I've camped in the tent area quite a few times through the years. It's the right price and a perfect location as we travel. The pit toilet is available year round and is kept clean. Many of the trees in the tent area are hammock friendly. The only issue is that the tent area does not drain well when it rains. I happened to have rain the last couple times staying. I stayed dry, but the tent area turns pretty muddy.
Very clean and affordable campgrounds! The showers and restrooms were clean and plenty of space. The safe turnabout for the kids to ride their bikes and scooters. Located just a few minutes outside of Dubuque. Sewer dumping is also on site before you leave the grounds!
It's a nice campground and they sell firewood. Showers and bathroom were okay but the water had a sulfer eggy smell. Their was also a park on the other side the was nice with lots of set up for propagating native flowers.
This well maintained county park is set in an area of large deciduous trees that provide shade and features water and electric sites and a dump station. Sites have a table and fire ring and firewood is available. A park that is connected is for day use and has several playgrounds and a trout stream. As is common with government run campgrounds the bathhouse is devoid of any aesthetic appeal. The concrete floors in the push button showers are stained rust colored, perhaps from iron in the water? The water has a strange smell. The nozzles spray irregular patterns. Most of the hooks in the shower are broken off and there is no place in the shower to put things like soap and shampoo. The playground is in the adjacent day use area. The area is beautiful and Dubuque is easily accessed.
Great family camp ground. RV and tent sites. Electric is available. 5$ for firewood, sales end at 6 pm. Sites are reasonably priced. They have showers and a playground.
