Campground Improvement Project Completed
Thanks to support from Regina Roth, John Gleeson, Jolly Time Popcorn, L & L Builders and numerous community
supporters, our Campground Improvement Project has been totally funded.
The project includes construction of two log cabins, a separate youth campground and renovation of the original campground. Construction
of the cabins and the youth campground have been completed. $137,000 from the Iowa Values Fund spearheaded the local
match fundraising campaign.
No financial contributions went to administration, consultants or project design. 100% of the money donated
to our campground improvement project went to construction. Call Greg Hoversten, Steering Committee Chairman at 251-0542
for more information.
Renovation of the existing campground is completed. The old shower building was demolished and a new
facility has been constructed. Upgrading of improvements as well as landscaping is to be completed this Spring (2008).
Cabin and shelter reservations can be made at https://eservices.iowa.gov/iowaparks/ .
