Squirrel Hollow Park

What sets Squirrel Hollow Park apart is its dual appeal: a serene riverside setting combined with a rich mix of recreational opportunities that cater to both traditional campers and equestrian enthusiasts. Located along the Raccoon River, the campground balances quietude and convenience, featuring open spaces, wooded areas, and ample opportunities for outdoor activities including fishing, hiking, and kayaking.

Its standout facilities include a stone shelter house with a fireplace, perfect for gatherings, and dedicated equestrian trails that make it one of Iowa's premier spots for horse camping. The park’s flat terrain adds accessibility, while mature trees provide shade and a sense of seclusion in selected areas.
