I would give this spot as a Negative 4 ( -4) Very unwelcoming space. We put out money in on August 24 to use Space # 7 for labor day weekend we set up at Lot # 7 on Friday NO ONE else was at the campground on Friday night. On Saturday a DNR employee came in an said some dude from Bettendorf had reserved that space. First of all this space is a space that can not be resreved First come first served. The DNR dude ( Rude man) said someone else had reserved that spot.....We were already set up and had paid $30.00 on August 24th ( I had the check duplicate and showed the rude DNR employee. ) he said we could move to another spot...to take own an entire camp sight including a pop up camper is a pain to tear down and reset up. So I told Rude DNR dude that I just wanted my two nights Mon

There are few campgrounds in Iowa as woodsy as this. Primitive: no water or electricity, pit toilets, a picnic table and fire ring provided. The lake is small but nice

★★★★★ 5.0 Andrew T · Aug 2019

Very remote and you never see anyone else there usually we're the only ones camping good Lake to go fishing

★★★★★ 5.0 Josie Douthart-Poe · May 2024

This is primitive camping. Does have an outhouse available but no water or electrical hook ups. Which doesn't negatively impact us since we tent camp. It's beautiful and peaceful.

★★★★★ 5.0 P.J. Wubbena · Oct 2022

Very beautiful place to camp. Primitive. Had to get water at the Casey's in town, and the Casey's staff were very kind to do it for no charge. I would stay here again.
