Reviews
tripadvisorThis place offers 89 acres of pristine primitive camping, many right along the Cedar River. You may picnic here but please pack up what you bring in! My pet-peeve. There is fishing available as is a boat ramp nearby. Pit toilets are offered as well. Hunting is allowed during the various seasons. It offers just a few trails but none of them are marked or maintained. You will be walking mainly on deer paths so wear reflective colors so the hunters don't mistake you for wildlife. This is a nice break on a hot day to just get away, read a book(if many of you still do that kind of thing) or if you can get a signal, check your emails or text or does anyone still actually talk to people?This is also a great place to hang out with friends or whomever as this is like many secluded natural areas I have discovered in Iowa: beautiful, quiet and peaceful. In my opinion. Parking is available but be careful-this place is prone to flooding! So the entrance may be washed-out or have ruts in them as I encountered on this day.
