Headwaters Campground | Crystal Lake, IA

Our Story

Not Just a Place to Sleep.
A Place to Wake Up.

Most campgrounds are about leaving something behind. Headwaters is about finding it — the quiet that comes when the engine cuts out, the sound of water that isn't from a faucet, the kind of darkness where the stars actually appear.

Located at 115 1st Street in Crystal Lake, Iowa, we sit at the headwaters — the very source — of the waterways that carry you downstream. This isn't a pass-through stop. It's a destination.
