New listing
The Sugar Bottom Campground is located on the shores of Coralville Lake, in the Iowa River Valley just north of Iowa City. The Coralville Lake Project is a multiple-use project providing primary benefits in flood control and low flow augmentation, and secondary benefits in recreation, fish and wildlife management and forest management. Visitors enjoy Coralville Lake for boating, fishing, swimming and water activities, along with camping, hiking, mountain biking, picnicking and hunting. Anglers will find large and smallmouth bass, crappie, walleye and catfish. Hiking and mountain biking are popular activities in Sugar Bottom, and several trails are within it, including the Cedar Valley Nature Trail, the Sugar Bottom Mountain Bike Trail, and a barrier-free asphalt trail. The Sugar Bottom Day Use Area holds both the mountain bike trail, which offers beginner to expert routes, and the Sugar Bottom Disc Golf Course, with 18 partially wooded and open holes. The campground offers 232 campsites, including full hook-up campsites, 50-amp electric and water hookup campsites, standard 30-amp electric campsites, and non-electric walk-to tent campsites. Amenities include modern restroom and shower facilities, vault toilets, a dump station, drinking water supply, entrance station, beach and boat ramp. The Sugar Bottom Campground lies among a heavily wooded forest of mixed hardwood species on the east side of the lake. Wildlife is abundant throughout the project: whitetail deer, turkeys, pheasants, waterfowl, song birds and other species roam the lands around the lake. The Devonian Fossil Gorge is 10 miles away, just below the Coralville Dam. It offers a unique opportunity to explore a 375-million-year-old sea floor and discover fossil remains of sea life that once inhabited this tropical marine environment, and twenty Discovery Points can be found throughout the site. Iowa City and Coralville offer the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the University of Iowa campus, hospital and clinics, numerous restaurants and shops as well as Coral Ridge Mall. Cedar Rapids has wonderful cultural, historic and ethnic attractions such as The National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library and is the home of the Kernels Professional Baseball Club. West Branch boasts the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site and Presidential Library/Museum, the Amana Colonies hold seven quaint villages with outstanding restaurants, wineries, historic sites and specialty shops, and Kalona is known as the "Quilt Capital of Iowa" and is home to an Old Order Amish and Mennonite Community.
