  Brown County Park

  Brown County

  This place is HUGE. We were shocked at the size of the state park and how many many campsites there were. We were back on Taylor Ridge so we had a noticeable drive in/out anytime we went anywhere. Bathrooms were clean and maintained. Sites had ample space. Because it is all on the ridges of the park, there is a significant decline after the campsite “flat area”

  Brown County Park

  Beautiful grounds on a river.

  Besides the beautiful grounds and reasonably price, it was nice because it wasn’t very crowded. But was only first come first served and not all the sites have electric.

  Fort Defiance State Park Campground

  A Hidden Gem in Iowa

  A hidden gem in Northwest Iowa. It is Memerial Day Weekend and on Friday night we had one other tent camper on Friday. None on Saturday. 

  The bathrooms are the old hole going down into a pit. They are very rustic. 

  There are plenty of trails in the park. The big creek that runs through the kiddos can play in. It is not deep but it’s water. There are some other small little creeks too.

  Around the camping area, the kids rode their bikes. We did ride around the roads as a family. 

  The camp site are dirt. 

  There are permanent fire rings and grills at each site. Only place to get firewood was at Hy-Vee. Our site had electricity with 50, 30,& 20 amps. 

  There is only one water spot in the campground. We drank the water and didn’t die. 

  There is a golf course next to the park that is fun. 

  My only real complaint would be there is a lot of people just driving through.

  Eagle Nest Park

  Small and tucked back

  Was a little difficult to find the first time but when we found it I loved it. Back in kinda private. Friendly people group came to celebrate July 4th but respectfully all left early and the nights were quiet. Lots of adventure hiking and wonderfully clean.

  Bright Lake Co Park

  Awesome Sunset!

  Really nice spot almost overlooking the lake (Through the trees), had fire ring, picnic tables and room for quite a lot of tents! For me and my family it was perfect!

  Fort Defiance State Park Campground

  Great Hikes

  Fort Defiance is a forresty natural state park in Iowa. There is Electrical Hook ups a picnic Table and a charcoal Grill already at the camp site. The valley has a small river or a big creek, idk you tell me the difference, what you can cross over a few times on the trails. Depending on the time of day, generally in the morning you can cruise through at day break and find deer on the roads to watch out!
