Honey Creek State Park

What sets Honey Creek State Park Campground apart is its stunning location on a peninsula surrounded by the expansive Rathbun Lake, offering campers breathtaking water views and access to Iowa's largest lake for an array of outdoor activities. With modern amenities, diverse camping options, and proximity to regional attractions like Honey Creek Resort, it provides a top-tier camping experience.

The campground’s 149 sites accommodate a variety of camping preferences, including full-hookup RV sites, electric-only spots, primitive camping areas, and even rustic log cabins for a unique stay. Each site features essential comforts such as picnic tables, fire rings, and access to modern restrooms with showers. The park's five miles of multi-use trails, highlighted by the Woodland Interpretive Trail with its preserved Native American mounds, offer an immersive hiking experience. Rathbun Lake is a hub for boating, swimming, and fishing, with the campground providing convenient access via Iowa’s largest boat ramp and a fish-cleaning station.

Located about 12 miles southeast of Moravia, Iowa, in Appanoose County, the park is also a short drive from Honey Creek Resort. The resort enhances the visit with amenities such as an indoor water park, a golf course, and dining options. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation by the lake, or both, Honey Creek State Park Campground is an ideal choice for weekend getaways, family vacations, or extended outdoor excursions.
