Lots of great amenities. Our kids loved the pool, crafts, and jumping pillow.

Unfortunately our time at Des Moines KOA was too short. We didn’t have enough time to experience all the KOA had to offer. We did get to check out the fishing pond and jump pillow and they were awesome. We stayed in a cozy cabin which was just a single room with a bunk bed and queen size bed. AC worked fantastic all night. Hope to come back and explore more!

Staff is friendly and helpful. Very well run and managed campground, with well appointed store. The pool was so refreshing on a hot day, clean and well maintained. West Des Moines KOA is one of our favorite stops on our way south from Minnesota.

Had a great time with my littles tent camping for their 3rd night in 4 days. It was my first KOA experience and would stay again when this "genre of camping" is needed.

Only stayed one night on our trip east but the stay was exemplary as usual. Friendly check-in made us feel like family.

We had a patio site, but long term campers behind us had accumulated too much stuff all around.

I will never come back here again. Worst experience, rain causes soft mud everywhere. Horrible. The manager kicked my girlfriend and I out when she had a panic attack and the police came there while she was having a panic attack. Ambulance came as well. They said there place was a family environment and because the police came with the ambulance we were kicked out. Very very shady experience.

One of the best KOA’s I’ve ever stayed at! Staff was extremely friendly, facility was spotless, the pool was clean, and I felt very comfortable during my stay. I would stay there again!

Easy in and easy out. Friendly camp host!!! Only negative for us was that the trash receptacle was not on the way out..

Great campground. We took advantage of one of the cabins and loved it. Perfect size for 2 travelers. The pond for fishing and paddleboating was nice and they had some bikes to rent as well. The store had quite a bit for supplies and memorabilia. Theres also a laundry if needed.

In addition to the overall good vibe, we were particularly impressed with Brodie. He actually rememberred us from a year ago (might have been my Air Force hat..) and was kind enough to offer me the military discount which I had forgotten about. He also dishes out a great cup of ice cream. We have stayed with you many times and will continue to do so.

The stay is still great but was told we don’t get a picnic table because long-term don’t get picnic tables but never mind the rest of my neighbors have picnic tables so I don’t understand why I don’t get one.

This was our favorite KOA! Super clean, everyone was so kind, a bunch of different options of stay (tent, RV hookup, cabin, set up tents!). We will stay here again soon.

We came in late to the campground and left early but it looked like like a very nice KOA and would definitely stay again. Nice atmosphere, quiet. The mattress could be replaced but other than that our cabin was great.

4 day 3 nights at the deluxe cabin with my grandchildren, was a very enjoyable and memorable time. There are so much for the children to do and the staff was very friendly and helpful.This Camp is very clean and well maintained. We will for sure be back again. West Des Moines, Adel Iowa KOA, is on the top of my list for best KOA Camp. Keep up the good work!!! See you all soon…

The sites were clean, level, comfortably wide, and well maintained. The play areas were all very fun for our kids. They loved the bounce pad, basketball trampoline, pool, gaga pit, and playground equipment.

This KOA was like most, clean with nice bathrooms. We stay in the camping cabins, the elec only ones and most have parking right out front of each cabin, but Des Moines KOA layout is odd with parking in the rear of the cabin, so not right out your front door. Minor inconvenience and not much ownership can do. Curtains are too sheer and are completely see-thru at night with light on inside.

We booked the glamping tent with the understanding it would sleep 4. It was said to have a kind sized bed and two singles. It did not mention the two singles being cots. It also didn’t mention that when those cots were up, there was no way to move in the tent itself. This was not the ideal set up it advertised itself to be. In addition to the very cramped space, the musky smell was awful.

It was a great place to stay. The only complaint I have is the campsite we had was not level, but I’d stay there again.

Definitely worth the price! Lots of fun activities and the restrooms and showers are top notch. Very little tree coverage so no ticks but bring your own shade! The staff is amazing and food/supply delivery to your site is free! Lifetime lasting memories were made!
