This is a beautiful campground, lots of room, clean facilities, lake access, friendly staff. Close to Iowa City, couldn't have been better.

We had not camped at Sugar Bottom for a few years and decided to try it again. We had nice sites. Unfortunately, we had neighbors that were noisy, drinkers! At midnight they and their group were blowing airhorns, laughing loud,, and being obnoxious! I realize it was a holiday weekend and totally expected, that it would not be a 'back to nature, quiet weekend'. However, it seems that the newer generation of campers, are there to party and not for the nature experience that we older campers are accustomed to. Don't think we will be coming back for awhile. There are many other campgrounds in Iowa that we can have the experience that we enjoy. The park rangers were around during the daylight hours, but didn't appear to be on patrol after quiet hours. We left a day early.

Sugar Bottom is one of our favorite places! I wish there was a little more law enforcement around, especially on holiday weekends. Could use more play areas for kids. The ones that are there are pretty far away from some areas of the campground.

The sites looked great from the website in February when we booked them. The view of the water and the quiet of the loop was great. When we got to the site at check in the parking pad was uneven, gravel and sloped down hill. Looked like it needed to be built up and boxed up level. The fire pit was too close to the parking spot and the pit was on the edge of a drop off. Couldn't put a full ring of chairs around it, only two. Steep hill off the back of the site will all mud from recent water excavation. It rained all weekend so the water came down through our site. In my opinion the two spots 30 & 31 would benefit from leveling or paving the parking areas and moving the fire pits away from the electric jack a bit so the camper isn't so close to the fire. I will be back but I wont ever book those spots again for sure. The firewood was too young and didn't burn well. Smoked us out and cooking on it was difficult. Rough weekend for sure. Oh well. Thanks for keeping the parks nice and safe.
