Summer is finally here and, with Memorial Day around the corner, now is the perfect time to start your summer off right with a worry-free weekend in the great outdoors. The Iowa State Fair Campgrounds has plenty of space available through mid-July where you can enjoy peaceful country comforts alongside big city style and excitement.

Ranked among the most beautiful in the Midwest, the 160-acre grounds are home to century-old trees, woodland flora and small wildlife. The Campgrounds houses over 1800 sites fully equipped with water and electrical hookups, 600 sites with sewers, and three large bathhouses outfitted with clean showers, toilets and sinks.

Reservations are suggested and can be made by calling the Iowa State Fair Campgrounds office at (515) 262-3111, ext. 284.
