Overseers are always close if you need help but don't bother anybody. Clean restrooms.

Very strange shower room stall layout. Stranger than 1970s High School. Erosion and poor beach access and condition. Good for fishermen.

Honestly, this place is just not good. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. Continuous partying until 2, 3, 4am. Dogs off leash (we saw two dog fights in the three days we were there). Our campsite was a muddy mess. Lots of trash. Not well kept. I will never stay at this campsite again.. so many better sites out there and available!

This campground is beautiful with both mature trees and open spaces. We were under big oak trees with tons of shade. CoE campgrounds are always my first choice because they are well maintained, convenient and beautiful. We toured the other CoE campgrounds and they were also beautiful. You can't lose at any of these CoE campgrounds.
There are lots of conveniences around the lake but we don't have a boat so our options for entertainment were limited. We had just spent 3 days near Yankton SD where there are many entertainment options so we were expecting more at Iowa's largest lake. The fish hatchery, however, was closed and the marina was just confusing. Signage at the marina was very poor so we weren't sure where to go for what. We also couldn't find a winery or brewery nearby but did find a nice town square in Centerville.
We probably won't go back to Rathbun simply because we don't have a boat. I do, however, recommend this campground and all of the CoE campgrounds around this lake.
