A real gem with super friendly staff, lots of kid-friendly activities, and a well-maintained pool—highly recommend!

Charming and comfortable.

The accommodations were very nice and campground was well maintained. However, after traveling all day with children, it was disappointing to arrive at 6:30 and have everything (pool, activities, food orders, etc) close at 7:30 pm, especially on summer evening.

We had a family reunion there and everyone had a good time as there is so much to do at the KOA.

We stayed in a deluxe cabin. It was clean and quiet. The view of the pond was amazing. The entire setting was peaceful. We ordered a delicious pizza from the camp store. Kenda, Lydia, Kyle, Carrie, Michelle, and the entire staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We are definitely staying here again.

Overall we had a great time in the rental camper. We enjoyed fishing, swimming, mini golf and a few other activities. It was great to have so many fun things to do. Our only complaint was that the camper was definitely different and smaller than what is pictured on the website and the description said that it had a coffee maker and to bring your own coffee, but didn't specify that it was a Keurig.

Everyone was so friendly and the cabin was extremely clean. The campground was beautifully maintained. I will definitely be back!

Loved the location: peaceful and very family-friendly environment with outstanding activities for all ages! I will definitely stay here again when in the area visiting my granddaughter and great-grandson.

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!

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

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.

Nice clean cabin, sitting next to a pond with a great view off the deck

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…

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.

The campground was so easy to check in and check out. They were so convenient for a last minute stay. There were tons of amenity’s and the area is huge and not over crowded and was so quite and peaceful definitely will be my go to spot when I’m in the area again!

Probably the best KOA we've stayed at!! Food, store, pond, nice cabins, things for kids and the pool. We've traveled all over the U.S. and this place is one of our favorites!

This campground was great! We rented a cabin with loft which fit us all perfectly!!!! Plenty of activities for the kids!!!! If we’re back in the area we’d stay here again!!!!!
Apr 13, 2026
Only issue we had was the fridge/freezer didn’t work. We let the checkout guy know. Not a big deal since we didn’t have a bunch of food but just so it gets fixed for the next campers. Cabin was clean and perfect for what we needed. Will for sure stay there again. Thank you!

We had trouble with our camper on the way to Des Moines so ended up staying in a cabin. We were unaware that we needed sheets, blankets, towels, etc. but the manager at the campground graciously found these items for us. The cabin was clean and neat and had what we needed. There was a lot to enjoy there but the weather was too cold and windy.

The cabin is perfect! Such a great place!
