What others are saying about this campground
Yellow River State Forest - Little Paint Campground is a primitive camping site that offers fire rings with grates, tables, and pit toilets. The campground is located near the Indian Mounds in Iowa, nestled deep in the woods near a small river. The park features equestrian and hiking trails, as well as trout fishing accessible from all three nearby campgrounds. Little Paint Creek is the largest of the two non-equestrian campgrounds and offers trout fishing opportunities suitable for beginners. The Paint Creek campground is the authors favorite and generally quieter. Its trout stream is bigger and offers more challenging fishing opportunities. The campsites are usually pretty quiet, with several pit toilets available. Water is available at the entrance of the park. Cell service is possible at times, but not always reliable at the campsite.
