Meet Your Hosts

Close
After living in my RV for a couple of years while traveling in the magazine business, it became apparent to me that being around folks out enjoying themselves on vacation or living in their motorhomes was something I really enjoyed. After researching the idea of owning a campground for approximately 2 years, we chose Des Moines West KOA as our first campground adventure. We hope you find our park everything and more than you expected!

As new owners, we will continue to bring new and exciting opportunities, amenities, and experiences for all you in the upcoming years. And, especially, we look forward to meeting all the new faces and cultivating better friendships with those we meet each year.
