Union Grove Campground

Central Iowa has a lot to offer when it comes to fun and relaxing vacation destinations, and you’ll never need to worry about crowds or finding parking for your RV rental during your visit. A great camping option when you rent a camper near Marshalltown is the Union Grove Campground inside Union Grove State Park.

Sites at Union Grove Campground offer either full hookups and no hookups, depending on your preferred level of creature comforts. The campground also has restrooms, hot showers, and a dump station if you need it. Most campers come to enjoy the 110-acre Union Grove Lake; it’s an excellent location for swimming, fishing, paddling, or powerboating (there’s a boat ramp for easy access). Don’t have your own boat? Rentals are available in Waterloo, about an hour's drive away.

The campground is also a favorite among nature lovers for the three miles of trails leaving from the sites and going all the way around Union Grove Lake. The trails are a fantastic bird watching location, and there’s a good chance you’ll see some wild turkeys and deer too.

Union Grove Campground is located about an hour's drive from both Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, the two largest cities in Iowa. Book an RV in Tama County, and you can see all of the major attractions in central Iowa as the RV campground sits at the center of it all and everything is just a short drive away.
