The facility was immaculate, and the campsites were well spaced. We also had some relatively good fishing from the Bank. Definitely a plus. It’s one of the best parks we have camped in. If you want to get out and look at the surrounding town, it won’t be a waste of time. Pella is a great community, with a lot to offer

We enjoy camping at Howell Station. It is very relaxing and the facilities are great. There are plenty of walking/bicycle trails and also access to the reservoir for pleasure or fishing.

Noon checkout is a bit ridiculous. There’s barely enough time to clean up, let alone spend any time with the friends/family you’re camping with. Please consider extending check out to 2pm
