NOTICE
Due to technical difficulties, the full campground map does not display on the webpage. However, if you scroll down further on the page, you will see a listing of each reservable campsite. You can still access the interactive map by clicking on the "interactive map" link. This feature has the same function as the full campground map as well as "zoom in/out" capabilities. In addition, you can also view the printable version of the campground map by clicking on the link "printable map". The printable map identifies which sites are reservable and nonreservable. It does not identify which sites are electric, nonelectric, or full hook-ups. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have this problems resolved as soon as possible.


Warning Camper! Did you Know...
That certain areas within Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin are currently under a federal firewood transport quarantine established by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), U.S. Department of Agriculture to prevent the spread of emerald ash borer (EAB). It is felt that EAB may be resident in the wood and could be spread through firewood transport to un-infested areas like Iowa.

It is in direct violation of the USDA APHIS quarantine for you to bring firewood from quarantined states into Iowa. Do not bring firewood from your state into Iowa.
