Good, clean camoground. Showers/toilets were amazing! Volunteers of course doing all the work including cleaning. Access to the trails and beach was a great plus.
4 stars because the road noise is pretty bad, it's a county road but it's the major route between Pella and Knoxville. Also the dump station is in the road in the main part of the campground, causes lot's of traffic troubles at certain times.
Verizon service ranged from good to useless, depending on where you were located. #8 cell service was terrible.

Stayed on a weekend night (holiday weekend) in June. The area is lovely and well shaded, sites are pretty close together. All in all we liked the place and would return.

The staff was top notch and responded quickly and politely when there were people having a picnic in our site when we arrived. The paths are plentiful with excellent views. The campground was full but quiet. The shower/bathroom combination was a real treat and in excellent condition!

We enjoy North Overlook for camping. Great campground hosts and workers. We had our granddaughter with us and was a bit concerned about the very large ant hills around area of 43,45
