The Lewis and Clark campground is a great place to spend a leisurely vacation in the outdoors. The campground features both electric and full hook-up sites (water and sewer) which lie along the lakeshore. Modern restrooms and showers are available, as is a trailer dump station.
On I-29 take the 112th exit for Onawa, Iowa and turn west on Highway 175. Approximately 3 miles west, turn right on Park Loop and you will see signage for Lewis and Clark State Park.
Great beach for the kids to play and swim! We loved the boats and museum. Looks like a nice campground, too. It is a small state park, and it was very pretty! Very close to Onawa, too. An outdoor shower to rinse off the sand would make this a 5 star in my opinion.
This park is big and beautiful...plenty of camping, picnic tables and wildlife.
Been camping here for years and we enjoy the scenery at this camp grounds. The fishing was poor at the lake. Unsure how the fish population is after they dredged it last year. The flowers near the shower house seem like they could use a good watering, years past they were huge and beautiful. The site we chose which was on the south side of the grounds had a dumpster and it was parked right next to the road which did present some challenges as we backed our camper up to the site. The dumpster was emptied before the weekend rush was placed back in the exact spot even though there is gravel and room for it to go over several feet. For our trip this time I gave it just 4 stars since it seems to be run a bit differently than it had with the previous camp hosts.
Had never been here before. Met a friend from out of town to eat. It was a holiday and just about everything was closed. They were busy so we didn’t want to take up a table just for chatting and we were looking for a place to sit and catch up. Found this place nearby. It was cold out and the place was completely empty aside from one camper. The office didn’t even look manned, so the camper may have been there without active hookups. Really gave us a good chance to look around though. When RV’s, tents and boats are all over, your viewable horizon is limited by it all. On this visit, we had unobstructed views in all directions, which gave us a good appreciation of what this place had to offer. It’s pretty good sized, lots of places to camp, and a lot of water front ground. I had no idea the place even existed, but it would be a location for people to take a serious look at when looking for a bit of a get away.
Wonderful place, relatively spacious RV parking, tent camping, and a visitors center!
Also found a gnome home.
Visitor Center has Lewis & Clark boats, displays.
