Clean restrooms, great views, a little disappointed the rest of campground wasn't open, but that would put a strain on the smaller bathrooms per area...

It was a great campground. The campground is well kept with very nice level camp sites. We had a beautiful camp site overlooking the lake.

Camp sites in our loop were a bit tight but lots of trees and clean. Going back this September.

Beautiful campground very near to Iowa City and the University of Iowa. Most campsites are electric only. Campsites 1 - 18 and 34 - 38 are mostly shaded, while the others offer mush less tree cover. Site 38 offered a slightly sloped gravel pad but we had no problems leveling our 25' rig. longer rigs may have more difficulty attaining level on this site. During our stay they were upgrading some of the campsites in the area of site #76 to concrete pads so that will be a nice upgrade if they eventually do all of the campsites in the campground. Campground offers modern restrooms with flush toilets and showers with hot water. For those who need to stay connected; ATT is king here offering 79 Mbps down but only 0.5 Mbps up. Verizon was a poor second at 2.8 Mbps down and 0.07 Mbps up. During the day, Verizon was mostly unusable. Thanks to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Recreation.gov for making it SO EASY to plan and reserve a top-notch camping experience at West Overlook Campground! β€

We like the surrounding and the environment. Good spacing between camp sites. Do not feel cramped in. Area is very inviting. We are not boaters but can verify facilities to launch water craft is easily accessible. This area is one of our favorites. Parks are kept nice and inviting.
