Porth's RV Park & Storage 101 Grove Street, Calamus, IA 52729

"If you're looking for a nice pace to camp, this isn't it. It's a couple of gravel parking lots. However, they're level, have full hook-ups, good water pressure, and decent shade. I get the clientele out here are mostly transient construction workers, which is fine I used to do the same thing. Expect some loud music late at night, some mild drunken shouting. The owner of the park is great and got us in last minute when we couldn't get a spot anywhere else. Stayed for about a week while conducting some business in a nearby town, would come back if I needed to, just wouldn't be my first choice."

"Very friendly. Told us everything was included, until a larger rv with 3 air conditioners pulled in. Started charging everyone after 500 used on electric. Train traffic was horrible. Ear plugs are a must if you intend to sleep. They stayed open longer for us into the cold season because we were working there. 1 gas station with minimal groceries. Will stay again if in the area with ear plugs."

"Nice couple owns and runs this park. They are very helpful. Park is located near the school, where a softball tournament was going on during our stay. Site had plenty of space for slides and plenty of room for our big fifth wheel trailer. Large grass area to play on, and a nearby city park with playground. Enjoyed the high concentration of fireflies this time of year. Especially appreciated the use of our Passport America membership. Be aware the site is close to heavily used train tracks, with freight trains passing by at all hours of the day and night. This is the ONLY reason I did not give the highest rating for this RV park. Had to catch up on sleep after we left. I suppose a pair of earplugs would have solved most of the issue. It should be illegal for trains to blare their horns in populated towns in the middle of the night! There are already working crossing signals."
