Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
September 14 Four! by Rich
This park boasts a beautiful, wooded, and uncrowded campground with adequate bathroom facilities including shower. It has wonderful caves to explore and is very near the great little town of Anamosa, IA. The only drawback is that the campground is situated next to a public golf course. You may not be an early riser but rest-assured, the golfers and grounds staff are.
