GenieSummary

The trails were well maintained and the gazebo was a nice touch. The Cedar River was a nice place to cool off on a hot day. We would stay here again but would make sure to get a back in site. This campground is a great place to get away and enjoy nature. It is located near the Cedar River and has beautiful trails and views of the bluffs. The park has been upgraded to include 50 amp for most RV sites, and the sites are mostly level. The restrooms are older but are kept clean, and the campground hosts and rangers are friendly and helpful. There is a stone gazebo and plenty of mature trees for shade. The trails are well maintained and the gazebo is a nice touch. The Cedar River is a great place to cool off on a hot day. There is also good bird watching and fishing. The campground is family friendly and a great place to spend a weekend.

From The Campground

Palisades-Kepler State Park is a beautiful outdoor destination on the banks of the Cedar River outside Cedar Rapids. Dramatic river bluffs, deep ravines, majestic hardwood trees and an abundance of wildlife characterize the area, and Native American Indian mounds mark the early history of the park. Established in 1922, Louis H. Kepler donated his estate to the park in 1928, nearly doubling its size. Much of the park’s rustic character can be found in park structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.
