Hardin County Conservation's Eagle Nest and Fisherman’s Bend Cabin is located within Bessman-Kemp Park just outside of Alden, IA. The Iowa River flows alongside this campground, making it a hotspot for fishing and kayaking.

 

Location: In a rural setting, just outside of town, these cabins are recent additions to our Bessman-Kemp Campground at 12260 EE Ave, Alden, IA, 50006.  

Amenities: The cabins feature a queen-sized bed, a new sleeper sofa that converts into a full-sized bed, air conditioning, and a kitchenette. The cabin lot features a picnic table alongside a large fire ring, with plenty of parking space. The Iowa River flows peacefully just across the drive from this facility.
