Howell Station Campground


The second camping weekend has been set up for Friday September 27 through Sunday Sept. 29. The camper’s plan is to arrive on Thursday again at Howell Station Campground on Lake Red Rock near Pella. Please contact Kim for more information on camping at this nice Army Corp of Engineers Campground. Sept 28 is a Hawkeye bye week. The hotel folks plan to arrive on Friday afternoon, Sept 27 to prepare for the Saturday bicycle ride. Saturday, Sept 28 at 9:00 the EISC will be riding the Volgweg trail that runs from Pella towards the Howell Station Campground and along the north shore of Lake Red Rock. There are many attractions to explore along with all of the Dutch history to learn about & enjoy in the Pella area. The hotel for the members who prefer not to camp will be named later. The group will spend Saturday evening in Pella and plans to return home Sunday, Sept 29.

Update on the campers: we have each reserved sites 103-107 and 142 for a total of 11 members camping. Let Kim know if you want to camp. 

Campers, plan to reserve campsites 104-110 which are along the river (the map says these are not reservable-but I found I could reserve them when I tested the website). They open up six months in advance rolling day by day. So, it is critical you reserve your site on March 26 when the September 26-29th days opens up. You can then reserve that day and the days after it. Contact Kim for more information and if you want a reminder.  You can reserve 4 sites using one credit card & registration.
