Rented the camping cabin. It was a very cold weekend. The heater worked but had a hard time getting the cabin warm. It was ok, because I had my zero degree sleeping bags. The TV was great, not something that is in all cabins. Shower/bathroom was warm and was nice. Check in was easy and I received a text with all the instructions that were needed. Called the staff and picked up right away.

Everything was clean and great, but our mattresses in the cabins have reached their end of life and definitely need to be replaced. Other than that, exceptional.

2nd weekend in a row but an issue; spoken with Markus about parking our uhaul and car trailer in an empty slot (he said to use 26 and made a note on the reservation 10/17) by our cabin Friday evening. When check in we were told no, no note & if parked there charged despite the grounds being only a 1/3 full. Blocked dumpsters & cars in overflow as told and was offsite by 8:30 AM.

Cabin was very clean and well stocked and situated for our family. The office staff were very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely stay again!

Super clean & well maintained camp ground. The Deluxe Kabin was perfect. I’m hoping to stay 2-nights on my return drive to my work camping KOA in NH in April. Thanks for the short but great stay.

Staff is great and the place super clean and friendly! Friday night was so much fun with all the campers checked in and the parties going on!

So many fun activities for kids, and so many were free! Everyone had a great time! Cabins were nice and offered more items I didn’t realize they had, like soaps and trash bags.

It was great we love it there and we will be back next year for a longer stay! Thank you your place is wonderful!!!!!!

For the most part, we enjoyed the activities and staff at the Des Moines West KOA, especially during the halloween season. With that said, it would be nice if the dust from the roads could be better controlled as everything gets a coat of dust after the weekend stay. For the cabin we stayed in, the entire outside area and porch has a coat of dust, and the interior had many bugs and cobwebs.

Our cabin had so many ladybugs climbing the walls , flys, wasps. It was just me and my 3 kids and they refused to sleep in there with all the bugs. We did not even use the cabin and packed up and stayed in my friends camper with them. Very disappointed

Another fabulous Halloween Spooktacular weekend! So much to do, crafts, excellent pizza and wings, yummy ice cream, shopping and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful time. I look forward to this weekend with my Grandkids every year and have for about 10 years. It's a great place to stay year round.

We had a lot of fun there was activities for the kids as well adults to do. All the staff was friendly. I can see us going back and staying there again.

The staff were very helpful and pleasant. We stayed in the same cabins we have stayed in previously and liked the shared patios, so we can all enjoy our outdoor time together. The kids really liked the trikes. They looked forward to those. They also liked the jumping pillow. We will definitely come back.

The stay was good and the only complaint I have is the shower head and handle needs replaced. The staff is very friendly and polite. They make your visit relaxed. Great place to stay.

Stayed in a cabin and was very pleased. They are very nice and comfortable. This was our 3rd stay at this KOA and we will stay again if our travels bring us back through the area.

Friendly and efficient staff, lots of choices in the camp store, and clean and beautiful cabin. The flowers and bushes are beautiful and well kept.

We love DSM West KOA! The staff are amazing and are super engaged with campers. My kids loved the activities and we love the cabins and accommodations! This is our go to kampground!

They gave me the wrong map and I tried to open someone else's cabin at midnight and I'm they didn't hear, I finally found mine. The curtains were so see through I had to put blankets up also the cable didn't work and I wanted to fall asleep to tv but I was too tired to deal with it. Probably wouldn't stay here again without I love KOAs. Also a bathroom was too far away from the cabins.

This KOA is an amazing place to stay. Every year we come they are beyond friendly & make every bit of the stay enjoyable. This year they even went above & beyond for us & it made my nephews entire weekend! Thank you from all of us Madsen’s/Thompson’s & we will see ya next year! �

The cabins are very small. Having garbage cans throughout the park would be nice. Long ways to walk to put in dumpster. The chairs in the cabin to go with table were too big. With the small cabin the chairs need to be able to fit under the table. The outside table was not a good choice when having young kids. Regular picnic table outside would be better. Workers were very friendly

Great place to stay. Lots of activities for grandkids.

We love staying here!! Always a good stay. This time our glamping tent smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. It was unfortunate but we dealt with it as we could. The air conditioning unit needed cleaned terribly bad. All else was good. Bathrooms are usually clean and pool is usually clean we feel safe there too!

The amenities and the staff are very nice. We stayed in a cabin. There could’ve been some more “deep cleaning” as there were cob webs that were easily removed. The major issues was no hot water. The cabin sleeps 6 and within 2 mins there was no hot water.

It was awesome. Our family had a great time. Lots to do, everything was very clean and nice. My grandkids as well as my adult children and their spouses really enjoyed it and want to come back next summer.
Aug 14, 2024
too dusty, and our puzzle got put away while we broke for lunch. Otherwise a wonderful weekend. Note: cabin 11 fan in bedroom only had one speed, sloooow. Saturday's evening band was great but singer, had a flat tone. was kind of painful to listen too.

Loved the dog park. Personnel were very friendly and helpful.
Aug 13, 2024
The nicest KOA I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend. They really know what they’re doing there.

I had a great time renting out the campers on-site, it was a great area to be in!

In the winter it was cold, but traveling with dogs thisnis much more convenient than a hotel.

We have stayed here many times and love this place. The green grass, large sites with patios and beautiful pond are always welcome after a long days drive. Another bonus is my husband always orders pizza so I don't have to cook.

We stayed here overnight while traveling across Nebraska. The campground is located about 1.5 miles north of I-80, so most of the road noise you get comes from the road in front of the campground rather than the interstate. Note that you will drive past the southern section of sites to get to the entrance, but don't make the right turn until you come to the KOA sign that marks the location of the office (you'll also see the propane refill tank on the corner). The office door is on the east side of the building, and if you arrive after hours, the overnight reservation box is located just inside the door of the laundry room (rather than being mounted on the exterior of the building). With the exception of a few back-in sites in the southern section, all of the sites are pull-throughs, and every site (back-in and pull-through) has full hookups with gravel pads and grass lawns. The middle row of sites in the northern section are buddy sites with a single extra-wide pad and a set of hookups in the middle of a pad. All non-patio sites have a picnic table, while deluxe patio sites have a concrete patio with two round tables, a fire pit, a grill, and several adirondack chairs. We were in site 62, a regular pull-through site with a pad that was almost as wide as a buddy site and was more than long enough for our 37-foot fifth-wheel and 21-foot truck. The site had no shade tree (most sites do not) but was very level side-to-side. The campground has the usual KOA amenities: a convenience/souvenir store, bathrooms, a laundry room, a pool, a large playground, a jump pad, a mini-golf course, and some lawn games. It also has a Hunt Brothers pizza kitchen, pedal go-carts, a regular basketball hoop, an enclosed play area for some sort of basketball-based game, a "water war" game of some kind, and a stocked fishing lake with two paddle boats. The large dog park is located in the grassy valley between the north and south sections of the park. It's divided into two sections that share a single airlock-style entrance. There is plenty of grass in that valley to walk your dog if both halves of the dog park are occupied, and there's also a walking trail along the fishing lake. In terms of cell service, the best speed I saw on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna was 25 Mbps down and 24 up, and we had no trouble streaming video. The best speed I saw on my AT&T smartphone with 5G was 302 Mbps down and 20 up.
