Let's start with a few questions to narrow down your options.
Located in south-central Iowa, Stephens State Forest is a fascinating ecosystem renowned for the rich recreational opportunities it provides to Chariton campers and locals alike. Just under a half-hour drive away from scenic Osceola and roughly 35 minutes from the history-filled town of Corydon, the forest is surrounded by exciting places to visit. Camp out in the forest for a fun-filled week of hiking, hunting, horseback riding, fishing, backpacking, and so much more.
Once a base of operations for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Stephens State Forest land was transformed from the heavily eroded landscape it once was into the lush and wonderful forest it is today. Another interesting facet of the forest is the Native American roots hidden inside four identified archeological sites. Home to a myriad of Native American artifacts, these sites are unmarked within the forest to prevent vandalism.
As you explore this expansive forest comprising over seven units and more than 15,500 acres, expect to see narrow, flat ridges divided by entrenched drainages while walking the woodland streets. Whether it's the history that fascinates you or the miles of forest to explore, book an RV in Lucas County today to experience all that Stephens State Forest has to offer!
