About this campground

Yellow Banks Park in Pleasant Hill Iowa provides partial and primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping. Hiking trails at this 517-acre park lead to scenic overlooks, an oak savanna, a Native American burial mound, and a unique backpacking camping area. Boat ramp is available too.

What campers say

Yellow Banks Park is a scenic, riverfront county park with large, generally flat campsites and pleasant trails; you’ll find wildlife (bald eagles reported) and fishing opportunities. Camp options include primitive, walk-in tent areas—some reached via a steep grade not suitable for trailers—while restrooms range from modern facilities near the ball fields to pit toilets by the pond. Staff and hosts are described as helpful. Practical notes: signage and the online reservation map can be confusing, mosquitoes can be heavy in warm months, and the pond and some areas may have litter or occasional rowdy visitors. Overall a beautiful, low-key spot worth bringing repellent and patience.
