Lions Park

I concur with what has been said by the most recent reviewer.
Where can you find a well maintained campground with bathhouse, fresh water, and even 30 amp electric for free?
There is a bit of road noise, but not bad enough to bother me.

As of 9/10/2022, NO DUMP STATION. It is now sealed up and blocked off, permanently or temporary, I do not know.

We were here last fall but they had just closed for the season. This year we’re traveling the other direction. We called the park department and left our number. They called us early the next morning to say they are open. We stayed one night. We used the free electric hookup and used the nice hot showers. I love this park and wish we could make a donation the their Lions club. Would definitely stay again.

This place was a nice place to stay however the park gets A LOT of foot traffic. People were nice but there is a lot of campers/tents and they seem local. One of the electric boxes need work. The city was working on it. The day we were going to leave we tried to use the dump that is located near the dumpster. It started to over flow and it was a huge mess. A local came up to us and said the dump tends to do that a lot. Geeez wish there was a sign. It was not a good situation. Besides the mess we had to drive 10 mins from our route to dump. Grounds are level, we were getting 2-3 bars Verizon. There are water spigots throughout the park.

The park is easy to find, right on a main road in this cute, quaint little town. It's clean and we felt relatively safe here. We stayed on the second site in from the road in our 36' travel trailer. This was the only site available when we arrived between 1 and 2pm on a Sunday. This park has a 2 night / 3 day maximum. Sites with electric are graveled, pretty level and convenient to get in and out of. The electric posts could use some attention. Ours had an unusable 30A socket and there was something stuck in the ground hole on one of the 120 sockets. There are community water spigots and bathrooms on site however both indicated that they were still winterized. The dump station is right next to the Army National Guard building directly behind the park. There's also a nice small covered picnic area and playground in the center of the park and 3 or 4 non electric, grass tent sites on the opposite side of the park. It was pretty quiet for being in town. HyVee grocery store and Tractor Supply are right across the street. Other shops and businesses are also conveniently close by. Would recommend and would stay again if passing through.

We stayed here 1 night to catch up on sleep during a long road trip. It was easy to find and access off of the main road, even late at night. I felt safe and it was quiet. There were 2 others there (in October).

We parked in the spot closest to the street and hooked up to electricity. There’s also a children’s playground and some grass to play on, although we didn’t do so.

Nice clean, tidy camping area, with water and electricity. Still free. Facilities shut during lockdown. Can recommend it to anyone. Quiet, despite highway close by. Grocery and others stores near. In talking to someone at Parks and Rec, he said they were beginning a complete makeover and upgrade, but it's now on hold -- probably for a couple of years. But down the road should check with city to see if still free. Musical museum closed for revamp. Nice little college town. May 2020.
