Have camped here many years because of the beach and lake access, but just discovered the trails and the natural playscape area.

The park was quiet with many mature trees and the bathrooms were older but clean. I understand the bathrooms will be rebuilt the summer of 2021. The water and septic dump station were easy to access. We were able to walk down to the waterfront and enjoy the view. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

We chose this campground because of its location to Pella. We arrived Sunday evening of the tulip festival and location is very convenient. It is a small quiet campground. Interesting area with the dam, large beach area and other campgrounds around Lake red Rock Reservoir. The campground has several interesting trails to hike including having access to the Volkswegs trail.

This is the perfect campground to attend the Pella Tulip Time festival! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Great view and will definitely be going back in the future.

Nice park, we were near the hiway but not too noisy. Bathrooms and shower were good. Very friendly hosts.

This was a great location to camp for the Tulip Time Festival in Pella. The hosts were very nice, the campground was quiet and we could see several bald eagles soaring over the dam/lake area. Bathhouses were also clean.

Super nice campground with a beautiful view! Would highly recommend.
Sad to hear it will be closed for a bathroom renovation? Don’t understand when most campers have bathroom accessibility.
