How to book
Iowa state park sites, including Wildcat Den State Park and Fairport State Recreation Area, are booked through the Iowa State Parks reservation system on ReserveAmerica. The Wildcat Den campground is 100 percent reservable, and reservations must be made at least 4 days ahead of arrival and can be made up to 12 months in advance.
Private parks, including Rock Island / Quad Cities KOA Holiday, Haven Hills Campground & Resort, and Interstate RV Park, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Summer weekends and holidays should be booked several weeks ahead for full-hookup pull-through sites.
Iowa state park cancellation policies carry fees and may forfeit one or more nights of camping for late cancellations, so lock in dates only when plans are firm.
What to expect
Sites near Blue Grass range from rustic to full-service. Wildcat Den State Park has 28 non-modern campsites with water and vault toilets, but no showers and no electrical service, so RV renters should arrive with fresh water topped off and expect no on-site hookups. Big rigs will find tighter maneuvering in the wooded loops there.
For full hookups, level pads, and dump stations, plan on Rock Island / Quad Cities KOA Holiday, Haven Hills Campground & Resort, or Interstate RV Park. These parks typically offer 30 and 50 amp service, Wi-Fi, and laundry.
Emerald ash borer has been confirmed in all 99 counties in Iowa; buying firewood locally near the park and burning it all during the stay helps slow the spread of forest pests. Pets cannot be left unattended in state park campgrounds.
