This is a hidden gem, off the beaten path. It is secluded, quiet and the rv spots have a lot of room between them. A beautiful location and really well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. If we are back in IA, we’ll make a point of staying there.

When we made the reservation, she recommended spot 36. It was the most beautiful site we have ever seen. The trees were fully grown with lots of shade. We were right next to a beautiful overlook of the Des Moines River with 4 comfy chairs. The park was peaceful and a nice place to walk the dogs. I do recommend that you pack bug spray as the mosquitoes were fierce and plentiful.

We absolutely loved staying at Derek and Tina’s A-frame. From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and at home—even traveling with our toddlers. The space had everything we needed and more. It’s truly a beautiful place, and you can tell how much care goes into keeping it clean and well-maintained. We made such special memories here and will definitely be making our way back again. Highly recommend!
