Morgan Creek County Park

Nice sites, spaced out nicely, mostly quiet, ranger patrols regularly. Kids love riding their bikes around the the loop. Love the walking trails at the arboretum and the prairie. The kids also love playing in the creek just down from the bridge in the campground. Park a short walk away with a playground, thought the playground could use some updating, IMO. Clean bathrooms, never used the showers so can’t comment on those. Friendly camp hosts.

We chose this park for its proximity to Cedar Rapids -it was only 15 min or so to downtown!

The campground was fine but not memorable. Sites were a little close but level and very well maintained. There were a few "residents" that seemed to be more permanent than what is stated as allowable. Other visitors seemed to be local.

The best thing about this campground is the park itself. It has miles of trails that wind thru prairie, forest and an beautiful arboretum and butterfly garden. There were also playgrounds and picnic areas. We enjoyed running in the prairie and the dogs did too!

There's something for everyone here!

This is a beautiful campground located in a nice county park that includes an arboretum that has a paved walking trail through it. The access to the campground was not direct, but fairly easy from the highway. The roads to the campground and in the campground were find and access to most of the spots is easy. The check in process is self serve, take an envelope, select your spot, fill out the envelope and put it and your fee in the slot. The spots are gravel and mostly level with nice grassy areas with a picnic table and a firepit. Hookups are electric and water, no sewer, with a dump station on the way out that was an easy pull through. There are lots of trees, although they don't provide much privacy, except towards the back where some of the smaller spots are. We had no difficulty finding a spot big enough for us, although there were some that we wouldn't fit in. We had no problem with our satellite, but it might be difficult towards the back.

I tend to like state parks with lots of privacy and tree cover, but this campground (the campground, not just the park) is so beautiful I wanted to stay much longer than the one night we had planned. I would recommend this campground for anyone wanting a quiet place to spend a few days
