About
Linder Point Campground is located within the Dam Complex at Coralville Lake, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers multi-purpose reservoir on the Iowa River just north of Iowa City. The campground occupies a shaded setting among mixed hardwood forest on the west side of the dam, offering 18 campsites ranging from primitive non-electric to full hookup with electric, water, and sewer connections. The campground features modern restroom and shower facilities, with each site equipped with a fire pit and picnic table on paved driveways. Sites accommodate RVs up to 60-64 feet with 20/30/50 amp electrical service available. A dump station and potable water fill station are located just outside the nearby West Overlook Campground. Trash and recycling receptacles are provided throughout. Recreational opportunities abound, including access to the Woodpecker Nature Trail from the adjacent Linder Point Day Use Area, the Turkey Creek Disc Golf Course, and the unique Devonian Fossil Gorge below the dam where visitors can explore a 375-million-year-old sea floor. Coralville Lake offers excellent fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, walleye, and catfish.
