This seasonal campground operates from mid-April through mid-October along the Upper Iowa River, accepting reservations and accommodating RVs up to 50 feet with electric and water hookups. The facility provides full amenities including restrooms, showers, a dump station, and WiFi access for campers who need connectivity.
Upper Iowa Resort and Rental combines camping with water recreation through its on-site tube, canoe, and kayak rental service. The operation includes shuttle transport to upstream put-in points, allowing paddlers to float back to the campground. A man-made pond with surrounding beach area provides swimming access separate from the river. Sites include both riverside locations and interior grass pads with adequate spacing between neighbors.
"Bathrooms and showers were clean (but very busy) and a nice camp store," reports Erin A.. The facility operates a camp store for supplies and treats. Nearby options include Joe's Campground and Big Joes Little Campground, both located within a few miles northwest.
Reserve riverside sites well in advance, as these fill quickly during peak season. The shuttle service requires advance booking during busy weekends.
