Why Monroe families camp at The Oaks
Monroe families make the trip for a weekend in the woods: about 120 acres of riding and hiking trails, a fishing lake on site, a sand beach on our spring-fed swim lake and Waterloo’s lakes next door.
Check-in is no-wait so you drive straight to your site, short-term RV and tent sites have a fire pit and picnic table, and the camp store has groceries, ice, firewood, ice cream and bait. See the full list of amenities and activities.
