The best camping near Pacific Junction with hiking

·

Pacific Junction pulls in hikers with over 530 Hipcamp options, each putting you close to well-worn trails and rugged creek beds. You’ll find everything from bare-bones clearings to sites with showers and fire rings, and most allow pets. Average rates hover around $36 a night, but you can snag a spot for as low as $20. Top picks? Arrowhead Lodge of SW. Iowa (37 reviews) sits near old-growth woods, while Two Old Hoes on Hippie Hill (25 reviews) offers open skies and easy trail access. Looking for something a little offbeat? City Explorers' Stampede (4 reviews) straddles the line between wild and urban. After hiking, cool off with a swim, cast a line for fish, or spot deer at dusk. Most sites keep things practical—think hot showers, spots for a campfire, and no fuss about bringing your dog.

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. AC and Heat are in the Lodge 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 schwazer and two goats. 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.

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.
