Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Camp 15miles south of CR at the Amana Colonies RV park. The nearby town has crazy good restaurants, shops, wineries and a brewery.

There are a number of nice state parks in the area with camping. Pinicon Ridge, Palisades Kepler, and Lake McBride come to mind quickly. Also some COE campgrounds in the Coralville Reservoir area. Nice county park about 20 miles south - Kent Park.

Morgan Creek Park Campground. It's a county park just outside Cedar Rapids. Very nice campground.

If Urbana Iowa is near stay atLazy Acres Campground. Long level sights very wide full hook ups and everything was spotless.. Would not hesitate to stay there again

Not sure when you are planning on being in the Cedar Rapids area, but they have major flooding forecast for The weekend and next week. Huge rainfalls in the watershed north of Cedar Rapids will reach the area about Sunday or Monday per the current projections. Anything along a river is likely to be closed or at least affected.

The rivers most affected are the Cedar River and the Wapsipinicon river. Pinicon Ridge and Palisades Kepler are along these rivers, just FYI.

X2 on this !

The big advantage here is that now you are just a hop, skip, and a jump from Amana - yummy German restaurants, the Meat shop, wineries, and the Furniture/Clock Shop !

There are two county parks one on each side of Cedar Rapids. On the East is Squaw Creek, has reservable sites (my county parks.com). On the west is Morgan Creek both are very nice.
