Beautiful prairie campground
We stopped at this campground for 1 night as we traveled thru. The park was immaculately mowed and the sites were spacious and we'll maintained. It looked like a perfect place to have a picnic as well. Plenty of parking. The lake is narrow and long, so plenty of space to boat. I didn't see a designated swimming areas, so can't say if they're was one or not. I would definitely stay here again.

Great spot!
We stopped here for one night on our trip from Texas to Iowa - very nice campground! It’s well kept, clean, and nice facilities. The site wasn’t very level, but other than that, it was great.

AOK Campground & RV Park
Nice
This is a very clean and well kept campground. Some areas are very close together but I believe we are just all overnight campers in this area. They do have larger campground areas. The bathrooms are kept clean and have nice showers. The pool is also well kept. I would definitely stay here again!

AOK was better than OK
We stayed here in June of 2026. The Campground Managers were friendly and helpful. The campground and facilities were clean. We would stay here again. Nice area to explore.

I lived near Basswood for 20 plus years and did not know anything about it but where it was. My wife and I decided to live in our camper while we transition homes and I am so pleased with this place. Friendly, easy going, safe.
