There was no power the second night. The only solution presented was to move to a different part of the camp grounds about a mile away. The worst part about it is that the Ranger new the power had gone out on several campsites next to ours and did not check to see what sites had power or not. I had to contact the Ranger through the County Sheriff Department as there is no after hours emergency number. Once I spoke with the Ranger, he offered the different site, but did not mention at all that they were aware of the problem of no electricity in our section of the Campgrounds. The campsite was nice along the river and shower/bath house was clean and well kept.

The reservation confirmation doesnt tell you that the checkin station is nowhere near this campground. There are several campgrounds clustered together, and without knowing about where to check in, youve either got an extremely long walk ahead of you, or hope one of the volunteers comes by.

Level sites, easy to back into. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice park on a bluff overlooking the Iowa River below the dam. RV slips don't have a lot of room between campsites. Services include showers and 30amp electricity. No water or sewer at the campsite.

Right on the water; beautiful sunset.

Loved the paved parking spot and the level site. The bathrooms were clean and nice. The grass was cut and the experience was really great for our first ever campsite. Thank you!
