Lake Anita State Park — Hotel in Atlantic

On our trip outwest on the very 1st day we stopped at lake Anita campground. My husband happened to notice that we had a flat on the inside dual tire. I was quite discouraged because on our first trip out this year during the heat wave our air conditioner had a meltdown in the middle of Nebraska. Anyway, The campground host Brad came to our rescue. He called friend after friend to see if they could come out to help on a Friday night. Finally he got someone to help us out his name was Rex. Now mind you this is a one ton RV we have no tools no Jack nothing to change the tire except we had a spare. Rex came prepared brought an air compressor tools and everything that we needed and him and Brad worked very hard on our RV and got the job done. Rex aired up the spare and gave us advice on where to get a new tire. We are very appreciative of how Brad went above and beyond being the campground host bringing in his friend to help with the tire. And anytime we're out that way we were surely stopped there. Thank you Brad and Rex!! Bob and Cindy and Wyatt ( our Rottweiler) From...

Reserved spot 113 for two nights this weekend. Traveled with my two kids, nine and six, to meet Grandma and Grandpa. Park was prfect let cation that under normal circumstances would have been an excellent campground minus a few challenges.

Modern testrooms, cleaned and well maintained in addition to the water hookup at our sit was a nice touch.

You may want to take the following challenges with a grain of salt but we camp all over the upper Midwest so I have seen the good and the bad.

First off the terranced camp sites make for a great view but can make backing in a 40' 5th wheel challenging on a single lane road with minimal shoulder. With two kids it was a bit of an adventure to get to the only playground all the way on the other end of the campground. The one lane roads make for interesting routes through the campground. When it's time to dump tanks you have to look all the way up to the other end of the campground to the SINGLE dump site. Would benefit in adding two or even four sites down closer to...

Lake Anita State Park is a great park. You can fish, swim and no wake boat. The campground is pretty big, but if you want hook ups most of the RV sites will be reserved on the weekends as many people from the local area spend weekends there. There is a pretty sizable tent area and most of those sites have shade. They will also be busier on the weekends but not usually full. There is a bike/ walking trail that goes all the way around the lake about 4.5 miles. The town of Anita is not very big. They have a convenience store and a small grocery store so if you need something more than what they have to offer it will be a 15 mile drive to Atlantic, IA for grocery stores and Walmart. You can expect to see deer, many types of birds, and maybe even an eagle. The shower houses and restrooms in the campground have always been clean and well maintained when I've camped there. They do have day use picnic shelters throughout the...
