What campers say
McFarlane Park is a small, well‑kept county campground set among mature woods, floodplain prairie and ephemeral ponds, making it a strong choice for birding and wildlife viewing. The site offers a mix of tent and camper spots, a group area, a cabin option, playground, shelter, and public boat/kayak access. It sits adjacent to the Cedar Valley Nature Trail for easy biking. Facilities include modern restrooms and a sizable shower house, though group sites may have more limited water/toilet setups. Visitors note mosquitoes can be heavy in peak season and fishing can be hit‑or‑miss.
