Osborne Campground Grand Opening

Join Clayton County Conservation for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the Grand Opening of the Osborne Campground! The newly constructed campground is located south of the animal exhibit at Osborne Park. After the ribbon cutting we will provide hotdogs, smores, and beverages for you to enjoy next to a campfire!

Preliminary earth work for the project began in November of 2023. Electric, water, and septic were installed in 2024. A shower/restroom facility was installed in the summer of 2024. Final grading & seeding on the project site was wrapped up by fall of 2024.

The new campground has 20 campsites with electric, water, fire pits and picnic tables. There are also 7 tent sites. The location of the new campground provides easy access to hiking trails, the Volga River, and of course the Osborne Nature Center and Outdoor Wildlife Exhibit.

Osborne Nature Center & campground is located at 29862 Osborne Rd. Elkader, IA 52043.  For more information on this and other events call 563-245-1516 or visit www.claytoncountyconservation.org
