The campsite was grate, a bit sunny but the weather was beautiful. Full hookups would be nice. No issues, easy check in and out.

It was wonderful. We were told about the Senior Pass and told where we could go and get it and then we got 1/2 off our week stay.

The location is beautiful and the campground is very well kept. Spring camping is less than desirable since there is no heat in the bathrooms and there are trees that drop real sticky buds. Impossible to get off your shoes and dog.

There are nice large sites and clean bathrooms. Pella is a cute town. I recommend a windmill tour. We also enjoyed the paved bike trail that runs along the campground.
