Site was level and plenty of shade. Quick walk to the beach at the lake or the nearby bike trail. Pella is just down the road where you can find a small town with a Norwegian background, a nice historical museum, and a full size city block dedicated to historical building you can walk through. Tulip time is in the spring and there are tulips everywhere

Beautiful park, quiet during the week. It was just kind of a hike to get to the swimming beach.

Our go to campground for convenience, location and access to trails. We especially like the fall ... wish the campground was open a month longer.

The campgrounds were clean and the sites themselves were perfect. We rented two right next to each other. The bathrooms were clean and modern.
