Cabin/Shelter Online Rental Notice: 

Visa, Mastercard & Discover Card are the only forms of acceptable payment at this time.  American Express is not accepted 

ATTENTION: Beginning January 1st, 2019, a cabin or shelter house that is reserved, will have a Non-Refundable $4.00 Processing Fee added to each facility in a shopping cart. The Processing Fee will automatically be added at the time of "Checkout". Due to more counties adding facilities to reserve online and the higher volume of transactions on Mycountyparks.com, the Iowa Association of County Conservation System (ICCS); which, administers the website through a web host company, is instituting this Processing Fee. The fee will go towards continuing updates and maintenance so that Mycountyparks.com will continue to meet the needs of those wishing to reserve county facilities.
