About
Roberts Creek West Campground sits within Roberts Creek Park, one of Iowa's largest county-managed parks covering 1,535 acres. The west campground provides 65 full-hookup sites with 20/30/50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections, plus 2 additional sites with electric and water only. Each campsite features a picnic table and fire ring with grate, and many sites offer paved pads for easy setup. The campground includes a modern shower building and two additional flush restroom facilities, a dump station, playground area, and overflow parking for extra vehicles and boat trailers. A campground host is on-site during the season for assistance. Roberts Creek Lake, a 300-acre impoundment just north of Lake Red Rock, offers boating, fishing, and swimming opportunities directly from the park. The area connects to a 13-mile paved hiking and biking trail along the Lake Red Rock shoreline, and the park features disc golf, hunting areas, and wildlife viewing. The city of Pella with its Dutch heritage is just 7 miles east.
