Several campgrounds offer small camp stores for forgotten items, though selection is limited. As one camper at Viking Lake noted, "They have a little shop in the camping area that the camp hosts open various hours of the day. It is super cute, but very small, so it does not have everything you might need." Bedford is nearby with a Hy-Vee grocery store and Dollar General for more substantial supply runs.
