At Chimney Rock Campground, we aim to help friends and families create lasting memories. Chimney Rock offers diverse experiences, from enjoying your RV or one of our cabins to the serenity of tent camping along the river or in the woods. We offer kayak, canoe, and tube rentals for those seeking adventure to explore the beautiful Upper Iowa River. Rated second most beautiful river in the United States. We strive to cultivate a deep connection with nature and a strong sense of community. Through engaging activities and personalized interactions with our dedicated staff, we're committed to understanding and meeting each of our guests' unique needs. Our goal is to make Chimney Rock Campground a place where you'll want to return year after year.This site is situated at the edge of an open meadow across from the beautiful bluffs of the Upper Iowa River. It is a flat grassy space with a tree nearby. Guests have a short walk to our beach for swimming and fishing. Nature abounds at our campground. You may see eagles, geese, cranes, turtles, deer, frogs, and more. You may even get lucky and see baby goats.

Nice size campground. Lots of birds and a bared owl hoot in the evening. River is wide and slow movement in the nice backdrop of rock formation.
