About this swimming hole
Gull Point is the Iowa Great Lakes' classic family basecamp, with one of the region's largest campgrounds and a swimming beach on the east shore of West Lake Okoboji. A self-guided interpretive trail winds through the park's oak woodlands, and the playground, modern restrooms, and showers keep non-swimmers happy. It is the easy all-in-one choice when you want a beach, a campsite, and trail time without leaving the lakes.
