What others are saying about this campground
Island View is a great campground located in Mystic, IA. Its run by the COE and offers spacious electric-only camping sites with water and sewer available. The park is very family-friendly, which means it can be busy, so just be mindful of small children around the grounds. The sites are clean, well-maintained, generally level, and have ample shade. The park offers spectacular lake views, particularly during sunset. The main campground is quiet during weekdays, making it a perfect getaway spot. The facilities are clean, have modern amenities, and OTA TV reception is reasonable. Unfortunately, there are no water hookups, but water is available at numerous spots across the park. With its great value and fantastic views, Island View is undoubtedly one of the nicest campgrounds situated along Rathbun Lake.
