First time here and it was a lovely spot (#66) spacious room between campers and very nice bath faciities. This site had a water spigot very close so we could fill up when backing in. The town of Pella is lovely. Will definitely return.

Unlike the restroom/shower houses at Saylorville, yours seem to lack heating in cold weather, and there was no hot water in the showers. And, really? Just a shower curtain for shower privacy? Saylorville has doors on all the showers.

WE RARELY GO ANYWHERE ELSE TO CAMP. WE JUST REALLY LIKE GOING TO PELLA HOWELL STATION. WE ARE CLOSE TO GOING TO DOWNTOWN WHICH IS SUPER GREAT. ALSO CLOSE TO GOING HOME IF WE HAVE TOO. THE PARK IS VERY CLEAN, SPACES ARE A GOOD SIZE, NOT REAL CLOSE TO OTHER CAMPERS.
