2024 ROAD CONSTRUCTION HWY 136/151 DETOURS

I will be updating this when I know more. BUT….if you’re coming in from the North on Hwy. 136 you will need to ramp onto Hwy. 151 toward Dubuque, as well as everyone coming from both directions on Hwy 151, then please take exit 77 by the BP instead of Exit 75 Hwy. 136, once they start doing roadwork and then EVERYONE will need to take Buchanan Street from Cascade to Riverview Road if coming from Cascade. Those coming from the south on Hwy. 136 will take the graveled RIVERVIEW ROAD to the campgrounds (approx 3/4 mile). They are not allowing parking on Buchanan Street during this construction time because it will become a 2 way from 151 Business during this time. This means more traffic on Riverview Road, please be more cautious with your side x sides, walking and biking as well……thank you!

2024 ROAD CONSTRUCTION HWY 136/20

There will be a closure at the Hwy. 20 / 136 Bridge…I will update this as I know more if it will affect getting onto Hwy. 136.

2024 GREAT JONES COUNTY FAIR SHUTTLE

Hitch a ride on our shuttle for the Jones County Fair concerts on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

Round trip from the campgrounds to the gate costs $15 per person. (way less than a ticket from your friendly sheriff’s department!). We have 3 shuttles each night. You can reserve right online under reservations or call Annette at the office.

There are 14 seats in each shuttle so reserve now because they fill up extremely fast.

Shuttle times each night are 4:45 returning at 11 pm, 5:30 returning at 11:45 and 6:15 returning at 12:30 (leaving you time to catch more music in the beer tent after). Times are approximate according to concert and weather. Payment held with a card, but cash required at check-in to lock in your seat. No cancellations.

Call if you have any questions. 563-543-1258

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Just a note to our loyal customers and friends. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You’ve made what has been the most challenging year for us, a most wonderful camping season. We couldn’t do some things that we normally get to do, such as group events indoors, but you really came out and enjoyed the outdoors. Which is why we are here! Thank you for supporting us and being patient and understanding all the new little rules we had, to keep everyone healthy and safe and still be able to enjoy your time with family and friends. We couldn’t ask for better people. You supported the small businesses around us too and they are thankful as well. We hope we can get back to a little more normal next season, but are confident in the fact that we can offer our customers a great time in the great outdoors, with family and friends. It truly does not get any better than that. Have a wonderful winter season and we can’t wait to see you next year!

We’ll keep the campfire burning

Camping Season 2020

We are already over half way thru the 2020 season, hard to believe! Its been unusual but better than I expected! We weren’t even sure we’d be able to open for recreational camping but everyone’s cooperation has made it possible.

As we continue on thru this season, we just want to say thank you to all who make it possible for us to survive when Covid took away many events in our area that affect us greatly. You all still came out and enjoyed the great outdoors! I’m thankful that our state remained open and knew this was the best thing for everyone. And I’m thankful for your patience and understanding as we all learn to work together for the greater good with common sense and kindness.

We are still on alert for any signs of covid19. If you have your own facilities, please use them. It means less chance of spread of any virus. Please distance groups when waiting in lines, for check-in, ice cream, getting your tubes, waiting for your ride back to the campgrounds, in our people wagon, showers etc. There’s plenty of room to spread out here.

We will continue to disinfect our bathrooms, tubes, shuttles more often. Lets make this the last year for this! That’d be amazing!

Cancellation policy remains the same as usual with the exception of I may be able to give you a raincheck if there is still availability as long as it is this season yet. You need to call and make arrangements. Sometimes we are full and it is not possible, but we will give it our all to make it happen.

We hope this next half is full of happiness and hope for you all. The best is yet to come!
