The person at the toll booth was so helpful and friendly. The parks and facilities are always clean and well kept. We drove over the top of the earthen dam and visited the fossil gorge.

We’re from Oregon and had no idea what to expect in Iowa. This is a beautiful campground and we had a spot right on the lake for $28. Which is practically free compared to what we usually pay. We hit the dump station on the way out and it was super easy and had recycling for cans and plastic bottles. Also super close to west branch and the Hoover museum, which we enjoyed visiting.

Great campground. Sites are good size with both sunny and shaded sites. We had site W37 which was great. Site was in an area up on a hill with just 4 other sites. We were overlooking a hill with a small view of the water. Highly recommend this place.

Our spot was nice and shaded. Not all sites have water and you need to get water at the station before trying to get into your site. No where does it tell you where the water is, it's at the dump station. This should be stated up front so you know to get it before. The new road the put it in for one of the loops could have been done better. Our site was harder to back in to with a 40 fifth wheel but I got it done. If the road had been made wider or they had taken out some of the hill in front of the site it would make things easier. If I go back again I have a different plan for getting into that site.

We had a great time camping here. The sites are good sized and we were able to gather our group together without an issue. Only downside is that the electrical is 30 amp and with it being so hot, we had to watch our use when we were using AC. It worked out, but it is something to be aware of.
