Matsell Bridge Pack-in Campground

Matsell Bridge Pack-in Campground offers 2 primitive pack-in or paddle-in campsites along the Wapsipinicon River, each with a picnic table and fire ring, available year-round on a first-come, first-served basis.

A concrete boat ramp near the maintenance shop provides river access for paddlers, with approximately a 3-hour float to historic Stone City.

Potable water is available April-October at the maintenance shop (3742 Matsell Park Road), though campers should bring their own firewood.
