Pammel Park is a former state park that is now ran by Madison County. The park is extremely beautiful area. It is situated next to the Middle River along a limestone backbone. The campground offers two choices of campsites one which we prefer is in the wooded area of the park, and the other are a more modern in the open with concrete pads. The RV sites offer electric and water hookups. A dump station is available. A great place to which you could tour the "Bridges of Madison County". The park features a ford across the river and a tunnel. The shower faculties were excellent. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very nice rv park that utilizes a self check-in system. Every gravel site has a picnic bench and a combo fire ring/grill. The restrooms and showers were very clean. The park is very pet friendly with plenty of well groomed grass throughout. A perfect place to use as a base to visit the Madison County bridges and the vibrant little town of Winterset. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We pulled into this very clean campground without reservations and had plenty of full hook-up gravel sites to pick from. Even though it is self registration, there was a friendly campground host to help us select a site. We stayed here one night to tour the covered bridges of Madison County. All sites are back in. We camped here in a Motorhome.
For a city park, this is a very nice campground at a good price. Even has a covered bridge in the park. Rock sites, good for the frequent rain, with lots of grass along side, but not level at all (and we tried 4). Camp hosts were hiding out, wouldn't come to door, and not enforcing rules. Kids trashed bathrooms, numerous cars parked on road for a party. A few tv stations on antenna, and VZ aircard worked. Park did not fill on a Sat. night but weekend reservations could be a good idea, if you really want to be in Winterset. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great city park, with wide level sites. RV parking areas are gravel with yards of grass with fire pits. Some have trees, some are open to the southern sky. Some sites are Full hook up, some have just electricity and some are for dry-tent-camping. Prices vary depending on type of site. Great water pressure and stable electricity. It is self registration and reservations can be made (and should be made for weekends). We are full-time RVers who only stopped here for an overnight stay, but we are definitely planning on coming back and staying for awhile. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice city park. Level gravel sites. TV reception from Des Moines is spotty. Close to everything you want to see in the area. 12 large pieces of firewood for only $3.00. Good deal. Would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This can be a very nice campground if it had some rules. We stayed here five nights. The first two nights were wonderful - people were respectful of one another, kept things picked up, were quite, and friendly. Then on Friday night in rolls a number of campers that were loud, disrespectful, allowed their dogs to run free, some hauled in fire wood by the truck load to their campsite, kids were all over the place unsupervised, women running around in bikinis (there is no pool), drinking and partying until 3 or 4 in the morning. The only thing the hosts did was make sure the money was paid. This could be a great campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground located next to the city park. The city park contains picnic shelters, a hedge maze, a covered bridge and an observation tower that looks over a valley. There is also a stone bridge in the park that was in the movie "Bridges of Madison County". We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground was the most pleasant surprise of our trip. It is located next to a city park, very close to the quaint downtown of Winterset and within driving distance of all of the Bridges of Madison County. The sites are spacious, not paved but with nice grassy areas. Campground host was very helpful as was the park ranger. Its a first come, first serve park so arrive early. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a little gem. Lovely little campground on edge of town next to city park. Good signage. Self-registration. Good gravel wide access roads. Most sites are back-ins but there are a few pull-thru's(these are electric only). The back-in sites were level and wide with large grass areas between each site. Majority of sites had full hook-up but water stand was one between two sites so would need Y junction if the campground was busy. Limited infrastructure but superb ambience. Excellent for visiting John Waynes birthplace and the covered bridges of Madison County. We camped here in a Motorhome.
