We had such a good time and experience at this campground. The campground was clean, had so many pretty large trees throughout the whole campground that provided lots of shade. Some of the sites give you views to the water by the dam. The sites are large. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were great. Good water pressure and nice warm water to shower. They have access to a very nice trail where you can walk, jog, ride bikes, skateboards, walk your dogs, etc. It's close to the town of Pella and the very large and pretty Red Rock Lake. This is definitely one of our favorite campgrounds. We will be back.

Loved our time at Howell Station. Beautiful grounds, clean paths to bike or walk on and right on the river. Definitely a destination! We’ll be back.

We have camped in many spots across the country and this is one of the best. The sites are spacious with mostly shady sites. The hosts are always very friendly.

I think it’s the best campground I’ve stayed at in Iowa with excellent bike paths and the close proximity to the river as well as Red Rock lake. Staff and rangers at this campground are always friendly and helpful.
