Maquoketa Caves Campground

Hardwood trees and high bluffs surround you when you take your RV rental to Maquoketa Caves Campground inside the state park of the same name. While the terrain is rugged, motorhome camping here is relatively comfortable as you'll have access to modern restrooms, showers, and a dump station. Water hydrants are also available. Most electric sites are pet-friendly and let you plug into 50 amp service. Maximum site length is 68 feet, with one electric site offering wheelchair access.

A family-friendly campground in east-central Iowa, Maquoketa Caves Campground has a children's play structure near the picnic area. In the summer, the interpretive center is open, allowing for a better understanding of the geology of the caves and its early inhabitants. Several trails meander through the park, so those looking for an exhilarating hike have several to follow.

With Dubuque less than 40-minutes’ drive from town, you can hop in your Maquoketa camper rental and trace the historical origins of the Hawkeye State, jump aboard an authentic paddle wheeler for a cruise on the Mississippi River, and meet river critters at the Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.
