Spencer, IA (KICD)– Some of the initial plans are starting to come together for what could be a new city campground in Spencer not overly far from where it sits.

Parks and Recreation Director Bob Fullhart tells KICD News River View Park south of the Aquatic Center is being looked at as a big upgrade to the offerings available now next to East Leach Park.

Some of the newer concept drawings for the possible site between the old school house and tennis court area could potentially hold as many 38 campers at a time along with some tent camping which Fullhart says is far more than is available at the current site because of spacing issues for newer units.

This project is not something that will be able to happen over night. In fact we could be at least a couple of years out from seeing any major work on the area especially if elected officials ultimately decide to pair the campground, proposed splash pad, needed upgrades to the Aquatic Center and even some additional facilities into one funding ask of the tax payers.
