The Best Camping Near Wheatland, Iowa

This park and campground is also right on the Wapsipinicon River, right across the river from Toronto, Iowa, most of the route being on blacktop. The cellphone signal was good; at least it passed the test of FaceTiming my wife to check for lag. This park was kept up, but it had that funky vibe some river campgrounds (and towns) have, smelling of river and mud and fish--in a good way, really. Some care had been put into the park, but it still had that kicked back "Anything bitin'?" feel. The individual sites along the river had a great view, but maybe retained a few memories and scars from the last flood. There are newer camping sections a bit away from the river, but this county park has obviously not been "upgraded" using an Army Corps template. The campground is probably crowded on summer weekends, but hitting the park in the off-season would most likely yield a quiet few days.
