Nice quiet Campground. Not every site has water, so be sure to double check. Our electric was sketchy but the staff was quick to come fix it (switched out the breakers). Be sure to have your regulator on. Fishing was so so. Hubby caught one catfish but that was it. There was no checkin, but DNR came around as we were parking. Nice guys.
This was my second time here, trails were well maintained until we got to the so-called scenic overlook off frog hollow trail. Led us to a dead end. If you think that is scenic, you need to get out more, other than that was nice, and had to cross the creek once since it ran thru the path.
This summer (2020) going here to go hiking on the trails was a great way to get out of the house and still stay socially distant from others. We went on 3 different trails there. Each great in there own way. One time we took our dogs out with us and they loved it. There's not just trails, there's the Volga Lake to fish from and there's trout streams all over there as well. Theres camping (we haven't done there since we don't live far from there). You can go horse back riding on some of the trails as well. So check them out and see what other things they may have to offer that I didn't mention ....oh and Heavens Winery is very close by as well check them out too.
This is a beautiful Iowa State Park and campground. The campground is clean with LARGE lots and many full hookups. The bathrooms and shower rooms are also clean and well maintained. The river is good for kayaking and swimming (average depth 2-3 ft when we went). Great place with room for activities!
Fantastic campground. Best bathrooms and showers of any campground we have stayed at. Great hiking trails. Lots of geocaching. Only qualm is unlike most state parks, they don't sell firewood. Seems like a lost opportunity to me!
