One night here passing through. Was here several years ago and it is good for one or two nights. We picked site C-3 which was just long enough for fifth wheel and tractor hooked. Good 50 amp service with decent water pressure. Site had cable connection so I tried it and shazam had at least 80 channels of clear dtv. A couple of negs-pick your site carefully. Some sites still broken up concrete and some sites will NOT fit Class A's with toads. All sites pull-through with narrow approach roads. So be aware. To sum up, good value if you are passing through or visiting the casino. - xarmoreddriver

Lakeside Casino RV Park is a good base to visit the area attractions such as Bridges of Madison County and John Wayne's birthplace. The park itself is well laid out with pull through sites on concrete with paved streets. Some of the sites seemed to be having electrical problems and were not available. The casino has an excellent buffet. Upon arrival at the park, find a space then go to the casino to pay. - Jake the plumber

Very convenient to I35. All pull-through FHU sites. Surprisingly not a noisy as I thought it would be. It seems to be mostly self-service, pick your site, drop your payment in the box. - T_E_B

The campground was extremely clean and well maintained. The bathhouse was always stocked and taken care of. The showers were just like home ones. There is swimming, paddle boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding. They do family events as well with potlucks for the whole campground and dances. Our children have a blast here. The view is fantastic and the fellow campers have always been friendly. We stayed in the cabins and they were fabulous. Has all the amenities, very spacious, well kept.The owners go above and beyond to make sure your stay is great. We enjoyed our stay so much the first time that we are now frequent fliers to this campground. It has become our favorite. You can follow them on Facebook to see what's happening. - Spikec6

Stayed here for Labor Day weekend the campground was full, beautiful trees and shade, you will need to clean everything that is left outside as it will be covered in sap from the trees. We had a great weekend overall, but the lots are a little small , we would highly recommend this park. - Candbs

May 2008 - $16.00

Be careful if coming from the North through town, our GPS wanted us to route us under a bridge less than 10 ft high. The RedBuds were in full bloom and beautiful. The fishing is apparently very good here and in the area. The campsites are quite close so it gets a 7 instead of a nine. - stetwood

The roads and sites are very tight and not conducive for big rigs. We moved four different times to get a semi-level site which still maxed out our leveling system. Difficult to get satellite. Park people were nice. - The DnD Adventure

Sep 2013 - $16.00

This is a very nice, clean park which we really enjoyed. The sites are easy to get into and fairly spacious. The park is on a beautiful lake with many activities including hiking trails, fishing, boat rentals and swimming. We stayed here over labor day weekend and although the park was full, it didn't feel crowded. The restrooms were clean and well maintained. Will definitely stay here again when passing through. - User3145

Jun 2011 - $18.00

Plenty of room to hike and bike. Be careful on the upper camping area, the turns on the west side on very tight. Cutbacks have affected Iowa campgrounds as some of the picnic areas are not being mowed, just paths to and around them. - stetwood

We really enjoyed this city campground. The city's Park and Rec director happened to be on site when we pulled in, and he was very pleasant to speak with, and was very helpful. The site we were in was close enough to level that it was no trouble at all to get leveled. The sewer connection at each site is not threaded, which I wish were never the case, though it is not a huge deal. The park was quiet and very peaceful during the night that we stayed. The sites have a nice amount of room between one another, and the grass throughout the park is in great shape. We really enjoyed the Winterset and Madison County areas, and plan to return in the future. - KeystoneTT

Oct 2017 - $20.00

Only $20 total for a Water/Sewer/Electric back-in. The six pull-thru sites do not have sewer. Unfortunately our site was about the most unlevel of any site occupied in the past 5 years. One set of rear duals was off the ground. Probably my fault for not walking the sites before selection since sites are self selected although many appeared to be quite unlevel which could be relatively easily rectified with the City's equipment. Only two of the three major tv networks can be received OTA. A single water spigot is shared between two sites. We always carry a wye hose connector so our neighbor could connect. Not sure what would happen if one was not available, take turns having water. Only the City Campground employees sped through the campground faster then the 10 mph limit while we were there. Using the address 225 s. 10th in our GPS took us in circles. Using coordinates got us to the City Park entrance which is different then the City Park Campground entrance. Using the address 1000 E. Court Avenue got us to the sign pointing toward the campground. Electric and sewer service was good. AT&T had one or two bars. Picnic table and fire pit. Nice grass surrounding the site. - Markk

Sep 2017 - $20.00

We stayed here to see the bridges. This a nice campground, sites fairly level and there are a few pull through sites. We didn't use the restrooms or shower. Would stay here again, we camped in a 5th wheel. - DBT

Apr 2018 - $15.00

We were very excited to try a fairground campground for the first time. $18/night for 30 amp and water only seemed a little high, but we decided to give it a go. The good points are that the site is very level and there was only one other RV (first come-first served u-pick-a-site, pay at the box). Now the bad...there was supposed to be water at the site. Mid-April and the water is still shut off. No mention of that on their website. Thankfully we had some water in the tank. There are also rest rooms, showers and garbage bins on site. All three, LOCKED UP. No mention of that on the website either. The noise from the road, which is very close, was constant. Coming into town there is a sign that reads "Noise Ordinance Enforced". Don't believe it! There must be no muffler shop in this town. Apparently the nearby neighbors leave their dogs out all night as there was almost constant barking - maybe it was strays, but regardless, barking all night. Power tripped our over-voltage breaker. As a bonus we were treated to a bum and his dog sleeping in the picnic shelter right behind our rig, in the morning leaving a big puddle of urine and tossing his trash on the ground next to the garbage bins (because they were locked up). One or two patrol car pass throughs a night would be welcome. We will not be staying here again. - Julie and Ray

We were here during the Indianola Balloon Festival. It is on Hwy 92, a few minutes from Balloon field. It is a first come, first serve, you pick your own spot and pay daily so you can extend your stay as long as you wish. Nice, shaded spots and we managed to keep it cool inside despite the 100 degrees outside. We picked a spot with the playground right outside, our daughter loved it. It is at a fairground though, so you might want to check their schedule as we had a very loud Figure 8 spring car race our last night, but noise doesn't bother us too much. It is also on Hwy 92, which is a little noisy. Internet was however spectacular, which is one of our priorities so we were happy. - Fulltime2kids

Dec 2007 - $10.00

Nothing fancy, but the price is right for water/electric hookups. They have a dump site at the park. The park is located on the west side of town on HWY 92 across the highway from an excellant grocery store, try the meat counter. - Crop Guy

A good place to stay with full hookup sites. The site was fairly level and was able to level up with no difficulty. The hookups were adequate and there is a Verizon tower on the grounds. A great place to camp when the other campgrounds in Winterset are full. There is a sign stating that the campground is closed July 6-20 for the county fair. That date would vary some year to year. We definitely would stay here again. - Kent and Margaret
