Beautiful campground, well maintained. Clean restrooms and showers. Close to downtown Pella, IA. Must see Pella Historical Village & Vermeer Windmill Tour. Delicious Dutch Letters sold at local bakeries. Will return to this campground and visit Pella again.

Large corner spot with only one neighbor on one side. Enough space for 3 tents. Fire pit/Grate is not the best compared to other campsites. Very close access to the bathroom/showers.

Campground was a nice, mature campground with well maintained tress. The bath/showers houses were clean and nice. Camp staff (Park Rangers) were friendly and plentiful.
