Relax in the comforts of Rock Valley campgrounds nestled in rural Northwest Iowa. Waterfront RV sites, rental cabins near coffee shops, and tent camping within the city of Rock Valley all provide comfortable accommodations from spring through fall. Amenities often include concrete pads, access to central showers, and full hookups for water, electricity, and sewer. For a bit more nature, head south out of Sioux County to urban wildlife sanctuary Stone State Park.

Reserve a heated and air-conditioned cabin inside the park, or stay in a first-come, first-served campsite with access to clean restrooms and showers for a more immersive experience. Year-round accommodations are available at Big Sioux State Recreation Area on the banks of Big Sioux River. After a day of canoeing, biking, and archery on a wilderness range, find a modern campsite with amenities that include electric hookups and vault toilets.

Olson Campground WORTHINGTON

19. Olson Campground Worthington

43mi from Rock Valley · 1 site · Worthington, MN
Olson Park and Campground stands out as a unique destination due to its rich history and generous land donation by industrialist E.O. Olson and his wife, Bella H. Olson. In April 1945, they contributed 55.1 acres to the city, establishing a beautiful park that was officially named Olson Park in January 1950. This commitment to community and nature has made the park a cherished local landmark. In October 1956, an additional 10 acres were acquired along County Road #59 for $3,000 from Genevieve E. Peters, intended for future park development or potential well site purposes. The park continued to expand with two more purchases totaling 2.498 acres from Agnes and Alvina Haack in 1956 and 1966, with a portion designated for Well Site #20. These acquisitions have seamlessly integrated into Olson Park, enhancing its natural beauty and recreational offerings. Visitors to Olson Park can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, picnicking, and exploring nearby natural features. The park's serene environment provides a perfect escape for families and nature enthusiasts alike, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and adventure. With its historical significance and commitment to preserving green space, Olson Park and Campground remains a beloved destination

The location was right off the highway but once you get to your spot the road noise was very minimal. Host was very accommodating for a very last minute booking (less than 2 hours warning with a 9pm arrival). Host was out of town but very responsive to messages and helped how she could, we are pretty low maintenance though. It was very windy in this area but I think if you only had a tent you could find some way to break the wind easily. There were other guests on the property but no problems arose and everyone kept to themselves. Bathroom/shower access was a huge plus. Also super friendly kitty cats on property. The parking was ample, the fire pit was awesome and this met all of our needs for backpacker car camping 👍🏽 Affordable ✅ Safe ✅ Accommodating ✅

We easily located Brian's spot and enjoyed exploring the cute town of Luverne as well as Beaver Creek (The Cidery!) as well as Sioux Falls. For larger rigs I would recommend spots 1 or 2. We ended up in spot 4 and we fit in it just fine, but we're not the best at backing up and it took us several tries due to the angle. (That's on us, not Brian!)

If you’re looking for a nice spot to get some sleep in South East South Dakota, this is it. I was parked behind the barn. Lots of privacy. Also a fair amount of bugs but it was summer and next to a corn field so no surprise. Bring earplugs because the cows on the other side of the field could get noisy. And the occasional train might make its presence known. Again, earplugs took care of everything and I got a great night’s sleep. I’d stay here again. Thanks Kelley!

What a gem! Noreen was incredibly welcoming and upon arrival showed us around the gorgeous property. There was everything from a shower to a pergola to relaxing swings and plenty of peaceful areas with the backdrop of a cornfield privacy ‘hedge’. She offers various accommodations but we never even saw the other guests despite being on the same piece of property. The ranch can also be used as a wedding venue and that must be spectacular as well!
