When booking different campgrounds/rv parks you never know what to expect. You can look at the…read morepictures but they either make a place look nicer than it is or understate the beauty of the location. This park went beyond my expectations. Okay, I admit I thought Iowa was one big corn field. Well in a sense it is but there are many rolling hills with green tree belts in between. The park is located around a beautiful little lake that offers camping, fishing, swimming and boating opportunity. Certain sections offered multiple lake view sites, some were reservable to sites. We were lucky and reserved a view of the lake and no camper on other side. The park seemed well maintained, beautiful old grove trees through out. Like some County and State parks they offered power but no sewer or water. Some sites had water close enough to refill we did not. So we had to be careful with our usage and showered at the one facility. This will be my only complaint, the women's shower was dirty and needed a good cleaning. They had a water refill stations and dump station as well as outhouses. The one close us was clean. I took my mountain bike out on the trail that runs around part of the lake over dams, bridges over marshy areas, thick forest and beaches. It wasn't actually a single track trail mostly on grass that is kept mowed down wide as golf cart width. It was rated intermediate not because it was technical, I believe it was because it had some steep hills that had me breathing hard. I would highly recommend this gem of a park while traveling through or if you want a nice camping weekend in Iowa.

We camped in a cabin for couple of nights at Waubonsie State Park near Hamburg, Iowa. It's about…read moreten miles from Nebraska City. We had cabin #4 which at one time was part of a Girl Scout camp that got added to the existing park in the Loess Hills. For $60 a night we rented a two bedroom cabin. We could also bring our dogs. It didn't have running water or a bathroom but conveniently, a vault latrine and outdoor water pump were in close proximity. A regular bathroom with showers was a short walk away. There were two sets of bunk beds in one room and a full-sized bed in the other. Renters must provide their own bedding, pillows, towels, toiletry items, cooking utensils, pots and pans, and dinnerware. With a microwave and coffeemaker but no other appliances, some cooking was done outdoors. It did have a couch, a couple of chairs and a dinette set, as well as a picnic table outside. Waubonsie is a hikers paradise with lots of trails including equestrian trails and camping. If you're into fishing, Lake Virginia is 7 acres with largemouth bass, bluegill and channel cat. You can launch your boat (electric motor only) or peacefully canoe. Waubonsie is not for you if you like an action-filled vacation. It's a beautiful, quiet and peaceful retreat from stressful living. Not surprisingly, do watch out for ticks in the spring.

Wow, I went to the Springbrook Conservation Education Center yesterday and was amazed. There was a…read moreFly Fishing Cabin Retreat for Fly Tying sponsored by the center as well as by Central Iowa Fly Fishing. We stayed in the dorms and had our meals at the dining hall. It is truly a 4 star lodging compared to my previous experience at other camps in PA, MA, and OK. There are tons to do if you want a break from fly tying-- Atl-atl (spear throwing), archery, trail hiking, plus exploring the lake. I went ice fishing for the first time at the park and it was pretty cool. The dorms are great-- hot water and heat a major plus in addition to linens and bath towels. Dining hall is pretty large and food was pretty good with sticky buns for breakfast, soft tacos for lunch, and fried chicken for dinner. Be sure to check out a weekend stay for their education series. You will not be disappointed.

The swings are also a great addition! It is a great area to leisurely walk or bring pets as walking companions.

No matter which side you pick to camp on you are going to be close enough to walk to the middle. Or somewhere where there is water to fish in. In the middle is beach area. You can swim at the beach. You can get snacks at the snack house or you can get a paddle boat, kayak, or canoe and rent from the snack house. (They have ice cream too) There is a is even a wood floor skating rink! This was my favorite thing. I am a grown woman and I still love to skate. They pull up the window shutters and play music you can hear all the way out to your camper if you are on the waters edge. We took advantage of their Frisbee course. Its a smaller one, but it was set up nice and a perfect size to teach my parents how to play Frisbee golf. There is a golf cart that comes around in the evenings selling firewood and ice. What a fantastic idea. We only wished there was a little better signage or maybe another dump station. We only located one to fill up and dump for this big campground. I will be back. FYI- this was new. The local golf course was offering free golfing to campers. So it was purchase 9 holes get 9 free for the campers here. They don't have rental clubs yet, so you'll want to bring your own.

I came on a warm October afternoon to check out the nine-hole disc golf course. My first impression was a good one. This course is well maintained: manicured fairways, clean baskets and concrete tee pads. While none of the holes were much more than 300 feet from tee to pin, there were plenty of trees and shrubs to add a bit of challenge to your throws. The first four holes are just north of the parking lot as your drive in. The back five are tucked behind the monument, and offer a more secluded environment, complete with sweeping valley views in between some seriously tough shots -- especially hole seven, a real beast of a hole. As is the case with a lot of local courses, I spent much of my first round attempting to find the tee pads, a few of which aren't marked properly. This is easily fixed, however, so hopefully the local disc golf club has something in the works.
