Pilot Knob Campground is an outdoor gem where you can disconnect from the “nine to five” and reconnect with Mother Nature. This place is surely unique with the scenic Dead Man’s Lake, a rare floating sphagnum bog, and a carnivorous sundew plant (feed me Seymour!). After exploring the park’s intriguing peculiarities, come back to camp, get the fire going, crack open a cold one, and let that hammock swing!

This property encompasses 15 acres featuring a mile of mowed trails that weave through wildflower prairies, along a meandering creek, peaceful woods along the river, and a 501(c)(3) animal rescue providing sanctuary to goats, a llama, a miniature cow, an ostrich and more! The perfect place to unwind, unplug, and connect with nature in a private setting, not on a gravel pad at a treeless, overcrowded campground.

We are located in a very small farming community about 15 miles south of Interstate 90 in North Central Iowa. We have 1 sites available. It is full hookup. Our trees have been trimmed, our road is nice and wide, and there is plenty of room to maneuver. There is a restaurant across the street with great food (Buckets Bar & Grill) and don't miss the tack, leather, and shoe shop downtown that will turn 100 years old in 2025. Gruis recreation and golf course is 10 miles straight south. Winnebago Industries in Forest City Iowa is 30 miles away and they offer free daily tours. Camp Algona POW Museum and nativity is 30 miles away and The Grotto of the Redemption in West Bend Iowa is 50 miles away. ***We are very flexible so if something doesn't fit your plans quite right, please ask about it.
