The campground is beautiful and well maintained. The sites are close together but the views of the lake are great.
The dump and fill station is large with recycling available.
The host informed us our National Park Senior pass was good for a discount.

The facilities were superb. We were pleasantly surprised to find various activities that were available in the park, (horseshoe pits, volleyball net, basketball court.) Restrooms were clean and stocked. Campsites were spacious, level and mostly bug-free. Staff was friendly and courteous. Unfortunately, the constant parade of trains from both sides of the Mississippi River made it difficult to get a good night's rest for our travels the next day.

Great staff at check-in and additional information when the Ranger stopped to welcome us. The 14-day stay limit was waved when a medical need was applied in our case. Beautiful camp sites and with Senior Pass used very affordable.

Very nice campground. The loop we were on had spacious sites, other loops had sites that were closer together. Lots of grassy areas and trees.

I grew up camping at West Overlook and 35 years later and now almost 2 hrs away from home, it’s still my absolute favorite! It’s a wonderful campground with much to offer! Trails for biking and hiking, a beach, a lake for boating and fishing, spacious campsites, clean bathhouses…the list goes on and on! We spend many weekends camping at West Overlook every year in spite of the fact there are many campgrounds closer to home. It’s also close to Iowa City where there is lots to do as well! We highly recommend this campground for couples, retirees and/or families; there is something for everyone!

There must of been a last minute cancellation that we were able to get a beautiful sight near the water. The bathrooms were clean but with the recent mowing and heavy morning dew, alot of grass came into the bathrooms.
I was surprised to learn my cell phone had good coverage that I was able to use the hot-spot in the spot where we camped. I was able to work remotely.
