Updog RV & Camping

Fishing enthusiasts will find a pond stocked for angling at Updog RV & Camping, a small private campground operating from mid-April through mid-November in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. The property sits near a fishing pond where campers can cast lines for bass and other species, with geese frequently visible around the water.

The campground accommodates RVs up to 45 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Sites are positioned close together, with some reviewers noting tight spacing that can limit awning use and slide-out clearance. Mature shade trees cover much of the property, providing relief during hot summer days but potentially affecting cell phone reception in some areas. The bathhouse receives consistent praise from visitors, with Joe M. noting "very clean restrooms and showers."

Both drive-in and walk-in sites are available, with tent camping permitted alongside RV spaces. The campground maintains a quiet atmosphere according to multiple reviews, and pets are welcome on the property. Campfires are allowed, and a dump station serves those needing to empty holding tanks. For additional camping choices, visitors can explore campgrounds around Mount Pleasant within the broader area.

Reservations are recommended during peak season, particularly for sites closest to the pond which tend to fill first.

TERRIBLE

Worst place I have stayed in my 6 years of traveling as an RN. Yes, they had shade. Made cell service very hard to receive. ONLY other thing they has was geese and fishing. No picnic table, no firepits. I had a 30amp space. With slide out on each side, and not superslides either, I had EXACTLY 1 foot left on each side of my slides. I could not put out my awning as it would hit the camper next to me. No zero space behind camper as it went to a steep slope from my spare wheel. If I walked behind camper, I had to hang on to spare wheel or fall down the slope. Barely enough room in from of camper to park pickup at an angle. I have never seen anything like this place before. And hope I never do. Pictures you see of campground are SO VERY MUCH deceiving !!!!!. I rate it a one star only because it will not allow me to go any lower.

Thank you for your review Kevin. We're sorry your expectations of our small family campground did not live up to the large KOA's and campgrounds near tourist attractions and large cities that you're used to. We have so many folks that love this little place. and come back year after year, we must be doing something right! Will say your info is not entirely accurate, but you have safe travels my friend! Hoping your next stop has all the amenities your dreaming of!
