What campers say

Thorpe Park is a small, well-kept lakeside property tucked among trees and noted for calm water and good bass fishing. Visitors commonly praise its peaceful, clean setting and a single rentable cabin that reportedly sleeps about six and includes air conditioning, kitchen, bathroom/shower, a private aluminum dock and—at the time reviewed—an affordable nightly rate near $50. Practical notes: some campsites may not have permanent fire rings, so plan for that, though the cabin is described as having a large fire pit with available wood. Online photos emphasize RV camping, but tents have been accommodated.

📖 About This Campground

Thorpe Park west of Forest City Iowa is home to the county parks commission and offers partial and primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping. The park contains a wetland that is popular with waterfowl hunters in the fall, and 15-area Lake Catherine, which provides a quiet fishing spot year-round. Much of the park is made up of an oak-hickory savanna with numerous prairie areas.
