Write a ReviewNo, Shimek State Forest lacks full hookups. Water, electric including 30-amp or 50-amp, and sewer hookups remain unknown, fitting its nonmodern state forest style. Campers bring what they need for primitive sites amid the woods.
Yes, Shimek State Forest welcomes pets. Horses ride designated trails, roads, and campgrounds. Follow state rules: leash pets, pick up waste, no breed or size limits noted, but check for equestrian specifics.
Call for rates, as prices sit unlisted online. Expect standard Iowa state park fees covering the 24 sites. Book ahead; it turns 100 percent reservable in April 2026, with same-day options until 10 pm CST.
