Arrived and found our site fast; set up and then began to walk down by the lake to see the scenery. The lake was down quiet a bit through out but it was still beautiful. Amenities are great as you didn’t have to keep pushing a button to keep the water on in the shower and there was actual HOT water!!! The following day we went venturing more through out the park as we are planning to get married in July 2020 there at the Shelter House and when doing so there was another wedding that same day already 🙂 Caught a few fish and met Moe the white goose and his mate. Very friendly atmosphere and quiet serine with not being right next to town. Cant wait to come back next year!!!!

Arrived on a whim on an early summer Saturday. Park was completely full save for two full hookup sites. Thanks to their silly reservation process these two were left open. Plenty big to fit our large rig the backin had an amazing view looking out at lilly pad covered lake waters. A great park there was a wonderful mountain biking trail around the lake (5.5 miles long), a swim beach, playground, boat launches, restaurant and good ole’ Americana rural fun.

We paid $19!!! for 50 amp full hookups, no vehicle fees! Amazing deal the location is serene and the neighbors were nice. This is what camping should be. Couldn’t stay here longer because cell and data is not working due to the location down in a crevice/ hole.

Great place to camp. Fished right from shore.

Viking Lake State Park Campground in Stanton Iowa offers full, partial, and primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping near the shores of a recreational lake. Hiking and playgrounds are found within this wooded park the campground is located on the southwestern arm of the lake. Accessed via paved roads the RV sites are found on small single direction loop roads. Some of the areas and sites are accessible to large RVs while others are best to smaller rigs; new guests are encouraged to use the “visitor parking lot – a dirt lot at the entrance) to temporarily park and inspect the property on foot. Drivers with smaller RVs can easily navigate the roads. Tent sites are set on mowed grass and even include a dedicated tent camping area in the back.

Hiking trails circle the lake and take hikers and bikers through thick forests and along the lake shore; all on a mowed grass trail. Launch kayaks, inflatables and fishing boats from any of the number of rampos or off the shore. Anglers catch plenty of fish while sunbathers and kids enjoy the sandy beach for swimming. A playground is available as are showers and restrooms with running water. For partial hookup guests a dump station is available.
