Arrowhead Park Campground

When you're camping at Arrowhead Park Campground, one of the nearest cities is Council Bluffs, a 30-minute drive to the south. The city played a major role in the expansion to the west due to the steamboat ferry landing used to carry people, wagons, and cattle across the Missouri River. The city also provided a significant outfitting location for the Emigrant Trail and the Pike's Peak gold rush. Abraham Lincoln chose Council Bluffs to be the official starting point of the transcontinental railroad. Railroad buffs who book an RV in Neola can spend a day or maybe two visiting the Union Pacific Railroad Museum. There are railroad cars from the 1950s to explore, thousands of artifacts to see, and over 300 pieces of the railroad's fine silver and specially made china to enjoy. While you are there, be sure to spend some time in the Abraham Lincoln Collection exhibit, where you can see the furniture that was part of his rail car, tons of photographs, busts, lithographs, and more. Council Bluffs is also home to a few casinos where you can park your campervan rental and spend an evening gambling or enjoy a fantastic meal at one of the many restaurants. When you've had a good meal and enjoyed a little time on the casino floor, be sure you catch one of the shows-you won't regret it. Even if farm tractors and equipment don't play a primary role in your everyday life, you can't go RV camping at Arrowhead Park Campground without a trip to Farmall-Land USA in nearby Avoca, IA. This is a museum inside of a 26,500-square-foot pole barn filled with immaculate examples of restored Farmall and Case tractors. It also houses a number of pedal tractors, farm equipment, antique tools, and more. You could spend an entire day here and still not see everything. Come to Arrowhead Park Campground for the peace and quiet or as a central location from which to tour the area with your family. Your time exploring starts with an RV rental in Neola, IA.
