Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Camp Dodge is just north of Des Moines. They did other pictures, as well. It’s still a military base, and one needs to go through a checkpoint to enter. There was a huge swimming pool for the public there, but it’s in bad shape and closed. I can’t recall if they’re going to tear it out or renovate it. It’s considered historical I believe.
