With a bright blue lake, lush greenery, and loads of wildlife, it’s no wonder why Viking Lake State Park is one of southwest Iowa’s most popular campgrounds.

Set up camp at one of the many shaded and sizeable campsites and get ready for some serious outdoor adventurin’. Explore down the Bur Oak Trail and get a feel for Viking Lake’s gorgeous flora, or watch the hours go by swimming or fishing at the 137-acre lake. As far as state parks go, Viking Lake is particularly undeveloped, making this one heck of way to get your fill of camping goodness.

Arrowhead Lodge of SW. Iowa.

1 site ¡ Lodging1 acre ¡ Council Bluffs, IA
This custom designed glamping lodge was a dream of mine for a long time. I wanted a place to go to unwind and be with one with nature. But! wanted it close to town so I do not have to travel far and still be close to the city attractions. The lodge backs up to a large hill--called the Loess Hills. Many deer, raccoon, possum and turkey call it home and so does a few pets of mine to include a mini horse and goat. They just love being adorned by new people. I think you will find this a perfect place for a good nights sleep. Learn more about this land: --Enjoy the deer setting amongst the tree's and nature. Hiking trails close by. Come enjoy a relaxing experience close to the city, the zoo and other attractions.  MOST dogs are welcomed -- BUT need to be approved first! before booking. ADDITIONAL FEE REQUIRED>  Walking trails close by!  and restaurants. Verify with host before booking please. The bathroom/shower is located across the yard in the lower level of the main house.  Thank you!

Two Old Hoes on Hippie Hill

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents30 acres ¡ Stanton, IA
Learn more about this land: You can camp, wander, head down the road to Viking Lake. Easy, relaxing and not too many rules. I don't do trash, unattended firepits or really loud gatherings past dusk. I love to camp but, this is our oasis. We also have outdoor dogs that help keep the coyotes and wildlife at bay. The means that they may bark at night.
