Iowa City Moose

We left Indiana today and headed home to Kansas, but stopped overnight at the same location we had stopped on our way to Indiana, the Moose Lodge Campground in Iowa City, Iowa, just off I-80. We had found this to be a very enjoyable place to stay and wanted to return here.

This Lodge has space for four RVs to park with full hookups. The parking spots are on concrete pads with plenty of space to park a car and to put out the awning and lawn chairs if you are so inclined.





The clubhouse is fairly large with lounge, bar, dining room, dance floor, and game area. The front entrance has a large pull-through overhang to load or unload passengers out of the weather. Out back is a nice patio with chairs where people can enjoy a drink and a snack.

Also behind the clubhouse is a very large well equipped playground for kids. This is certainly a family center.








Adjacent to the RV parking spots is a sizable pond and across the pond is an outdoor pavilion shown on the left below. This is where they have cookouts and outdoor parties. Across the way is a baseball field as shown on the right below.


















But the best part is the great people at this Lodge. What a reception we received. They welcomed us back like long lost family and really made us feel at home. It had been three weeks since we stopped here overnight on our way to Indiana, and when we returned, many of the members even remembered our names.

They have a steak cookout scheduled for tomorrow and a shrimp boil scheduled on Saturday. We had originally hoped to stay for both of those activities, but felt we had to get home in plenty of time for Carole's next eye treatment, which we sure don't want to miss. So we passed up what would have been some really great food and good fellowship, and headed home to Kansas after an overnight stay.

But . . . I'm sure we'll be back!
