Let's start with a few questions to narrow down your options.


One of the best ways to explore eastern central Iowa is to search for an RV in Johnson County, which encompasses Iowa City, just south of Cedar Rapids. In this county is Lake Macbride State Park, is a top tier camping location when you are renting an RV to check out the area. This state park was opened to the public in June of 1937 after the Iowa City Chamber of Commerce was able to raise funds to create it.
Construction on the park began in the 1930s after Thomas Macbride, for whom the park is named, spoke to members of the Iowa Academy of Science on the importance to establish a statewide system of parks. After this, the Civilian Conservation Corps was recruited to build the park, using local stone to build shelters and beach buildings. Later on, in 1955, Lake Macbride became one of the largest artificial lakes in Iowa after it was enlarged to include more water from the Iowa River. The park often draws visitors from nearby cities, including Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Mount Vernon, and more.
