The North Overlook campground is a well-kept, easy to access, quiet campground. The bathroom and showers are clean. Water fill and dumping convenient. The campground is close to a beach, hiking/biking trails, golf, and Pella and Knoxville for small-town exploring. We will camp here again.

Very clean campground. Restroom/shower were kept very clean. Really enjoyed the stay. The water source was only on one side, my camper fills on the other, appreciate when it is available on both sides. Great access to a walking trail inside the campground.
Will definitely reserve here again.

Campground is nice. The showers and bathrooms are very nice and clean. The noise from the highway next to the campground is bad. I prefer to camp where it’s quiet.

Deanna, the camp host, was outstanding and very hospitable.
We thank her for her kindness when we visited Pella tulip festival.

Can't believe the campground hosts skipped out and went home two days before the park closed. I needed firewood and nobody was home... no vehicles in host sight. Othewise we live approximately 80 miles west of Omaha and were on our way back home with plans to stop and visit with our olders daughter and family in West Des Moines. Love North Overlook and Howells Station. We make plans to stay when we are in the area. Some pads need extending as they are short and rough for longer Motorhomes and RV's, but the park is nestled in nice oak trees and our stay was very comforting. Love North Overlook.
