I've stayed here in the past. It is a great campground. The staff is great. It has a 9 ft. Pool. The pizza is better than most restaurants. The store had a great sale. Only issue was unsupervised kids walking though my site. Not the campgrounds fault. Inattentive parents!!!

We stayed for two nights on our way west. The campground and people who work there are great and make you feel welcomed. The only issue was it was a bit dusty.

My dog and I enjoyed our stay. The people were extremely nice and helpful. The campground was well maintained. The pizzas and wings delivered to our RV were very good.

Very nice and large campground. We were there over the weekend and placed in a new section of the park which had us away from all the overnighters, that was super cool with a patio and grill.

We get together each Labor Day with a group of college friends. This was our first year at KOA and we were checking out our spots for next year before we left!

Very nice campgrounds, great staff, . We had a tire low, my husband went up to the store to see if they had anything to put air in, and the grounds keeper said jump in , took him up to his house got a air compressor and filled our tire. Great job , those little things mean a lot !! Keep up the great customer service!

Our family has stayed at this KOA in our travel trailer several times and we LOVE it! There are so many things to do - park, pool, jumping pad, water balloons, fishing, bikes, etc. The store is well stocked and has really great hours. During holiday weekends, they have an activity-packed schedule, with something for all ages. The sites are large and hook-ups accessible. Highly recommend!

WE STAYED A COUPLE OF DAYS, WHILE VISITING OUR DAUGHTER IN ANKENY, SINCE WE LEFT THE CAMPGROUND AFTER BREAKFAST AND RETURNED IN THE EVENING AFTER DINNER; CAN NOT COMMENT ON THE CAMPGROUND, FACILITIES AND ACTIVITIES. BUT THERE SEEMED TO BE A LOT OF ACTIVITIES FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN; WE LEFT WITH A VERY POSITIVE ATTITUDE RE CAMPGROUND.

Need to dust control the roads. Entirely to dusty and dirty for the price we pay to camp there. Hard to visit with friends and family when you are basically living on a gravel road.

Great place for kids. Friendly staff and prompt service. We will be back!

Getting too big and trying to be too much for too many people. No control over people (adults and kids) walking through campsites. Live music is fine but when it goes late/long (after stated times) it’s just annoying. We’ve always liked DesMoines West (previously rated 10 with 5 stars) but not sure we’ll be back anytime soon.

Really appreciate the management. Michael and Danielle are great hosts and ensure a great customer experience. Lots of options for kids to stay busy!

Everything was clean and kid orientated. The pool and jump pillow were one way to cool off. The kids did tie-dyeing, made a buddy, fished and enjoyed the playground. The only thing that would make it better would be later hours on the pool. Thanks for the great stay

Easy check in, front desk people were very nice and explained everything to us. Lots of activities to keep everyone entertained. Only complaint is, all campsites and roads are gravel so get lots of dust. Would be nice if they would water down the roads every once in awhile to calm the dust down.

Great service and beautiful site. We loved the gas grill and furniture at site #129. There were many nice spots to walk your dog and we liked that the dog park had two sides for large and small dogs. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed 2 nights. We plan to stay here again but will never take a buddy site again. We shared sites with a woman and three very young children. The kids were outside our RV yelling, screaming, making a lot of noise with toys at 6:50 A.M. Why on earth KOA ends quiet time at 7 instead of 8 is beyond me. I know it's not just at the Des Moines KOA. I think most prefer a later time.

the jumping pillow was a big hit with our grandchildren

Excellent staff! Clean grounds and restrooms.

Very nice facility and very helpful staff. One of the ground workers saw that we had bicycles with us and went out of his way to come tell us about the different bike trails in the area and how to get to them. We plan to go back and spend some more time on the trails. The KOA also has a pizzeria on site that was good and delivered to our campsite.

The site was easily accessible, but we showed up for after hours check and they didn't have us on the list because we booked online. Glad they answered the phone after hours and were able to confirm the early afternoon online booking and get us a site.

We enjoyed our stay at the one room cabins, very clean. When booking the reservation, the lady on the phone was super helpful in getting us booked and making sure we knew where we would be going for our late check in. Bathrooms and showers were very clean! Thanks for a great stay!
