Walnut Woods State Park

We always have a good time when we camp here, the only thing missing is showers. But we live close and if we are staying for more than a weekend we can go home to shower, otherwise we just sponge bathe. They have just repaved the access road into the park so it is nice and smooth. they are usually right on top of cleaning the restrooms, and park is always kept up very nice. We camp in an older TT and we get cell phone coverage very well here. It's always a nice quiet place to camp, and meet new friends.

There website showed back in sites or at least 3 that were listed between 61-71 feet long, so we went in to check it out (we tow with an HDT and our overall length is 61'. We couldn't even make the turn into the campground so forunately were able to head further down to the boat ramp parking and get turned around on a loop. Shoul've checked it out on Google Maps first, but we were traveling and you know how that goes...

One more thing of importance, when you turn on Walnut Woods Drive the trees are not trimmed very good, In more than one spot tree limbs were scraping the roof pretty good. My solar panels probably saved the EDPM from damage! (Come on Iowa!)

*Definitely NOT big rig friendly! Looks like a great spot if you can get in....

As far as star rating I had to give it one and it reflects only our experience of not being able to get in! It looks like a beautiful spot to camp!

Upon arrival a couple of others helped guide me in. The park isn’t huge. It’s a nice cozy park. Very nice to have concrete slabs. Off peak time $11 for electric only and $14 for full hookups. Quiet place.

We are traveling musicians in a class B. This campground was very convenient as we had a gig in Wichita the next day. Arrived at sunset, found an open site. Off season, so no water was on in the shower house. Dump station was working, though. Inexpensive for an electric site overnight.

Great campground for passing through. The campground is just a couple of minutes from I35. Sites are concrete, fairly level, and easy to get in and out off. There is not much privacy.

There was 5” of snow on the ground and more coming. The campground had been plowed and half a dozen of the sites also. Water was off but still had electricity.

Water was still off (available in April) and restrooms closed, electricity was on though!

There's a small playground for kids which is great and a short hiking trail

About 20 sites, a few cannot be reserved online and are first come sites. We arrived about 7pm on an August Monday and got the last site. Some electric, some full hook-ups. Dump station on site.

Beautiful little park. Our site was spacious. Some airplane noise.

A serene natural setting that is also close to town. We had one of the few full hookup sites. They also have several electric only sites so be sure to watch for that when booking. There are generous cement pads in each site plenty of room for everything. There is a dump station at one end of the park which looks a little tight but we didn’t have to use it. We got all the Des Moines OTA stations using our TV antenna. The park was generally clean, although it looks like the previous tenants left some trash and a dirty sock in and around the firepit. Really enjoyed walking the road and paths inside the park, lots of pretty trees and birds chirping! As for noise we did here a couple airplanes each day and a train or two but they are very infrequent.
