Beautiful campground, the bugs were terrible and for two yrs in a row, chiggers!!!! It would be nice if they could spray some kind of bug deterent to help keep them under control, do not have that problem at other campgrounds!

Very Clean and quiet Campground, The campground hosts were very helpful and cheerful, the amount of trees really is nice for shade in the summer heat, would definitely recommend

The Rangers and volunteer staff are awesome. Bogies Steak house and the Mexican Affair are excellent places to eat.

We never did see a camp host. We were never checked in or provided a pass for the boat ramp. It would be much better if the grass between campsite and the lake was maintained. We didn't use the facilities so we can't tell you their condition of them. We will not revisit Bridgeview camp ground due to our experience.

Every visit to this campground is wonderful. Awesome camp hosts. Beautiful scenary. Quiet and dark (which is great for any nighttime photography). I hate to tell my friends about this campground as I don't want to make it harder to get a campsite. Probably one of the best kept secrets in Iowa.

Was by water and scenery was just great. Nice camp host and was great to visit with all. Just all in all it was a great place to visit and camp at. It is close to our home so we can keep eye on home yet enjoy our camping seasons. Only thing I didn't like is they put some speed bumps in that are entirely way too high up and hurts my back as I go over them. That is the only thing about this I didn't like. Many stated this. One could of put speed bumps in but didn't need to make them as high as they are.

We had a great experience at Bridgeview until we discovered that someone had stolen our homemade step that we use for our dog and special needs daughter to get in and out of our pickup.

The dock/fish cleaning station at Bridgeview boat landing needs upgraded. Over the last 2 season it has caused great damage to many boats. It is dangerous and very hard to tie up to.

At a minimum the dock needs a non abrasive protective surface put around the dock in the mooring areas and with more easily accessible tie offs
