"The lake was super gross, with excessive floating moss (probably a weather issue) and EXCESSIVE goose poop everywhere. The beach was basically unusable, with goose bombs everywhere."
"This has been one of my favorite state parks in Iowa to camp thus far. I've tent camped in April and cabin camped in October."

"A very nice park located close to the Iowa border. Close to Effigy Mounds & Pikes Peak! It has great trails & campsites & lots of geocaching! Come one New Years for the annual carp drop :)"
"Camp sites are far enough away from neighbors that there is some privacy. Need a state park sticker to access. Illinois Minnesota and Iowa are all short drives away."

"Unlike Minnesota and Wisconsin, Iowa’s state parks do not require a permit-bonus for RVers. Many sites have full hook-up, most if not all have electric. I paid $25 a night. Full week is $150!!"
"It is within walking distance of the overlook of the magnificent Upper Mississippi River at the confluence of the Wisconsin River. There are other walking/hiking opportunities."
"Small creek runs through the park (on the edge of the campground) and a fun place for kids to explore and play in."
"The RV/pull behind spots here fill up VERY fast. This was no big deal for us since we went for a long tent camping weekend, there are plenty of sites if you are ok without all the hookups."
"The tent camping sites are quiet, well shaded and good access to the fishing stream. Running water Bathrooms closed due to covid but the vault toilets are fine."
$33 / night
"The site itself was sloped away from the road making it feel tucked into the trees. The downside was that the only flat space for the tent was very close to the fire pit."
"Friendly Crowds and secluded spot despite us staying next to the main road for the camping area. Sunsets were beautiful looking west over the Mississippi River."
LegendClean and beautiful campsite. Dry firewood and kindling available. The toilets were clean. The ridge view sites are spectacular but not for those with a fear of heights.
ScoutGood place to camp. Seems safe and friendly. Only down side is that it's cash only. Who carries cash these days?!
GuideVery nice City owned facility . City water only available central locations otherwise a delight spot in a wonderful town
TravelerClean sites with some privacy. Great showers and clean bathrooms. There are lots of places to walk the dogs and great hiking.
Even if you have an inside or non cliff side site, there are plenty of places to sit and watch the sunsets.
Scoutfriendly host, lots of place for my tent
TravelerThis is a great campground. The camp sites were nice and the restrooms were not bad. There is plenty of access to the lake for fishing whether it's from shore or on a boat.
ScoutLarge park, no designated sites, fire rings spread around. Elect posts spread around.water available a dump station on site $2.00 charge. Very green, a river all around the park. Our favorite place in the area. $12.00 a night.
TravelerThis is a clean and well kept campground. There are great paved trails, and it is close to the free John Deere Museum, and the Cedar Valley Arboretum. I’m not giving it a 5 star rating for two reasons: one there are a lot of mosquitoes (I get that it is their home), and two the showers are the type that don’t allow you to mix your own water temperature, and they only stay on for a few seconds every time you press the button. The water was a comfortable temperature for me though. Also, the park does occasionally close for flooding.
GuideSome bugs, decent service, great bathrooms, Very close to a cute town (McGregor) and Effigy Mounds NM.
