The best camping near Ambrose A Call State Park guide

Overview

About

Get your booty down to Ambrose A. Call State Park for some rugged Iowa landscape with a pioneer spirit. This outdoor sanctuary has acres of virgin timber (unfortunately, you really don’t find that every day!) and rolling hills with ravines and creeks smack dab in the middle of the farmland. It is an oasis in the monotony of the cornfields. Break from your routine here and hit the forested trails to scope out some wildlife, soak in the babbling creek, find your perfect campsite, and get the breathing space you are looking where Mother Nature always has your back. Don’t miss checking out the original elm log cabin built by the Call brothers when they settled here way back when. If you happen to miss out on summer don’t despair, there is a sweet cross country ski trail here in the winter! Now you definitely have no excuses.

When to go

The best time to visit Ambrose A Call State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the weather is ideal for outdoor activities. Winter can be harsh, with snow and cold temperatures limiting access to some park areas. Plan your visit to coincide with mild weather for the most enjoyable experience.

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
  • Be aware of park hours, typically from 6am to 10:30pm, and plan your activities within this timeframe.
  • While exploring, stay on designated trails to protect the park's natural habitats.
  • Pack out all trash to keep the park clean and preserve its beauty for others.
  • Visit the park's official website or contact the park office for the latest information on closures and alerts.
