Camping near Farley, Iowa
Farley sits in Dubuque County in eastern Iowa, roughly 20 miles west of the Mississippi River city of Dubuque and within easy reach of Dyersville, home of the Field of Dreams movie site. The surrounding countryside is classic eastern Iowa: rolling farmland, wooded ridges, and small rivers rather than flat prairie, which makes for scenic drives and shaded campgrounds.
RV travelers have a mix of options within a short drive. Riverview Ridge Campgrounds and Hoot Owl Hollow Campground offer rural sites close to town. Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Monticello, about 30 minutes southwest along the Maquoketa River, is the region’s best-known family resort and the first Iowa park in the Jellystone franchise, opening under that brand in 2016 on a site that has hosted campers since the 1970s. Tri-State Raceway and RV Park caters to visitors attending events near Dubuque, and Blue Inn Campground rounds out the closer options.
Dubuque County also operates public parks with camping, and reservations for county campsites are handled by the Dubuque County Conservation Board. Most private and public campgrounds in the area are seasonal, running roughly from mid-April to late October.
Things to do around Farley
The Field of Dreams Movie Site in nearby Dyersville is the top family draw, with the original farmhouse, baseball diamond, and youth tournaments during summer. In Dubuque, Eagle Point Park delivers panoramic views over the Mississippi and Lock and Dam 11, and the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium is a full-day indoor option for rainy weather.
Outdoor time is easy to fill. The Heritage Trail runs on a converted rail bed between Dubuque and Dyersville and is well suited for family biking. Swiss Valley Nature Preserve near Peosta has hiking through woodlands along spring-fed Catfish Creek, which the Iowa DNR stocks with trout, and the Maquoketa River corridor near Monticello supports paddling and fishing.
At Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Monticello, on-site attractions include a heated pool, planned kids’ activities, pedal boats, a jumping pillow, and a WIBIT inflatable water course.

The camping season in this part of Iowa is short and clearly defined. Most private parks and county campgrounds open in mid-April and close in late October. Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Monticello operates April through October, with pool and water attractions running through the warm-weather months.
June through August is peak season. Weekends around Memorial Day, the 4th of July, the Great Jones County Fair in Monticello, and Labor Day book out first, and Jellystone Monticello treats these as premium dates with tighter discount and cancellation rules. Families targeting these weekends should reserve well ahead. May and September are the sweet spots for cooler weather, fewer bugs, and easier bookings.
Winter camping options are limited. Swiss Valley Campground allows year-round camping for self-contained rigs, but water hookups and modern shower and restroom buildings at Dubuque County parks are typically closed from about November 1 through May 1, and snow and ice can affect access roads.
How to book a campsite
Reservation systems vary by ownership. Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Monticello books directly through its own website and reservations line, and holiday weekends fill early. Confirm deposit, balance, and cancellation terms with the park at the time of booking, since these vary by site type and season.
Dubuque County parks such as Swiss Valley Campground, Mud Lake Park, and Finley’s Landing accept online bookings through the county’s mycountyparks.com portal up to one year in advance. Only about 30 percent of sites at Swiss Valley and Mud Lake can be reserved online; the remaining 70 percent are first come, first served, so arriving early on summer Fridays helps.
Smaller private parks in the area, including Riverview Ridge Campgrounds, Hoot Owl Hollow Campground, Tri-State Raceway and RV Park, and Blue Inn Campground, are best booked by phone. Confirm rig length, hookup amperage, and slide-out clearance directly with the office.
What to expect on the ground
Sites in this region range from wooded, gravel pull-throughs at resort-style parks to grassy back-ins at smaller county and private campgrounds. Full hookups are common at Jellystone Monticello, while Dubuque County campgrounds typically offer 30- or 50-amp electric with water at many sites and a central trailer dump station near the shower building.
Cell coverage is generally solid along the US-20 and US-151 corridors around Farley, Dyersville, and Monticello, and drops off in the deeper river valleys. Grocery runs are easiest in Dubuque or Dyersville. Iowa restricts moving firewood, and out-of-state firewood is prohibited in Dubuque County parks, so buy bundles on site.
Expect classic Midwest camping conditions: warm humid days, cool evenings, mosquitoes near water in mid-summer, and occasional strong thunderstorms. Grass sites can get soft after heavy rain, and level blocks are useful on older sites.
