for 2 nights on our way to South Dakota. The park is small, but very well maintained, and man, literally every person there was INCREDIBLY nice! I met the previous owner of the park and his wife, and told about some cool things to do in the area including the Jeffers Petroglyphs, a fort in the town of Jackson, and the town from Little House on the Prairie.

    Our site was level, easy to get into, and had a nice tree providing some shade. Water pressure was good, no issues with electric. One thing I noticed that I thought was really cool was they had a good sewer hose at the dump station for guests to use so they didn’t have to dig theirs out. That is the kind of thought the owners put into the experience at their park. Simple, nice perks that make the experience just that little bit extra good, and there were things like that throughout the park.

    There is a small grocery store about 5 mins south of the park, a Burger King right across the street, and a few gas stations. New Ulm is about an hour away and well worth the visit! Cool little downtown area with lots of history, great restaurants, and cool shops.

    Sands Country Cove Campground

    Quiet, peaceful campground

    The camp host was very nice and accommodating. The property was well kept. Peaceful lakefront property with a playground, mini golf, and ice cream for kids (and parents). You drive through farm fields to get there and we were surprised when we arrived at how nice it was. It was just as described.

    Flying Goose Campground & Resort

    Pristine and peaceful

    What a gem! We were there for a one night mid-week stay, and it was so quiet and calm because ~70% of the spots are taken by seasonal guests who are primarily at the campgrounds on the weekends. Right on Lake Imogene, there is a boat dock and a sandy swimming beach (which we had entirely to ourselves!). The grounds are well-maintained and very clean. There are three playgrounds (one at the swimming beach), a mini golf course, and an actual phone booth. The owners live on site and are very kind and accommodating. We got a late checkout for an additional $10, allowing us to really take advantage of this amazing spot. Highly recommended.

    Nice campground on nice lake

    Large campground with a play park and other sporting area. Lake to swim in - no lifeguard offered. Large sites with water/electric hook up - some full hook sites and big rig friendly. The site we were put in was not set up well for the connections however it was a large site. Very muddy site but they offered to let us use a rug so we didn’t get ours all Muddy.

    Jackson KOA

    Alright but not the best for a KOA

    We go in early in the afternoon after traveling from Madison WI.  

    The KOA seemed alright but I was very disappointed in the long term/ Full time RVs parked there.  Some were alright but a couple of pretty dumping ones.  

    They were not full and I can understand the reason.  

    The facilities seemed to be well maintained.  The pool and playground were very nice and the sites we stayed around were fine.  It was just those few trailers that gave it that run downed feeling. If they took care of those even made them clean the area around them and wash them it  would go up a star or 2.

    The internet was iffy again and I guess we will just have to live with that though I did expect more from a KOA.

    That night they did have live entertainment but we did not know about it until they started to play.  It was locals I think that lived there and was like a jam session.

    Well kept campsite

    Well maintained campground with fishing piers and a swimming beach. A lot of seasonal/permanent sites. Transit spots were a little tight but owners did what they could to space you out. Very accommodating.
