River Camp
A quiet oasis near the city
We really enjoyed our stay at Loren's camp space! It felt like we were a lot further away from Iowa City than we were. The area was clean and flat for tent camping. Having a picnic table and fire ring available was very helpful. The river was just a short walk away. About a dozen deer checked us out from the woods as they worked their way past the campsite one evening. Loren was very prompt in correspondence. Would definitely look forward to staying here again!

Camping on the River
This was a very cute site on the river which I loved! However, there was a house nearby that was playing music rather loud. I loved the views but wish it was a bite quieter. It was a Saturday night, so maybe week nights are quieter. Overall, good stay.

Fish Camp
Nice serene camp.
Loren met us on arrival and was very helpful the whole time. The camp spot was nice and quiet and right by the river. We didn’t end up starting up the fire pit, but we will next time. We thought the spot was going to be hard to find but it wasn’t. We were able to turn our 25’ travel trailer around on the road to get situated, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to flip anything much bigger than that. Loren said he was going to trim the branches on the road just ahead to make a turnaround, so you may be able to get larger rigs here in the future. Otherwise I guess you’d just stay at River Camp! Nice spot, and we would recommend it!

River Camp
We loved Loren’s camp! It was beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. We were in town for our son to have surgery at U of I, and we could t have asked for a better place to be during that time. Loren is super kind, you will not be disappointed here!

Perfect spot - lots of solitude
Awesome place! Well maintained and right on the Iowa River. Wildlife everywhere. I even got run over by the riverside by a fawn with spots. No joke! Was weird.

River Camp
We loved our stay at this site! It was easy to find and having full hook-ups was a great treat. Loren greeted us upon arrival and made sure we were all set. The river is just a short walk away with a nice mowed trail - my husband had a great time fishing! We walked through some nearby trails in the woods, which was beautiful. The site is private and we didn’t see anyone while we were there - exactly what we wanted for a quick weekend getaway. Thank you Loren!

River Camp
Beautiful person and property!!!
Absolutely beautiful and clean campsite. The trail out to the river is amazing. Perfect place to put in to float or kayak down to hills access or Stumptown. Loren was super friendly, accommodating and helpful with any questi9ns we had and even helped me hook up the camper when I was heading out!

River Camp
Ideal spot for the Iowa city area! We had a great time. Loren was very friendly but gave us privacy for most of the weekend. Our dogs were able to be off leash. Although the driveway was fairly long to back a trailer into, it was a straight shot and not difficult. Hookups worked great. Wish we had found this place sooner!

River Camp
Perfect little campsite
We had a great stay at Loren's site. Nice fire pit and water access, and just a short walk down to a lovely river. About a 5 mile bike ride into Iowa City!

River Camp
Great option in Iowa City
Great option for visiting Iowa City. It's remote enough to be quite and peaceful but close enough to town. The pad was well kept and level. All of the utilities were in good working order and reliable. I'd definitely stay here again.

River Camp
Secluded spot close to fairgrounds
River Camp was the perfect place for us! It was very close to the Johnson County Fairgrounds, where we had an event to attend. It was very easy to hop on a bike route and explore Iowa City. The camp is as it is called, right on the river. We did not have time to kayak this time, but we will be back to do so. You could end your kayak trip right at your camp site. We really appreciated the off leash for our dog. It was a very private spot with water, sewer and electric hook ups. Nice big fire pit and open space for kids to play. Lots of trails to explore the forest.

River Camp
Well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive :)
Loren was wonderful. He greeted us upon arrival. His wife made a beautiful bouquet of hand picked flowers for the picnic table..so kind:) We fished 1 minute from the camp site, cooked lots of food, had lots of laughs & fun in a quiet peaceful setting, we hiked on the grounds with all our kids ranging from 4 months to 25 years old. Well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive. We will definitely be back.
