The main camping season in this part of Iowa runs from mid-spring through mid-fall. Iowa DNR staff generally try to have water and shower buildings open by May 1 and typically start closing them down around mid-October, depending on weather. Frost-free hydrants may be available for off-season camping, but there is no guarantee that modern facilities will be available in April or later in October.
Wildcat Den follows a similar rhythm. Its campground is closed January through March, off-peak in April, peak from May through mid-October, off-peak the rest of October, and closed November and December. Spring wildflowers along Pine Creek and the limestone bluffs are a strong draw, and fall color along the sandstone bluffs pulls visitors in October.
Private parks run shorter seasons. Cedar River Campground operates from April 15 through October 15. Big River State Forest across the river is popular in shoulder seasons for hunting and quieter camping.
