A quiet stretch of wooded sites along the Iowa prairie — where the only alarm clock is the morning chorus of birds.

Our Story

A place to slow
down and breathe

Sunnyside Park Campground sits on a quiet stretch of land just outside Atlantic, Iowa — far enough from the main road to feel hidden, close enough that you never have to worry about running out of supplies.

We opened our gates to travelers who wanted something simpler: a patch of shade, a place to pitch a tent or pull in the RV, and the kind of stillness that lets you remember what a weekend was supposed to feel like.

Whether you're passing through on a cross-state drive or planning a full escape, we've built Sunnyside Park to be the kind of place you don't rush out of.
