Overview

An hour outside Des Moines, Jefferson makes a convenient launching point for Greene County camping adventures. Pedal down Jefferson’s 56-mile biking trail through Raccoon River Valley after setting up camp in nearby Spring Lake Park. Here, RV and tent sites have electric hookups, firepits, and picnic tables as well as accessibility to showers and bathrooms. South of Jefferson, Springbrook State Park encompasses 12 miles of hiking trails through rolling hills and a fishing lake stocked with crappie and largemouth bass. Find a cabin rental in the park with a full kitchen for a family, or park the RV in spacious, ADA-accessible vehicle sites near restrooms and dump stations. For a swim break, head to Jefferson and Big Creek State Park, Iowa’s largest state-park beach. Extend the stay at private campsites in town that include glamping cabins with access to saltwater hot tubs, or big rig-friendly campgrounds that provide firewood, private showers, and on-site playgrounds.
