I have camped here a few times and fished here often. 

The campground is actually just the parking lot with a few makeshift fire rings available. There is a port-a-potty available most of the year (but not winter). A couple sites are very close to the stream, which is wonderful to have the flowing water sound to help me fall asleep.

This campground can get very busy during the spring, summer, and fall. RVs will often run their generators all night long, which is not great for those in tents. I tend to avoid camping here when it is busy (I still fish, just no camping when it is crowded).

Winter offers quite a bit more solitude, both in the campground and on the trout stream. Many times I have been the only person camping here during winter. The campsite is not plowed, so a 4WD is recommended.

North Bear Creek is one of the most popular trout streams in Iowa. It offers fishing for a variety of skill levels from simple power-bait up to fly fishing.
