From The Campground

Stephens State Forest in south-central Iowa is Iowa’s largest state forest, with seven units totaling more than 15,500 acres in five counties. The forest’s primary function is to provide an example of forest management for Iowa woodland species. First established in the 1930s with tree plantings by the Civilian Conservation Corp, Stephens State Forest is also a backcountry destination for outdoor enthusiasts interested in hiking, horseback riding, camping and hunting. The forest offers diverse recreational opportunities such as fishing ponds, picnicking, camping, hunting, hiking, equestrian riding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, and wildlife watching. Visitors can camp year-round in the forest’s non-modern campgrounds in the Lucas and Whitebreast Units. The campgrounds do not have electricity, but do have pit toilets either in the campground or in the vicinity; several sites are set up for equestrian use. Additionally, five backcountry pack-in campsites in the Woodburn Unit have picnic tables and fire rings at each campsite, along with a water hydrant available at the trailhead. There is no fee for these pack-in sites and they are first-come, first-serve. They do not have modern restroom facilities or electricity. Hike, mountain bike or ride horses on more than 30 miles of roads and trails throughout the various forest units. Many of the trails travel deep into the woods with excellent wildlife watching opportunities and few other people. Snowmobiling is popular in winter on designated trails throughout the forest. Hunt on more than 15,000 acres of public land. The diverse habitat is especially good for deer and turkey hunting.
