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!

Outstanding place to camp. Hookups were easy to use, facilities well maintained and clean,…read morehelpful, amazing caretakers right on the property. 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. The resort has a small lake on site, Wi-Fi, and is close to a small town if you need to get back to a little civilization. We were treated to a gorgeous fish filled river with eagles flying up and down the water on a regular basis.

This place was a great idea and much cheaper than one of the mediocre hotels in town after we split the cost. It's a very nice setting. I'm docking a star due to the single bathroom and the fact that the bathroom door wouldn't quite close all the way. Otherwise we had a great stay. The firewood pile was a bit light and we inquired about getting more from the owners and they were very responsive and brought us a big pile within an hour. The owners were also very good about our multiple billing since we split the cost five ways.

Every aspect of this property is tidy and thoughtfully appointed, from the room, to the gardens, to the common areas of the home. We discovered another delightful detail each day and still reminisce about how much we enjoyed our time in Decorah. The handmade (organic, locally sourced) breakfast items and timely, detailed communications with our hosts were especially on-point -- a real treat in the commodified/digital age of travel. If you're looking for centrally located lodging of GREAT VALUE in Decorah, please give this property a long look. You will not be disappointed.

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.

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).
