Guide to Eisenhower State Park

Best Campsites

For Families:Book the campsites with water and electricity first - they sit close to restrooms and are the most popular with families, so they go fastest.
For Privacy:The water-only tent sites in the Armadillo Hill and Fossil Ridge areas offer the most solitude away from the RV loops.
For RVs:The full hookup sites are the best bet for RVs - reserve them early since there are only 50 and they sell out first.
