To ensure the safety of our pets and campers all dogs are required to be up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations. Please bring a copy to the office for verification or take a picture and email it to morwoodcampground@gmail.com before/ when bringing your dogs out. Also, for your safety keep a copy in your camper.

For safety and legal reasons, dogs not properly vaccinated will not be permitted on Morwood property.

For enjoyment of all campers we ask the following:

No aggressive dogs

No dog pins or underground fences for containment

No excessive barking. (Complaints will tracked and action can be taken).

We understand that dogs are animals and they do what animals do. Therefore, we trust that the owners take responsibility for their pets and their actions. Please keep this in mind when you bring a pet to Morwood.

Morwood campground is not liable for pets incidents.

To keep up with the rising costs of the economy, your credit/debit card company will be charging a fee for all transactions. Your financial institution will determine the fee amount, Morwood Campground does not determine this. All cash or check payments will continue to get our lower rates plus 7% Iowa tax. All payments are due within 14 days of your stay. If no payment has been received by the 14th day prior, your reservation will be canceled. You can mail or deliver payment to the office. Morwood does not honor “pay when you arrive.”
