Skip A Way Campground & Resort

Skip a Way was our favorite weekend getaway we’ve had in years! Tenting Was a great way to get away and relieve stress. It's always great spending time with the kids and getting to show them new things. Lots to do within walking distance.

We had such a wonderful time camping here. They have it all - tube rentals, a petting zoo, a store, and hookups if you want that too! The site is clean and so pretty too.

I’ve never been on a Kayak before but sure did have a fabulous time on my first trip out. The rental was absolutely reasonable and Turkey River was a great place to learn and to cool off when I fell in…………more than once.

Okay, I haven’t used the RV park. We’ve gone here many times with our children to play on the little beach and in the water park area. There are tables with umbrellas nearby. We bring our own picnic and toys. From what I’ve seen , the visitors (and probably staff, too) keep the area nice and clean. You can’t swim in the pond, but there’s a canoe/inner tube rental place within walking distance in the Turkey River. It’s also close to a nice picnic spot, also within walking distance. Depending on the season, rock hounds will be happy pretty much all along the river. My grandson found the skeletonized head and upper body of a hawk or falcon there. The entire area is great for fossils. There’s also a lot of agate and jasper. Further, Iowa is the Geode State; there are less here than near Keokuk, but you might get lucky

I absolutely love this campgrpund. I travel for work, so I have been staying here for a while already, and this campground makes me want to move this way permanently just to utilize it! They have showers, bathrooms, laundry rooms, a bar and grill open on the weekends, and cheap wood for sale (a wheelbarrow full for 7$!!). They have a splash pad on the weekends for the kiddos, a beach to swim, and the lake to kayak or paddleboard (oh yeah, they rent those too!!) I was here for their AMAZING 4TH OF JULY weekend, with fireworks, live music, food and boozy pineapples, hello shots, and a shuttle if you didn't want to walk, but could not drive 😋 😉 I just absolutely love the environment. The owners are great. Nothing but wonderful things about this place. Stay here! You won't regret it! They have permanent spots, too, if you wanna park your camper for good!!
