Things to do around Trimont
Fishing and paddling drive most trips here. The Des Moines River flows through Kilen Woods State Park, offering opportunities for fishing, hiking, canoeing, and viewing wildlife in the oak forest, meadows and prairie. Anglers commonly target walleye, northern pike, catfish, and bullhead in the river.
Hiking is straightforward and family-friendly. Well-maintained trails wind through prairie, river bottoms, and oak savanna at Kilen Woods, and the entire park can be hiked in a day, which works for day visitors or campers looking for moderate trail experiences. At Fort Defiance, several trails traverse the hills and woodlands surrounding the old army-post-style lodge.
Jackson KOA Journey caters to families with a pool, playground, and pavilion for group activities, plus proximity to local lakes and small-town amenities in Jackson.

How to book a campsite near Trimont
Reservation rules vary by campground type. Minnesota state parks use a central reservation system: bookings can be made online or by phone at 866-857-2757, up to 120 days before arrival and as late as the same day. All campsites in Minnesota state parks and recreation areas require a reservation before they may be occupied.
Iowa state parks use ReserveAmerica. At Fort Defiance, reservations must be made at least four days ahead of arrival and can be made up to 12 months in advance. The campground is 100 percent reservable and accepts reservations from April 1 through November 15, until 10:00 pm CST the day of arrival.
Private campgrounds book directly. Jackson KOA Journey uses KOA's national reservation platform; Sands Country Cove Campground and Flying Goose Campground and Resort take bookings through their own offices.
What to expect on-site
Facilities differ sharply between private and state-park campgrounds. Jackson KOA Journey offers full-hookup pull-throughs alongside a pool, laundry, and camp store, with cabin and glamping options available as well.
Kilen Woods offers a middle ground. Amenities include drinking water, vault toilets, showers, and a trailer dump station, plus a picnic area and shelter, volleyball court and horseshoes. Loop B has eleven electric sites and eight non-electric sites, and four walk-in sites sit on the east side of the loop.
Fort Defiance is rustic. The campground is non-modern with a pit latrine and no showers or flush toilets, though electrical hookups are available at some sites. Minnesota firewood rules apply: buy firewood locally near the park you are visiting and burn it all during your stay, since moving firewood can spread invasive pests.
