Best Hipcamps in Iowa
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2026.
We live in the country on a working grain farm (corn and soybeans). It can get noisy and dusty during harvest and grain hauling operations. You could wake up to deer eating grain around the bins. In the evenings, you can look down to the East by tree line for deer and turkey. We can handle any size RV. Please pick up after your dogs. We have guest children that play in yard. All spots are level. All electric sites are 30/50 and are for year-round use. We have 9 sites with electric and city water. 3 sites are gravel. 4 sites are grass. 2 are concrete. We also have a large primitive camping area west of the grain bins in open yard (no electric or water). Rv parking is available on grass when ground is hard or on the concrete and gravel driveway when soft. We have one picnic table for campers’ use. There is a trail we keep mowed North East of the hay barn alongside the crops, which is great for walking/dog run. Black and Gray water may not be dumped. Whistling Donkey in Woodward has a dump station; you can call them and ask if you can use it. You can be as private or engaged with us as you feel. Dumpster is by machine shed. There are 30+ local TV channels (no cable available). Open southern skies for satellite use. The lights automatically turn off at 10 PM. Fire pit is available for your use. Firewood is available East of the barn. Fire Pit light dims down to 15% after 10 PM. Yard lights also come on for one minute at Noon every day. Stargazing really pops at night on a clear night. You are welcome to turn lights back on and continue outdoor activities and use fire pit as long as you do not disturb other campers. Mouse and weather vane lights stay on all night for your convenience. Please do not put trash in fire pit. We would prefer if campers arrive before dark; we like to settle down for the evening. WIFI is 250 Mbps depending on number of users. WIFI is Farm.

Camping at Burkhart Farm is a serene experience, with most visitors appreciating the quiet and peaceful surroundings. The hosts, Mark and Donna, are frequently praised for their warm hospitality and willingness to share stories about their fifth-generation farm. With easy access to both nature trails like the High Trestle Trail and nearby town amenities, it strikes a perfect balance for those looking to explore or simply relax. The presence of electricity and water hookups, along with starry night skies, adds to the convenience and charm of staying here.

We have loved staying at the Burkhart farm, a few different times! This time we had a different view and area and it was honestly sooo wonderful! So private. We love staying here when we’re wanting to be closer to town. And love the local restaurant and ice cream shop down the road. We’ve even had fun exploring the high trestle trail. Being a skip to Boone, made it convenient for laundry and work things. :) And as always the mark and Donna were just wonderful! Definitely will be back!

The host greeted me upon arrival as stated in the welcome message. I was directed to a location beside a grain bin with a view of a bean field. It was quiet and serene, peaceful and it was just what I needed. There is power water and trash bin on site. Took my dog for a walk along the county road, we only can across one car and it was the host. I will definitely stay here again should we be passing this way.

Beautiful and quiet property and Hosts were more than accommodating to our needs. They made sure we had proper directions, and were there to greet us before we pulled up. Gave us a tour of the property so we could to pick the best spot. Firewood, water/electric hook up were an extra added bonus. Definitely a Hidden Gem.

Our stay here was delightful and peaceful. Mark and his wife were incredibly kind and we were fortunate to spend some time with them by the campfire and the free wood. The farm has been in the family for over 150 years – amazing! The site was very quiet, level and had both electrical and water hookups. We highly recommend this site.

We were close to Big Creek lake for swimming and Ledges State Park for hiking and swimming! They greeted us when we arrived and communication was perfect, they responded very quickly! We had a wonderful family camping trip, we stayed for 2 overnights then stayed an additional 2 nights!

The hosts were kind and quick to give us a tour of the hookups before we got to choose what suited us. There is a community fire pit and we made great friends the two days we were there. When the lights go out at 10PM you have a fabulous view of the stars above. Would visit again.

We had an incredible stay at Mark and Donna’s Hipcamp property in Woodward, Iowa. From the start, their kindness and hospitality stood out — and their friendly farm cat, Jack, made the experience even more memorable. This is a working farm, but Mark and Donna are extremely considerate and made sure everything about our stay was comfortable and relaxed. The scenery is unbeatable. Expansive views, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and a true sense of peace all around. We had a few windy nights, but it added to the charm of the open landscape. The location is also ideal — just 25 minutes from Grimes, with gas stations and stores nearby, and downtown Woodward offers a great local sports bar for a casual night out. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat with beautiful views and genuinely kind hosts, this is the place. We’re grateful for the experience and will absolutely return.

Perfect little spot surrounded by farm land. We were the only ones there. The host was very communicative and friendly. They had 30 amp hopk up which was nice because the low temp was 32 degrees and I was able to use my little plug in heater to keep us warm during the night. I would stay here again!
