GenieSummary
This campground is a hidden gem just outside of Des Moines. It is a small park with only about 20 spots, but it is easy to get a spot without reserving ahead. The tent areas are right next to the water, making it a serene and peaceful place to camp. The winding, green waterways are great for canoeing, although water sports like kayaking are not an option right now due to the low and muddy water. There are plenty of trails to hike and some really nice views of the prairies. The campground has fire pits, tables, bathrooms with showers, and porta-potties in some campgrounds. There is also a shooting range, dog training area, and fishing and canoeing when there is enough water. Make sure to bring bug spray and be aware that the park closes at 10:30.
From The Campground
