Ambrose A. Call State Park

About

Ambrose A. Call State Park is a 138-acre woodland oasis in northern Iowa near Algona, featuring one of the few remaining stands of virgin timber in the region. The park's terrain of rugged hills and ravines contrasts sharply with the surrounding gentle farmland, creating a secluded camping environment. The campground provides 16 sites total: 13 with 20/30-amp electric hookups and 3 non-electric tent sites. This is a non-modern facility with vault toilets and water hydrants for filling containers. Site lengths range from 20 to 31 feet, accommodating small to mid-size RVs with both back-in and pull-through options available. Two miles of heavily wooded trails descend through ravines and follow a winding creek. An 18-hole disc golf course and a historic 1920s-era log cabin provide additional attractions. The campground operates seasonally from April 15 through November 15. All sites are reservable through the Iowa State Parks reservation system. A day-use lodge built in 1928 can be reserved for group events from May 1 through September 30.
