White's Riverside Campground - Upper Iowa River

Property Description

With over 200 yards of frontage along the Upper Iowa River, Whites Riverside Campground offers a rare opportunity to own an established riverfront business in one of Northeast Iowa's most sought-after recreational destinations. Located in scenic Bluffton, Iowa, just a short drive from Decorah, this 5.24 +/- acre property sits in the heart of the Driftless Region and provides direct access to some of the Midwest's best kayaking, canoeing, tubing, fishing, and outdoor recreation.

Family-owned and operated, Whites Riverside Campground has become a destination for campers, paddlers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking the beauty and relaxation of the Upper Iowa River Valley. Currently operating from May through October, the campground features 18 electric campsites, each equipped with both 30-amp and 50-amp service, accommodating a wide variety of campers and RVs. During peak demand, the campground can accommodate up to 12 additional tent camping sites, allowing for increased capacity during busy weekends, holidays, and special events.

One of the property's unique advantages is its location along a popular stretch of the Upper Iowa River. Multiple upstream access points allow guests to shuttle kayaks, canoes, and tubes upriver and finish their float directly at the campground, making it an ideal destination for weekend getaways, family vacations, and group outings. The campground has also become a popular gathering place for family reunions and special events, offering something for everyone to enjoy.

The property includes a shower house, pavilion gathering area, storage buildings, established campground roadways, approximately 40 picnic tables, and 40 fire rings that will convey with the sale. Campers can spend the day on the river, enjoy an evening around the campfire, or simply relax beneath the mature shade trees overlooking the water. The combination of river frontage, established infrastructure, and recreational opportunities creates an inviting atmosphere that has attracted visitors for years.

Located near Decorah and numerous Driftless Area attractions, the campground benefits from strong seasonal tourism and convenient access to trout streams, hiking trails, local restaurants, breweries, and other recreational opportunities. Whether you are looking to expand an existing campground operation, invest in a unique hospitality property, or pursue a lifestyle business in one of Iowa's most scenic regions, Whites Riverside Campground presents a truly special opportunity.

Properties with frontage on the Upper Iowa River rarely become available. This is a chance to acquire an established campground business and a premier piece of Northeast Iowa riverfront real estate. Contact Land Agent Kyle Steinfeldt with Midwest Land Group for more information!
