👍 Rented cabin 2 ....very clean and comfortable. Lots of historical places to visit in the area.

👍👍 This was a lovely outing. Easy parking, shaded picnic area, restroom, water all available. The trail is in great condition, and it’s a fun walk to the top. There’s lots of nature to see, smell, and hear; and lots of history to ponder. There are informational signs and benches along the way. I was ve...

👍👍 6.19.23 - 6-21-23. Very nice relaxing peaceful campground. Level site (14), most RV sites looked level. Good amount of shade and green space around site. All sites are close to very nice restrooms, which are separate all in one bath/shower. Nice 4 mile hike with half sun and half shade. Nice pl...

Popular swimming & picnic spot on Spirit Lake with a stone pavilion, a beach & boat access.

👍👍 Nice little nook on the boarder of Iowa/Minnesota line.

😐 Quiet smal park not far from I90. Good spot to avoid the crowds. Camp sites and grounds look very nice, bathrooms are exceptional. Park wood be a good home base for bigger parks in the area or for traveling down the Des Moines river. Trails need more signage and are in rough shape and severely n...

👍👍 We stayed for 3 nights in campground. Campsites are roomy with lots of trees between sites so creates privacy. Several trails to hike and several docks to fish from. We ended up not kayaking but could have easily spent a day out on the lake. Great beach and picnic areas.

👍👍 We stumbled upon this site in a frenzy to reserve something for the 4th of July weekend, as it was the only open tent spot around. It was SO PERFECT! Very spacious, right by the water, quiet, and right in the corner, not too close to our neighbors. VERY happy that we got this spot, and we'll defi...

Getaway on East Okoboji Lake with a large picnic pavilion, camping, hiking, fishing & a playground.

👍👍 Great views, flat site, electricity, perfect all around!

👍👍 Made my first ever visit here yesterday. I pulled into the parking lot and was somewhat disappointed in the number of cars in the parking lot. It was full. I'm an "off the beaten path" kind of guy, so I tend to enjoy places where I can get away. Grabbed a trail map in the visitor's center (it's...

👍 We put our boat in at the boat ramp here, and it was perfect! Less crowded than the other boat ramp, but wished it was a little bigger, and had more boat trailer parking. We have a big tritoon boat, and our pickup barely moved through the parking lot. Other boat trailers we saw were parked up on gra...
