Campsites

Leading up to the Memorial Day weekend, with its beautiful weather forecast, reservable campsites are nearly gone.

Less than 10 percent of campsites on the reservation system are left, and all but a handful are standard non-electric or tent-only sites. Waubonsie State Park, in far southwest Iowa, has 19 equestrian sites currently open for reservations.

Reservations can be made at iowastateparks.reserveamerica.com until midnight May 24 or through the call center (1-877-427-2757) until 7 p.m. On Thursday, any remaining reservable campsites will go to walk-in status. State parks maintain a minimum 25 percent of all campsite types as walk-ins; however most will be taken early to ensure a spot for the holiday weekend.
