We were under…read morethe impression that they were doing the dance floor and tent set up, but when they arrived, they dropped off the trailer and said that it costs extra for setup and left.

Everything turned out great after that. Just make sure you discuss set up cost beforehand.

We wanted to get to the brewery at a time that wasn't on Jim's schedule and he was very accommodating and came and picked us up within 5 minutes of us calling him. Awesome. He was just as available when we wanted to head back to our hotel. My main issue? No where on any advertisement did it say that it cost $10/person one way, and we didn't find out until half way through the drive to the brewery. The perfect storm of confusion: -The Toppling Goliath website said they had shuttles -There was no price listed on his schedule -There WAS a price listed on the schedule of the other shuttle company. -We we're not asked to pay when we boarded the bus. -The front desk staff told us "the other company costs $10" (and in hindsight she must have made the same assumptions we did) ...all of which made us assume the shuttle was free. Now I get that Jim wasn't driving out of the goodness of his heart. Everyone has to make a living. But we assumed someone else was paying him, obviously incorrectly. SO. While we were annoyed that we didn't know the cost ahead of time, I'll still give it four stars. He was super quick, but should have told us before we boarded that it cost $10.

Staying in Decorah, I decided that a kayak adventure would be a fun side trip. I called Chimney…read moreTock Camp Ground and they had a spot for me that morning. There are three options for trip length. I picked the 9 mile trip. When arrived there wee several groups of eager canoeists and kayakers getting ready, grabbing paddles and life jackets. You can bring your own if you like. Checking in, the owners were very helpful and friendly. They gave great instructions about the paddle. The river is as fantastic. It is clear as a bell and there were only a few low spots. We were told that the river was down, which really wasn't a problem. Pricing was reasonable. I didn't camp here, but it was very well maintained and super family friendly. Bring your fishing pole, sun screen and enjoy this fabulous river.

Some friends and I visited this campground for the first time during the last weekend in June. We…read morerented two cabins next to each other for 7 of us, which I'm glad we did because even though we could have made one cabin work, the two beds in the loft area were just way too hot to comfortably sleep. Overall a very good experience. Pros - Cabins were clean, beds were comfortable - Cabins had AC - Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, accomplished, and most importantly transparent with us when the river levels were higher than the recommended depth for kayaking. They handled it perfectly: communicated the facts, the risks, and then let us make the decision ourselves. We ultimately decided to stick with our plan to kayak and Im so glad we did because we had a blast. - Porto potties were cleaned regularly. - Showers on site Cons - Camp store is expensive. We were annoyed with how much the fire wood cost us, especially since it was kept outside and was damp from all the rain. - Bed sheets were damp. - Cabins had sinks but no faucet with running water. Overall would definitely visit again. Tip: if you're renting a cabin, cabin 20 is probably the most ideally situated (kind of secluded, surrounded by trees and shade, plenty of outdoor space for games, etc., close to a couple porto potties).

We discovered Iowa's campgrounds were open and stumbled upon this beautiful campground only three hours from the city right along the upper Iowa river. Luckily it was early in the season because they said they fill up fast during summer months. Heads up, there is no cell phone service here but some free wifi if needed. They booked us a tent site right on the rivers edge! The sites were all marked well and were well shaded with trees. Each site had a picnic table and fire ring and gave you enough space between sites. The office has some food for sale and other needed things like firewood. There is also a man made swimming hole/small lake for families to enjoy because the river is hard to swim in sometimes. They have kayak and canoe rentals to enjoy on the river. I highly recommend doing this! The scenery here is beautiful! Way better then we expected. They can shuttle you to either a four hour run or six hour run down the river. We did the six hour run which did get quite long. The water was a little high but it was still very safe for a beginner. I also heard that fishing is great here when the water is clear. The owners are so nice and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable and you and the family will have such a great time here!

We used their shuttle service to kayak the upper Iowa river and had a fabulous time - spotted 30 plus bald eagles, one of which had a brand new fledgling peeking out of her nest.

We were treated to a gorgeous fish filled river with eagles flying up and down the water on a regular basis.

The only gripe I have is that the free wifi only seems to work half the time (usually at 3 AM). I wasn't too thrilled when yesterday someone tried to steal my locked bike (it shook the camper van). Apparently, since they couldn't get that, the Home Depot bucket on my rig was easier to snatch. It is what it is... If you go during the week this place is quiet. Weekends are packed. It can be a little chaotic with very small kids on bikes riding out in front of you as you pull in. Be wary. If you camp 365 days out of the year like I do, you might want to find some place more quiet.
