GenieSummary
Pikes Peak State Park is a beautiful campground located high on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers. The campground offers a variety of trails for all abilities, ranging from easy to moderate, and stunning views of the river valley below. There are a number of electric sites with access to drinkable water, and a concession stand with snacks and souvenirs. The campground is also home to Spook Cave and Effigy Mounds National Monument, both of which are worth a visit. The sites are gravel and shaded, but can be a bit uneven and require some leveling. The park is also home to a variety of wildlife, making it a great spot for nature lovers. The park is due for a major makeover in 2021, but until then, visitors should be aware that there is limited water hydrants throughout the park and that the electric boxes in sites are placed in strange areas. There is also no readable map or campground host to help visitors locate their site, and the dumping station requires manual assistance/pumping. Despite these issues, visitors can still enjoy the amazing views of the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers, the many well-marked trails, and the clean bathrooms with plenty of hot water.
From The Campground
Famed for its majestic views of the Mississippi River, Pikes Peak State Park is one of Iowa’s premier nature destinations. Located on a national scenic byway, the park features 11 miles of trails brimming with scenic bluffs and valleys. Walk the half-mile trail to see Bridal Veil Falls, hike to Point Ann overlooking the nearby town of McGregor or see where the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers meet atop a 500-foot bluff. A hiker’s delight and one of the most picturesque regions in the state, Pikes Peak is a must for anyone wanting to see the breathtaking views of Iowa.
