I would say location is nice, because it puts you in proximity to a lot of things. Campground amenities for the price, is not reasonable at least when I came a few weeks ago. I understand that the pool would not been filled yet, however, still for the price I was a little letdown. The person in the check-in office was nice, respectful, courteous, and prompt. I also did not like that. They charged five dollars a day for a firing that you have to take to your campsite yourself. Being in the middle of a city, it was still pretty quiet for the most part. However, some other long-term campers put large items near the trash cans, which made it look a little gross. The shower house and restrooms were not clean, barely operational. However, they did have constant hot water, which was nice. I gave it a three stars simply because of the location and the person working at the check-in office. The signage could be better and the upkeep and maintenance definitely needs to be improved.

While it is somewhat hard to find the entrance if you don't know what to look for, it's in a great location! We've had pull through sites and have enjoyed the ease and size of our sites. Water, power and sewer all worked great. T-Mobile internet is stellar. If you are able to stay a week or month the prices are much more affordable than the nightly rates.

Adventureland campground is the perfect location for family vacations. Campground with a pool, dog park and best of all it's strategically located, near restaurants, shopping etc . Next door (walking distance) from Adventureland park and water park. Definitely worth a look.

Great place for camping. Honestly, I felt great staying here, for the Iowa State Fair. People were nice and courteous, staff and fellow campers alike. Bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities were operational.

Stayed during a recent road trip. Staff are rude and grounds are poorly kept. There are far better, cheaper spots.
