Last year my wife and I checked the campground out and were disappointed that it was out of sight of the lake. This year, scrub trees have been removed, so the lake is visible from the lower campground. We’re looking forward to camping there. It’s August, and my wife and I are camping here in our new “tall” teardrop trailer. The electric sites here off RV sewer row have 50-foot cement pads, electric access, and water. The sites are clean, and the plots nicely mown. The camp hosts were polite and helpful. The restroom/showers are pretty new, although there are only two showers and two toilet stalls in each gender restroom, two for the women and one urinal and sit down for the men. It might get busy come weekends. The tent area is completely separate from the electric sites, with great grass and flat areas for tents. There are shade trees with a couple with great shade. Water has recently been brought in, at least a couple of spigots. A fairly large minus is that there are no restrooms in this area, at this time, so its somewhat of a hike if nature is calling! Van Buren County made a good effort to make this park an easy camping experience, and I’ve seen quite a few county parks in SE Iowa because of my bicycle camping. If you want local primitive camping, hit the campgrounds in Shimek Forest. Sugema is more civilized, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Very clean lake and campground. Nice level sites for the trailer. Definitely a boating and fishing lake.
Wonderful little campground! They upgraded the pads and installed water for each site.
Best Campground! Quiet, even on Rally Weekend! Calming large lake to fish, paddle boat, kayak or whatever you want. Cannot wait to go back! One of my favorite things ever is the CLEAN restrooms and showers. That is a must for me and they were awesome! Can't wait to go back next year!
Nice campground with a great view of Lake Sugema.
