What others are saying
The park is well maintained and the trails are well marked. The trails are also well maintained and provide a great opportunity to explore the area. There are several small caves to explore, and the park is abundant with wildlife. The park is located in the Chicago suburbs and is only a few hours drive away, making it a great weekend getaway. The park is well taken care of and the sites are quiet, level, and decently sized. Prices are also very reasonable at $6/night. The bathrooms are clean and there are trash cans in the general area. The trails are wet, so be sure to wear hiking boots for safety and to keep your feet dry. The caves close frequently due to concerns for wildlife, so make sure to check the park website for details about when they will be open and respect the closures when they occur. Be sure to clean your shoes before and after visiting the park to prevent spreading potentially dangerous fungus to the caves. With all its natural beauty, this park is a great place for group camping and exploring nature!

From The Campground

With more caves than any state park, Maquoketa Caves is one of Iowa’s most unique outdoor attractions. Enormous bluffs tower throughout the park, and a six-mile trail system winds through geologic formations and forests brimming with natural beauty. As one of the state’s earliest state parks, Maquoketa Caves has been a popular destination for picnickers and hikers since the 1860s. Grab your hiking shoes and a flashlight before traveling to Maquoketa Caves, because this state park is nothing short of adventure.
