Opening Day for the 2026 camping season at Des Moines West KOA Holiday is April 1. If you are searching for campground openings in Iowa or planning your first spring camping trip near Des Moines, this is the perfect time to get outside and start the season.
Spring camping in Iowa offers a quieter, more relaxed experience compared to peak summer months. Cooler temperatures, fresh air, and open space make early season camping ideal for both new and returning guests.
As the campground opens for the season, guests can expect a peaceful atmosphere with plenty of room to settle in and enjoy the surroundings. Early arrivals often appreciate the slower pace, making it easier to choose preferred sites, explore the property, and enjoy calm mornings before the busy season begins.
One of the best parts of opening season is watching the campground come to life. RVs begin arriving, campsites fill with familiar setups, and the energy of a new camping season starts to build. Whether you are pulling in for a weekend stay or planning a longer trip, opening week offers a fresh start to your camping year.
Des Moines West KOA Holiday is conveniently located near Des Moines while still offering a quiet setting just outside the city. This makes it easy to explore local attractions during the day and return to a peaceful campsite in the evening.
Guests can choose from a variety of accommodations, including full hookup RV sites, pull through and back in RV sites, tent sites, glamping tents, one room camping cabins, deluxe cabins, and RV rental units. Early season availability allows for more flexibility when selecting the site type that fits your travel style.
If you are looking for RV parks near Des Moines, cabin rentals in Adel Iowa, or tent camping options for spring, opening day is a great opportunity to secure your spot and enjoy the campground before peak travel season begins.
Reservations are now open for April and beyond. Many guests book early to take advantage of the quieter environment and to lock in their preferred dates and sites for upcoming weekends and events.
