Sugar Bottom is a beautiful recreation area. Lots of shade for camping. Nice bathhouses. Beautiful beach. Lots of wildlife

It is a good central location to then take day trips to Kalona, West Branch, Coralville, Amanas, etc.

Overall it's a nice place to camp. The one thing my wife and I observe is the lack of enforcement of park rules. We were camped by the public restrooms I think the number was 34. Several times we had to chase a dog back to the camper across from us. Being the weekend there is sometimes two park rangers in the vehicle as they make their rounds. In the campsite that I just mentioned their dog was standing loose and unattended and two cars parked on the grass and it is a shame as the two rangers entered that part of our area you could see them talking to each other and no attempt to see what was going on around them. If that dog, which was about 50 pounds, kept coming on our site if it came close enough to me or my wife I would have bopped it with my cane causing more trouble than if the rangers were doing their job in the first place.

The primitive campgrounds were very accessible for people with limited/no camping experience. My friends and I had a great time while there.

We love it there but it is taking a long time to get the ones close to the water opened. Did all that work down there and for what. Need more new spots. For instance 170 - up to whatever the numbers are in the two lower roads weren't opened all last year and maybe part of the year before. Also the reservation thing. Use to be able to go early and put down a small tent to save the spot . I think the govt. Is afraid the older people that like to camp the most aren't bringing them any money in. Well you are losing alot if money but not having those lower ones opened
