Delightful small city park at the edge of town (there is s rock works just beyond there trees that you can hear during the day). Covered bridge and memorial tower in the park. Nice walking plus easy walk to town center. Recommend the Iowa Quit Museum on the town square plus numerous small shops. We also drove around to see the other 5 covered bridges of Madison County, good activity when dodging rain drops. River looks good for quiet canoeing or kayaking in better weather, there’s a 6.5 mile river trail.

The city campground is located on the outskirts of Winterset. It's shaped like a long oval, on the inside of the oval are all the camper/motorhome sites. Those are packed pretty tight. The most spacious site was on the far end across from the tent area. At the far end of the oval are the tent sites. They have consolidated the tent sites from 12 down to 5. The 5 sites share 3 fire rings. Each site is quite spacious, lots of trees and shade. The grass was pretty long, but that's kind of expected this time of year. Camper sites were full up, but 3 tents sites stayed unoccupied. Call for a reservation, they do charge a $5 for that convenience.
I didn't count the electrical posts in the tent area, but there is shared access to electrical posts. No water. Ample parking for the 5 tent sites, but you cannot drive into your site, you must park in the designated area and carry your stuff in. Restrooms are a short walk for the tent sites. The facilities closest to the tent area, do not have showers.
Site #1 is in the very front. Folks without camping manners will park and walk right through that site without a greeting, stagger to and fro on their visits to see camping friends (my dog loved that at 10:30pm)....site #2 would suffer the same experience.
Camp hosts are incredibly kind and helpful. Great experience. Will absolutely camp here again, but carry my gear a little farther to avoid getting my protective puppy fired up at that time of night.

Very well maintained. Water & electric hookups at each site.
Campsites are very close together & backin. We got a pull through site
The town is beautiful. The Bridges of Madison County & John Wayne birthplace museum.
The courthouse is beautiful, as seen in many small midwestern towns

Peaceful campground in Winterset Iowa. Cute town! John Wayne birthplace and museum was neat to see. This is also where Bridges of Madison County was filmed.
The campground is only 34 sites. Most are FHU and only $20 a night!! Bathhouse is very clean and grounds are maintained. Hosts are super nice! The city park with trails, covered bridge, Clark Tower and playground is next to the campground.
We would definitely stay here again!

Lots to do and see. This is the home of the Bridges of Madison County book and movie. Also John Wayne was born here and there is a nice museum and the house where he was born.
County historical museum up on the western hill has a good collection.
Nice place for bike riding looking at some the original victorian homes.
Cell service was excellent Verizon 22mbps down and AT&T 23.5mbps down
