About
Roberts Creek East Campground is operated by Marion County Conservation and sits along the eastern shore of 300-acre Roberts Creek Lake in central Iowa. The campground features 55 full-service campsites with 20/30/50 amp electric service, water, and sewer hookups. A modern shower building, flush restrooms, dump station, and playground serve campers, with an on-site campground host available for assistance. The campground is situated on the no-wake side of Roberts Creek Lake, making it ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and anglers seeking a quieter experience. Crappie fishing draws regular visitors to the lake. A paved trail system connects to the area for biking and walking. The park is just 6 miles west of the Dutch heritage town of Pella and offers convenient access to nearby Lake Red Rock recreation opportunities.
