This is a great place to kayak or tube. We kayaked for about 2 hours and then ate lunch and went again for another 2 hour ride. There was only one spot that the trees had almost blocked off. If you get in the river by the crossing, you will get off the river about a 6 minute walk to your vehicle. There were quite a few people fishing.

I've visited here twice now over the last 12 months. Great place. Love the smooth concrete road through the park and the water crossing is awesome!

A beautiful park and recreation area near Winterset. Nice hiking trails, picnic areas, and bird watching. Just note, there is a prairie rattler habitat nearby, so watch out for snakes.

Please go check this state park out. It's just a few miles south of winters and it's worth the drive. There's a ford you can drive over if the water isn't too deep. You can also fish from there and the water is low enough you can easily enter it with kayaks or floats. Definitely a fun spot for anyone to come and check out. We definitely recommend it!!

Questions & Answers

We have a 43ft toy hauler. Are there any sites in Pammel park campground long enough for us? I can't tell by looking at the website where you make your reservation.

We had a 42 fifth wheel we stayed at 21 across from play ground. The sites on that side where fine. Most of the sites on the hill are long enough.

Can you float from Roseman Bridge to Pammell Park or is it too dangerous or do you need a paddle?

Bruce Dawson | May 22, 2021
Joe Berry | May 23, 2021

To shallow right now. I did it a week ago and 90% of it was only about a foot and a half deep

What are cabins like? Do you have photos?

Rachael Pitchford | May 23, 2019
Joel Martin | May 24, 2019

The yurts (they aren't cabin, more like big permanent tents) are very nice. Has everything a hotel room would have except for bathrooms. Pictures I believe of interior are on their website.

Does this park have camping cabins?

Katrina Phelan | May 23, 2018
Jessica Ayer | May 24, 2018

It has 2 Yurts, but I think they were planning on another this year. They're nice. Plan for "roughing it" a bit though, running water is outside, and the restrooms are a short walk away. There's fridge, stove, air, sleeping space for 8 and hot showers at the restroom.
