Camping near Eagle Grove, Iowa
Eagle Grove sits in Wright County in north-central Iowa, roughly a half-hour drive from a cluster of state parks along the Des Moines River Valley that anchor most RV trips in the area. The closest developed camping is at Brushy Creek State Recreation Area, one of Iowa's premier outdoor recreation destinations with a mosaic of native prairie, grassland, timber, riparian and lake habitats spread across 6,500 acres, centered on a 690-acre lake that is the deepest artificial permanent pool lake in Iowa.
Important status note: the North, Middle (Beach), and South campgrounds at Brushy Creek are not accepting reservations for the 2026 season due to ongoing renovations, and all three loops remain closed until the project is complete. Confirm current status with the Iowa DNR before planning a trip.
Further options include Dolliver Memorial State Park, which spreads across roughly 600 acres of bluffs, canyons and flatlands along the Des Moines River Valley, plus Ambrose A. Call State Park, a 138-acre pocket of rugged hills and virgin timber near the east fork of the Des Moines River in Kossuth County.
Things to do around Eagle Grove
Water and trails dominate the recreation menu. At Brushy Creek, the lake is used for swimming, fishing and boating, and more than 45 miles of trails support horseback riding, including two equestrian campgrounds, plus a 12-mile gravel trail around Brushy Creek Lake for biking. Anglers can target bluegill, crappie, largemouth bass, channel catfish, walleye or muskellunge.
Dolliver Memorial State Park is the scenic pick for families, with nearly six miles of winding trails leading through the Copperas Beds, unique sandstone formations that tower 100 feet above Prairie Creek. Ambrose A. Call adds two miles of secluded, heavily wooded trails that wind through the forest, down a ravine and along a winding creek, an 18-hole disc golf course through wooded areas and prairies, and a 1920s-era log-cabin lodge.

The practical RV season in this part of Iowa runs roughly mid-April through October. At Brushy Creek, park staff generally try to have water on and shower buildings and dump stations open by May 1, and start closing them around mid-October depending on weather. Camping in April or later in October carries no guarantee that modern facilities will be available.
Dolliver has firmer bookends: the campground is closed January 1 through March 31 and November 1 through December 31, with off-peak operation in April and late October and peak operation May 1 through October 15. Reservations at Dolliver are accepted April 1 through October 31 until 10 pm CST the day of arrival. Ambrose A. Call runs slightly later, accepting reservations April 15 through November 15, with the campground closed November 16 through April 14.
Summer weekends and holidays fill fastest, and equestrian campers should note that equestrian trails may close after rainfall or other weather events to protect natural areas from degradation, reopening when conditions improve.
How to book campgrounds near Eagle Grove
Iowa state park sites are booked through the Iowa DNR reservation system, hosted on ReserveAmerica. The campgrounds are 100% reservable and a reservation is required.
Booking windows are short compared with federal parks. Under normal operations at Brushy Creek, reservations must be made two days ahead of arrival and can be made up to three months in advance, though the 2026 renovation closure suspends bookings until the DNR announces firm reopening dates. Dolliver accepts same-day reservations up to three months out, while Ambrose A. Call is same-day reservable as well. Peak season at these parks runs May 1 through October 31 with a two-night minimum on weekends, a three-night minimum on major holiday weekends, and a maximum stay of 14 consecutive nights.
What to expect on the ground
Facilities vary widely across the three parks. The non-equestrian campground at Brushy Creek contains electric and full hookup sites with water and sewer, while the equestrian loops add tie rails and trailer-friendly layouts. Dolliver offers electric campsites plus tent areas, with a modern restroom and shower building, a dump station, and two rentable cabins. Ambrose A. Call is more rustic: electric or non-electric sites are available, but the campground does not have a shower building or modern restroom, though a vault toilet is provided.
Connectivity is limited in the river valley, so plan to buy firewood, groceries and fuel in Fort Dodge or Eagle Grove before heading in. All animals must be kept on a leash not to exceed six feet in length, and Iowa has lifted its statewide firewood quarantine, though moving firewood is still discouraged to slow the spread of emerald ash borer.
