Winterset City Park Campground in Winterset Iowa offers full, partial and primitive hookup RV and tent camping in a city run campground. Reasonable nightly rates the sites are available on a first come first served basis unless they have been previously reserved; reservations can be made 5 days in advance by calling the city offices. Located in the small rural town the campground is adjacent to the city park. Sites are large enough for most sized RVs. Gravel roads and pads with backin sites angled smartly to the road and a few pull thrus too.
Winterset City Park Campground is located in the county seat of Madison County made famous by a 90's era book and movie glorifying an extra marital affair by a rural farm wife seduced by a dashing urban journalist. Despite the message of the movie the name is what sticks around, The Bridges of Madison County. One of those bridges is located right in this park as is an old looking stone bridge, a stone lookout tower, a couple miles of hiking and biking trails, playgrounds, ball fields, and a hedge maze.
Guests can easily walk in to the downtown area to visit the National Quilting Museum or the birthplace of John Wayne. Guests can also venture out to tower the other covered bridges in the area.
A grass tent area is available in a shaded setting. Two bath houses are available and do double as storm shelters. An onsite camphost helps manage sites and sell firewood. All the pull thru sites are partial hookups while some of the backins provide full hookups. Sites share a water spigot.

Iowa Blizzard, Winterset Iowa
Here is a short video of what the Big Blizzard looks like at about noon on Wed., Dec. 9th, 2009. This is what it is like in town, but I imagine it is far worse in the country, and at the farm. Snow depth is deepest in Iowa, 16 in. Temps are near 0

I was given the opportunity recently to fly the Bridges of Madison County. I unfortunately ran out of time to get to all of
them on my travels through Iowa last March 2017. This is the Cedar bridge moved to this location in the 1920's however it was built in 1883.
Burned now twice it is an icon for the little budding tourist efforts west of Des Moines Iowa. Winterset is nearby and also is home to
John Waynes Birthplace home and museum. Worth the visit if you are ever in the area.

Yes, that really is Matt Harding dancing with me in the Inspiration by... clip. This summer, I was fortunate enough to dance with Matt with a group in Chicago for Matt's next around-the-world video. It's due out in June 2008. In the meantime:
Lastly, my apologies to Iowa City, Pella, Davenport, Marion, Waterloo, Mason City, Fairfield, Brooklyn, Forest City, Van Wert, and the other hundreds of cities, towns, parks, golf courses, and cool places that I did not have time to visit or shot crappy clips that didn't make the final cut. There is WAY too much in Iowa to see in one summer, but I made a good run at it.
Iowans, get away from your TV's and computers and go see your state!!! You really don't know what you're missing.
