Eveland Access Cabins

The Mahaska County Conservation Board's cabins are adjacent to the Eveland Access campgrounds located at 1681 - 290th Street, Oskaloosa, Iowa 52577. The two bedroom cabins offer a home away from home for those that do not enjoy "roughing it" at the campgrounds. Being located near the Des Moines River offers the opportunity to fish and boat (boat access located below the cabins). Hunting is accessible at several neighboring MCCB public areas however, hunting is NOT allowed at the Eveland Access area (which includes the campgrounds and the cabins). Nearby is Bluff Creek ATV Park which offers off-road ATV trails; however, off-roading and/or operating an ATV is NOT allowed on the Eveland Access area.

The responsibility agreement must be signed for all stays.
