RV camping near Albany

·

Albany’s RV camping scene gives you plenty to work with—over 340 sites set up for rigs of all sizes, from pull-through pads to shaded creekside nooks. Average rates hover around $38 a night, but you’ll spot options dipping as low as $15 if you’re quick. Most sites offer water and electricity hookups, and you can count on campfires being allowed, so bring the marshmallows. The terrain is a patchwork of rolling farmland, riverside bends, and wooded edges—ideal for wildlife-watching or stretching your legs on a hike. Horseback riding trails crisscross the area too. Locals swear by Wit’s End (32 reviews) for its quiet mornings, while Wathena Riverfront Campground (5 reviews) sits right on the river if you want water views, and Honey Grove Campground (4 reviews) is a favorite for its easy access to trails. If you’re rolling in with your RV, Albany’s mix of practical hookups and access to real Midwestern countryside makes it a straightforward pick.

There is a lot of nut trees and chickens! I inherited this land from my uncles who spent their whole life’s purpose to live and maintain the land. It has given me such peace and a great escape that I think everyone deserves to touch a piece of it to help you in your soul searching or unplugging from life to clear your mind to tackle the world! I’ve grown up seeing the land change, watching how nature can change streams and hills and love seeing how years and years of leaving it alone can create such a beautiful canvas all on its own. One of my uncles favorite things to do was to look for arrowheads and if you are familiar with ancient Indian practices, you can find many characteristics in these woods.

American Sportsman Base Camp

We’re new to all this, so here’s the scoop. Our campsite sits on one of our family farms at the top of a hill. The closest neighbor is about 3/4 mile away, and the nearest town with a grocery store is roughly 15 miles out. The camper and tent sites are set where the old homestead house once stood. There’s no water or power, but we have one camper set up with a generator available if needed. We provide a water tank, and there’s also an old well if you’d like well water. You’ll be overlooking 500 acres of river bottom land, with a creek running through it where arrowheads have been found, plus river access for fishing or a bit of kayaking. We’ve got a couple of 4-wheelers you can rent to get to the river, or we can take you down ourselves. Kayaks are also available, and we can even take you upriver so you can float the 8 miles back down to our spot.
