Had such a great time and got to visit Aledo and see the charm of this small town!

    Iowa Gem!

    Cute little RV/tent campground. Very nice hosts. Only stayed 1 night. Definitely on the 'let's go back' list. Waubonsie trail behind park is a short hike to the covered bridge and Dutchman's Store. Perfect Way to stretch your legs after a long day on the road. Bathrooms and showers were exceptionally clean.

    Lake Darling State Park Campground

    Beautiful lake/Nice Campground

    Nice campground with some newer facilities, well kept up and clean.  There are 2 parts to the campground, both nice and fairly full-but not completely on the weekend we stayed. Sites were fairly level and all pretty close to the showers/restrooms, and well spaced out between sites.   There were several hiking trails-maps seemed to not quite fit the trails and lake to some degree.  Several ponds have been added to the lake and along the hiking trails that aren't on the map that could assist in knowing where you're at along the trails.  Trails were signed fairly well but still seemed somewhat off from the maps both online and on site.

Almost empty during the week, but very busy on summer weekends. Hiking,fishing, swimming, kayaking,bird watching. There are many things to keep you busy here.

    Lake Darling State Park Campground

    Beautiful getaway

    We stayed on the primative group side of the lake.  There is a small pond that we were able to let some of our scouts get started in kayaks and canoes before getting into the main lake.  Great fishing and walking paths.  Iowa has done a great job fixing up this area.  The cabins are small but clean.

    Favorite Childhood Site

    The Lake has been recently drained and refilled. The new trails around the lake are so wonderful. Electric and tent sites. Brand new five season cabins. Great all year round!

What you should know

Primitive options available: Spring Lake Park offers both developed and primitive sites. "I've camped here several times at the primitive sites. It's a decent hike in but once you get there, the view of the lake is worth it. It's just a nice, peaceful place to camp," writes Mandi C.

Utility placement considerations: When selecting full hookup sites at Lake Darling, note the layout. "The full hookup sites have the neighbors waste tube close the campers picnic table.
