Lake Macbride Campground

Lake Macbride State Park is Iowa’s largest state park. In Solon, the park covers more than 2,150 acres. Enjoy a variety of recreational activities when you visit with your camper rental. Take a stroll on the five-mile trail on the north side of Lake Macbride, or explore seven more miles of trails that meander through oak and hickory forests and along prairies. On a hot day, cool off on the lake’s beach or sail off into the 812-acre lake. Pontoons, motorboats, paddleboats, canoes, and kayaks are welcome. If you’re into fishing, popular catches include channel catfish, muskie, walleye, and Kentucky spotted bass. And if you need more than a day to explore the park, you can always camp at Lake Macbride Campground.

Lake Macbride State Park has two campgrounds. The modern campground is located in the northern part of the park and has electric and full hookup sites. There are also restrooms, hot showers, and a dump station. The rustic campground in the southern park unit has non-electric sites and non-flush toilets. Both the modern and rustic campgrounds have playgrounds nearby.
