Pikes Peak State Park Campground to Open Thursday

A popular northeast Iowa campground is set to reopen Thursday.

The Iowa DNR will reopen the newly renovated Pikes Peak State Park campground with upgraded camping amenities, along with the ability to make same-day reservations at all campsites. Improvements include larger sites with pull-through capabilities at most of the 60 campsites; full hook-up electrical with 50-amp service at six campsites, and standard electric at the remaining sites; along with newly paved roads and parking lots.

All campsites will be reservable through the state park reservation site, with the ability to make same-day reservations. Site availability will be known in real-time online, including recent cancellations.

Campers can start making reservations online for Pikes Peak State Park at 9 am. on July 27th, with the same-day window closing at 11:59 pm each day. The “iron ranger” for paper reservations at the campground kiosk has been removed. Campers looking for walk-in reservations will be directed to make their reservation online while onsite.

Reservations can be made at https://iowastateparks.reserveamerica.com/, or by calling (877) 427-2757.
