My plans changed unexpectedly and I called to ask for a refund but the woman hid behind the reservation wordage about a 48 hour cancellation policy. Wouldn’t consider a refund. So..we didn’t stay and you have my money and you were successful in creating a potential customer that will think twice before booking with you again.

One the most beautiful stops we’ve had. We were able to get a nice secluded location in the trees for our van that was still by a shower and wash station. Fun shop with just about everything you forget to nab for your trip.

We arrived 5 minutes after the office closed even though there were staff present. They showed little interest in assisting a late check-in and we had to ask a lot of questions to finally get a site. We spoke with the new manager that was to start the next day about our experience. Hopefully it improves from now on.

Des Moines West KOA is the gold standard of all KOAs! Amazing and clean facilities, beautifully groomed and landscaped all tucked into a beautiful Iowa setting. Staff was outstanding and helpful and even scored us to our spot! Hope to visit again soon!

This was an excellent KOA. We had to drive a long way and it was great to get to Des Moines. The restrooms were very clean. The had a lot of things were the kids to do. There was basketball, swimming, a train to ride on, and several other games for the kids to play on. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this campsite if you have kids.

Our stay was nice, except for a couple issues. The biggest one is that the she shower in our cabin was non operational. Thete was a tub and shower head, but no way we could see to het it to work. We weren't told about this before hand. Second, it would have been nice to know that there was a new mini golf available. We would have enjoyed that.

An awesome KOA. We had a late check-in which they easily accommodated. They even upgraded our cabin which we appreciated. The campground is clean. The studio cabin spotless. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for an awesome stay :)

Excellent koa close to the highway! We booked a “pull through with extra space” and found it to be very roomy and level. The laundry and restrooms were clean, the pizza looked good (and they deliver). My kids took advantage of the jumping pillow, water wars, basketball, trampoline basketball and were able to ride their bikes freely. We really enjoyed it for an overnight as we pass through Iowa. It's a good one for families for sure!!

Excellent staff and campground. Also had to use the storm shelter as a tornado went through nearby - shelter was a real bonus!!

Was here just overnite and in time for a tornado touchdown just 36 miles away. They had an underground storm shelter that housed about 75 people and 30 dogs. Felt safe and am so glad we stayed here. Definetly gonna stay again on our way back home.
