Hello everybody and welcome to the Outback Campground and Resort! I am so thankful to God for His providences in bringing everything together for this campground. In the spring of 2007, Outback was just a dream—my vision. By July of 2007, it was a beautiful place filled with wonderful campers. The Outback was such a mess when we started on this great endeavor. It was a huge undertaking to clear the brush and completely restore all of the buildings. By God’s Grace, we persevered, and the Outback was born and created. It was a lot of work, but to see all of the smiling faces and the laughing children made it well worth it.

The camping season for 2008 was exciting! Ragbrai, Storm Seymore, Major Day, Karate Demonstration, UNI Cheerleader Performance,  Tulip the Clown, Fourth of July Parade, Bounce House, and Hay Rides during Fall Fest were some of the special events that occurred at the Outback this summer. There were activities/crafts for children, and entertainment for the whole family each Saturday. I am so thankful for my campground hosts—the Borsch’s. They are such a huge part of the Outback! We want the Outback to be a place where you and your family can pursue happiness!

We are excited about the new expansions now ready for the 2009 season.  We have added 56 more50/30amp camping spots for seasonal or weekend campers.   In addition we have private group camping for 8 campers.  Due to popular demand we will continue with Saturday crafts, activities, and D.J. along with other special events.  Come and join the fun during our 2009 camping season.

We hope your stay at Outback Campground & Resort will be a positive experience. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon. For those of you who camped with us last year, I look forward to growing our friendship.
