Van Meter State Park

Van Meter State Park, the amazing historical site of the Missouria Indian village, is bound to become a favorite. You’ll come to know the American Indian Cultural Center, the many boardwalks that wind through the wetlands, the 18-acre Lake Woolridge, and the family-friendly camping spots. Soon, you’ll call this park your second home. Hike the Earthworks Trail that leads to the Old Fort, pay a visit to the Vanmeter family cemetery and memorial garden, and take in the view from the Lewis and Clark Expedition trail that overlooks the Missouri River. Scenic views, a quiet fishing lake, peaceful camping, incredible history…this is the camping experience you’ve been craving! We feel the refreshing vibes already.
