Beautiful area! Nice and clean. Pella is definitely worth visiting. Town square very nice. Toured the Windmill at the town square. Very interesting. Highly recommended!

One of the best government campgrounds we have stayed in. Very nicely spaced campsites. Will be back again.

The place was clean and gravel was good. The only thing negative would be the lack of grass mowing and a little more gravel at the dump station would be nice, other than that, experience was great!!!
