Getting Outdoors
Central Iowa isn’t often raved about for its natural features, but it would be a mistake to assume this part of the state didn’t have its natural gems. RV camping at a state park in any state is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, and Iowa is no different. At Lake Macbride State Park, hiking is a major activity that many guests enjoy, and because of the five-mile crushed limestone trail that runs along the north side of the park, enjoying hiking is easy to do. This trail is a multi-use trail, is well maintained, and is popular with walkers, hikers, and bikers alike. Many sections of the trail run through the forest, while other parts take you right along the shores of the lake.
Camping at Lake Macbride State Park
Lake Macbride State Park is home to over 100 different campsites, each and every one of which is usable by those camping with an RV. These campsites are split up between two different campgrounds, the more modern of the two being the northern unit. This modern campground has full electrical hookups for each site, in addition to water and sewer, picnic tables, fire rings, and even lantern hooks. There are hot showers and flushing toilets centrally located, and even a trailer dump station should you need it.
Exploring the Area
When you camp in an RV near Iowa City, it would be foolish not to explore this major Iowan hub.

The museum is located in the former government center, which is an iconic building that has a beautiful gold dome atop it.

We enjoyed our first time Outdoorsy and rv camping experience. Very cool build out of the van for camping. As tent campers we appreciated the convenience of having a refrigerator, stove and sink (microwave wasn’t included). Communication and pickup were made easy. Thank you!
