Volga Lake Campground

A striking contrast to Iowa’s typical farmland landscape, Volga Lake Campground in Fayette offers campers a haven of rugged beauty, nestled within the Volga River State Recreation Area's wooded terrain. With modern amenities, rich outdoor activities, and abundant space for both traditional and equestrian campers, this campground is as versatile as it is scenic.

The campground is divided into two distinct areas: Lakeview Campground provides modern convenience with full hook-ups, clean private shower facilities, and proximity to Frog Hollow Lake, while Albany Campground caters to equestrian enthusiasts with spacious sites, hitching posts, and access to multi-use trails. Guests can enjoy fishing and kayaking at Frog Hollow Lake, where a diverse fishery and accessible docks await, or explore the Volga River’s meandering beauty via canoe or kayak. The extensive 22 miles of trails are perfect for hiking, biking, or winter sports like snowmobiling.

Located just three miles from Fayette, the campground connects visitors to the unique charm of northeastern Iowa, often dubbed “Little Switzerland” for its dramatic rock outcroppings and lush hillsides. Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, Volga Lake Campground offers an immersive outdoor experience that blends modern comfort with natural splendor.
