Lewis and Clark Campground

Lewis and Clark State Park is a relatively small state park surrounded by the 250-acre Blue Lake. The park is named for Meriwether Lewis and Captain William Clark who were commissioned in 1804 to head the expansion expedition into the northwestern United States. The frontiersmen spent ample time at the site of today’s park. When you visit, you can see a full-size reproduction of the keelboat they used. Although the park is relatively small and covers only 176 acres, there’s still plenty to see and do. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife on miles of nature trails. Take to Blue Lake for swimming, fishing, and boating, or enjoy a picnic along the shores. And if you decide to stay for a while, you can also camp at Lewis and Clark Campground.

The campground at Lewis and Clark State Park has more than 100 campsites featuring both electric-only and full hookup sites. Most of the sites are situated along the shores of Blue Lake. The back-in sites can accommodate RV rentals up to 65 feet long. There are also several pull-through sites that can fit RVs up to 90 feet long. Amenities at this Onawa campground include modern restrooms, hot showers, and a dump station. Forgot something at home? The camp store sells firewood and other camping essentials. A playground is located within the campground loop as well.
