- Once summer hits, Iowa is an amazing place to get away from daily life and escape with a camping getaway.
- Some of summer’s best memories are telling stories and roasting marshmallows around a campfire.
- Fortunately, the state of Iowa offers more than simply fields of corn and has great campgrounds in abundance, whether people prefer to camp in a good old tent, a trailer or RV, or a cozy cabin.
- Many of these campgrounds provide other activities as well, such as paddling, horseback riding, biking, fishing, and hiking.
