Arrowhead Park Pottawattamie County Park

Arrowhead Park houses this county campground operated by the Pottawattamie County Conservation Board, providing year-round camping access with full hookups for RVs up to 60 feet. The campground divides into four distinct areas: two smaller sections near the entrance and two larger camping zones positioned across the lake. Most sites include electrical connections, with several lakefront and riverside locations available on a first-come basis.

The facility centers around a lake that offers canoe and paddleboat rentals at rates under $5 per hour. A modern bathhouse serves the main camping areas, while additional restroom facilities support the entrance zones. T S. notes the restrooms and showers are "very clean" with no additional shower fees. The campground maintains level sites, with Site 20 specifically mentioned as a riverside location on the far side of the lake.

Local fishing activity brings consistent day-use traffic throughout the park, particularly around the lake and gravel parking areas. The facility includes a playground and several gazebos for group gatherings. Tent campers can select waterfront sites for direct lake access. Nightly fees run $20, making this an economical option for travelers using Interstate 80, located close enough for convenient highway access without road noise interference.

Worst canp I've ever paid for.

Tried this place twice. Horrible both times. They failed to mention this last time that the campground was going to become a parking lot for a nearby event at 0600.

Nice park; not great for tents.

This is a nice and well maintained park, though some amenities were still closed for winter in mid-April. It is a popular spot for locals to fish and hang-out, which means there is a lot of noise at all hours. Most of the tent sites are near a large gravel parking lot, so it gets inconvenient. Otherwise, it is a nice place for the price - when everything is available.

This was the perfect place for us — just passing through on our way out to Wyoming. This camp ground is awesome all around — especially for tent campers. Absolutely beautiful views of the lake and so many open camp sites even on the 4th of July. I wish we could have spent more time here.

Perfect getaway

Perfect place to get away for the weekend. Grounds are clean bathrooms are clean. Shout out to Dave the park ranger for being very generous. We drove from Davenport to stay here for Father’s Day weekend and we will definitely be back. You also can tent camp right next to the water as well. Love it!

The staff are amazing

We rolled into the campground looking for a clean place to spend the night. Since it was pre-memorial day, we had our pick of prime spots. Once we found our site, we went for firewood and to pay. The staff were so nice when we got there. They took care of everything and we were on our way to a peaceful night.

Great Place to Spend a Night or Two

As of 2021 the fee per night was $20.00. Almost all sites have electricity. Additionally there are running water restrooms and showers (both very clean). There is no fee for the showers. There are two small camping areas near the entrance and two larger areas on the far side of the lake.

We stayed in Site 20 on the far side. It was level and on the river (there are a few sites on the lake).

Canoes and paddle boats are available for rent (prices are out of the 1960’s…less than $5.00 per hour). A large playground for children looked new and in great shape. There are also picnic areas with some gazebos.

The park and campground were immaculate and well maintained. If you’re traveling down I 80 in West Iowa and want a beautiful, inexpensive county park to stay at, there isn’t a better choice.

Wonderful campground

This place was great. Nice setting close to I80 without highway noise. It is first come so is probably busy in summer. Bathhouse was so clean and nice. Stop by office first to see if there are sights available. First 2 campgrounds before office and one with pull through site. we were near the bathhouse which was modern otherwise outdoor ones. We biked into town - so much fun. We were there after Labor Day in a Thursday night so many sights available. Cost was only $20 a night.
