The best camping near Eagle Grove with hiking

·

Hiking near Eagle Grove means access to trails that cut through rolling fields, riverbanks, and quiet woods—no crowds, just open space. Hipcamp lists over 750 campsites in the area with hiking access, so you can pitch your tent close to the action. Expect nightly rates averaging $32, with some spots as low as $15. Showers, toilets, and legal campfires are common, so you won’t have to rough it unless you want to. Watch for deer at sunrise or take a dip in the river after a long hike. For a spot right on the water, check out Secluded riverside ranch (31 reviews). Prefer something quirky? Try Sleep in an Iowa Barn @ TLC (30 reviews) for a roof over your head and easy trail access. Local advice: bring bug spray and a lightweight hammock—shade and solitude are easy to find here.

Awesome private campsite, right next to the river! Clear line of communication with Tyler the whole time. Next time I'll bring a wagon to haul my gear out there, but definitely worth it! My dog loved all the space to run and all the swimming he got to do!

Weekend Trip to Secluded riverside ranch
Tyler and Sarah were so nice, meeting us the moment we arrived. We were given the option of a few sites and essentially, anywhere really. The space we set up camp at was like a shire tucked away not far from the main yard and bathroom. But somehow felt totally secluded. Our music didn't even cut through the trees. The dogs got to run their butts off, we soaked up the gurgling creek and hooting owls. We will definitely be back. My personal highlight- The cows. Next time I need to meet and pet the pig!

This was a great place to stay. Tyler greeted us upon arrival and showed us around pointing out several options for setting up our tent. We were disappointed that it rained the next day so we had to leave without the chance to explore the trail and meet the animals. We’ll have to go there again.

Tyler was an excellent host. He greeted us upon arrival, gave us the layout of the land. The campsite by the river front was amazing. It’s about 97% shaded with a fire pit right by the river. It’s a great place to unwind and recharge. He even makes his own maple syrup from trees on his land, which is fantastic. And, if you happen to be in the mood to feed some of his animals he’s s rescued, you can purchase some food to give to his critters. We will definitely be going back out to unwind at the riverfront sight again.

Great lil find! The house is secluded so no busy roads or highway lights. Tyler was friendly and accommodating with my late arrival. The animals were the sweetest and the cows just stared at me haha! They've got a cat who followed me on my morning walk - super cute! Would recommend to anyone!

Tyler was a great host, very friendly and helpful. The site by the river was everything we wanted and hoped for. With only the sounds of nature around, we had total privacy. Tyler had a nice trail mowed through the tall grass which was a great relaxing walk. Would highly recommend this spot and will probably be back. Plus he has really cool cows :)
