54-unit RV park planned along Highway 34 near ammunition plant

Published on Mar. 9, 2026

The West Burlington City Council has approved the final plat for a new 54-unit RV park development along Highway 34. The project, known as the Cousin Eddie's Subdivision, will be built on land between the Phillips 66 Truck Stop and the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant and is expected to cater to workers drawn to the area by upcoming construction activity at the ammunition plant.

Why it matters

The new RV park development is seen as a way to accommodate the influx of workers expected in the area due to construction activity at the nearby Iowa Army Ammunition Plant. The park will provide housing options and amenities for these transient workers.

The details

The planned RV park will initially accommodate up to 54 recreational vehicles, with each space including 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer hookups. The park will be built on land previously used for farming and is being developed by Reif Oil Company.
