Facility was great. Phone signals were terrible. We had three different carriers and none of them worked well. When you are trying to work it’s tough.

This is a beautiful campground with large campsites. It's quiet and such a great setting beside the river. The walking paths are so good and great for bike riding. You need to make a visit into Pella while there. The Tower is awesome too that's on the north side of lake towards the mile long bridge.
