Pammel Park Campground

Pammel Park is located 4 miles southwest of Winterset. The campgrounds have 36 designated modern sites providing electrical and water hookups. There are also 5 tent-only sites. Modern bathrooms and showers are also provided along with play equipment. Dump station provided.

Two yurts are adjacent to the south camping loop in Pammel Park. These yurt-style cabins are managed as “3-season” cabins that are open for public use from April through October, and are available by two-day advance reservation only. (Reservations can be made online. Yurt reservations can be made up to two years in advance based on a rolling calendar. Book early for weekends & holidays; weeknights have better availability.)

Directions: From Winterset travel west on State Highway 92 for 1 mile, turn south on County Highway P68 for 3 miles. This main entrance requires that you travel through a tunnel with a 12′ 6″ clearance and a fairly tight turn on the east end of the tunnel.* 

*If your camper is too tall for this clearance, follow these directions: From Winterset travel south on U.S. Highway 169 for 1.75 miles, turn west on Carver Trail for 2.5 miles, turn north on Pammel Park Trail for 0.5 miles to enter the South gates of Pammel Park.

Campgrounds and cabins will be open the first weekend in April and remain open through the last weekend in October.
