Camp in one of several campsites near the park’s lake, featuring both electric and non-electric sites, a modern restroom and shower building. Several campsites sit on the water’s edge and provide beautiful views of Rock Creek Lake. One-fourth of the campsites are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and advanced campsite reservations through the online reservation system for Rock Creek State Park

Really nice campground with truly terrible showers. Handles were just valves on raw copper pipes and produced so little water to force you to hug the wall to get wet. Price or stay was reasonable at least.
Spot 28 is FABULOUS. The water is so close. The spots are very spacious and the fire pits have the nice cooking grates and levels. Everyone was so nice. The shower house and bathrooms are not fancy but well maintained. The playground was VERY nice and clean.The boat rentals are very reasonably priced too. The whole park is just beautiful. Peaceful place and not rowdy at all. So excited to come back again next year.
One of my favorite places to camp. Love the scenery, the lake, and being in nature. The camp sites are always clean, well spaced, water is near by, and the shower facilities are clean as well.
Beautiful camp spot on a lake by Grinnell... a little hidden gem with a bike path close by. The little convenience store close by is an added bonus with everything from fishing supplies, food & drinks to gift items. Will definitely camp here again!
