Nice, quiet location
It was cool little campsite with lots of trees. We were the only ones there, but it was in the middle of Feb. It was a nice stop.

Neat State Park along Wapsipinicon River
Park has primitive and electric sites atop the bluffs of the river. There is a cg host during camp season. There is a Scout Lodge, restrooms/showers, play ground, shelters, and a golf course in the park. It is a short drive to the river to hike, picnic, paddle, fish. There are 2 boat ramps, one just above the dam. This site is a Registered Historic site.

Stunning spot
This is a really beautiful campground. The RV sites aren’t really out of the ordinary but the park sits upon a slight rise above the Missouri River and the road around the campground leads down to the river. Deer can be seen drinking from the river and grazing along the tree lines. There’s a cool spot where the river crosses the road in a shallow bend. There are even picnic tables scattered around.
The RV sites vary in length from about 25’ up to 60’. Unfortunately, none of them are more than mostly level and several are on about a 20 degree slope. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire pit. Some have electric but none have water. There is a fresh water station but no dump station. (We stopped at another park on the way to here but the park host told us there’s a dump site at the state park in Monticello; it’s about 10 miles from Anamosa). The park does have bathrooms and showers. There are tent sites as well as RV sites. Some sites can be reserved but others are walk-on sites. This year’s park host is a really special guy who’s very, very helpful but also very hands-off. He makes sure everyone respects the park and each other but isn’t intrusive.
Anamosa is a very sweet little town with a lot to offer for dining and local culture. (Don’t miss the “General Store Pub” in Stone City.) If you’re into motorcycles, make sure you visit the National Motorcycle Museum. The collection is exceptional and the arrangement quite intimate — especially considering the size and variety of the collection. We actually came here specifically to tour the museum but we’d definitely come back here for the overall beauty.
