Island View (rathbun Lake)
Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers
New listing
Island View Park is located on beautiful Rathbun Lake, just nine miles northwest of Centerville, Iowa and 8 miles southwest of Moravia. The 11,000-acre lake provides a variety of fishing opportunities for any angler: crappie, channel catfish, walleye and largemouth bass are most common. The prevailing winds on Rathbun Lake, also known as Iowa's Ocean, make it one of the best sailing lakes in Iowa. This large campground offers 187 family sites and one group site, all with electric hookups. Three group picnic sites are also available. Amenities include flush and pit toilets, showers, drinking water and a dump station, and a boat ramp, dock, marina, playgrounds and horseshoe pit are all on-site. Rathbun Lake is situated in the gently rolling hills of the Chariton River Valley in southeast Iowa. The campground consists of open grassy areas dotted with trees. Bald eagles, white-tailed deer, Canada geese, wild turkey and other wildlife can be found at the lake. The Rathbun Fish Hatchery is nearby, offering self-guided tours Monday through Friday year-round; hundreds of thousands of catfish and walleye are produced here each year. Southern Iowa's only Off Highway Vehicle Park is just 20 minutes from the campground, located on the south bank of the South Fork Chariton River and encompassing nearly 125 acres in an abandoned rock quarry.
