Reservations are available at River Oaks RV Park in Runnells, Iowa, where full hookup sites run $45–$60 per night on gravel pads. Sites have good spacing, and hookup placement is practical: sewer connections require only a single extension, and electrical runs toward the rear of each site, so leveling blocks are likely needed. A recently completed bathhouse and laundry are reported spotless. Free WiFi handles streaming, though occasional freezing has been noted. Campers exploring places to camp around Runnells will find this park well-suited to Iowa State Fair visitors, who can park here and catch a shuttle. Expect a quiet, well-maintained property; note the rough access road before arrival.
