Best Dispersed Camping near Lansing, IA

This is an awesome place to hike, not a very long hike but it’s steep with drop offs. Not for those that are scared of heights.

This is a hike in camping spot, camp spots are not well marked I stayed in the old rock Cory when I camped here, years ago.

Big parties in the cove. No bathrooms no showers, just sand and water. Very busy on weekends in the summer, as long as there is no dredging operations going on, otherwise it’s closed. If it is closed, there are plenty of islands and beaches near by to set up for camping.

The hike up the hill to the overlook is a daunting one. We used a collapsible wagon to haul all the supplies up the hill. There are two hike in sites here at overlooks that give spectacular views. The site has a shelter for the tent as well as other places outside for it. A fire spot and picnic table. Worth the hike.
