Introduction
Located in the middle of the Iowa Great Lakes area, Emerson Bay State Recreation Area is the perfect RV camping retreat for hot summer days. You’ll have direct access to scenic West Lake Okoboji, where you can cruise on a sailboat, kayak, canoe, and water ski. You’ll also find some of the best fishing in the Midwest. The waters are teeming with crappie, walleye, perch, catfish, and bullhead.
Once you’re off the lake, you’ll find a number of trails that take you through the wildflower-packed fields surrounding the water. You’ll also be able to spot some of Iowa’s most famous birds, including the American goldfinch. The park connects to the Iowa Great Lakes Bike Trail, giving you hundreds of miles of ground to cover by bike. You can also hike up to the Emerson Bay Lighthouse for some of the best views of the lake.
The campground located in the park has over 80 sites for your RV, all of which have electrical hookups. You’ll also be right on the shore of West Lake Okoboji, which has some of the clearest waters of any lake in the state.
