Annie and Abel Van Meter State Park Campground
Reviewed May. 22, 2023

Well maintained campgrounds with short trails and lake for fishing

We camped out here for the weekend. 

The campground is one circular lot with I think around 18 spots. Some are basic just for tents and some have water and or electric. 

The ones on the inside of the circle have more space and are more open but you don't have any privacy. Most spots on the outside of the circle, especially on the north and west sides have more privacy but not as much space. 

The grounds are well kept with grass while maintained. 

I hiked on most of the trails in one day. I missed the memorial trail and boardwalk. Home that I walked on will maintained. Some of them are more difficult than others but none of them too strenuous. 

Note about the lake - Once you get to the parking lot for the lake you'll see nothing but trees. On the east side of the parking lot (next to the state park signage/billboard) there are two trail heads. Take the one on the left. There's a quarter mile hike down to the lake. The way back is mostly uphill. Not too steep, but steep enough you might feel it if you don't do much hiking/walking. 

Playground It had a nice playground for small kids including a little play area and some swing sets. 

Restrooms There were two bathrooms present. One was a traditional drop toilet. It had a solar fan so surprisingly it did not have any smell. The other bathroom has a shower and the women's had two toilets and the men's had one toilet and a urinal. Everything was clean. 

Dog-friendliness We did not take any dogs but we saw plenty of people who had dogs.
