Reserved based on beautiful photos found the campsite was no where near the same. Dirtiest campsite I have ever been on, lake was more of a mosquito haven. Filled dogs water dish and found a lot of rust i the bottom of dish. Couldn’t get out fast enough.

There was no one there to pump propane even though there is no requirement in Iowa for any formalized training or license to pump it...ended up going to a good Sam campground on my way out of town to get propane. I also did not get an email receipt..

Our second stay -- both very good, in spite of cloudy, cool weather. This time we appreciated the check-in process and being led to a less muddy site (on the lake) by the gal who guided us. (Neither site was very muddy.) Very thoughtful.

It was a very nice stay. The people were so accommodating and the Hawaiian pizza was great. Would stay again.

Enjoyed the rest time. Watched travelers come in and leave. Good place to stop along the road and recoop. We've been traveling from wintering in Texas, now heading out to enjoy our beautiful countryside. Koas are a good resting stop. With friendly people. This one is one of the better ones.

Restroom dirty, cobwebs in corners of bathroom and in the showers also. Very run down, needs to be updated. Wouldn't recommend going here.

The manager Cody was spectacular and attentive. Impressive for a teenager.

Not fair to rate this KOA based on our overnight stay. It was freezing with snow flurries; it was during off season.

Exceptional staff, led us to our site, made sure we had everything we needed. They had a great attitude.

We love staying at the KOA in Onawa for the 6 months from April to October and this year was real good. The holidays they try to have something special for our grandkids who visit. They had a petting zoo a couple times that let the kids feed their animals. They had a kiddie parade and later a foam machine for the ��ids. They have completed their new playground which the kids �.

I had enough points to receive 10.00 off my price. But I was told staying only one night I wasn't allowed to use my points. This KOA had very little grass very dusty. It was windy during our stay, so much dust. The lake was hard to see as this place was packed. Looked like some trailers were there for the long haul and in poor condition. Probably will look elsewhere if I am in the area again

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

No all summer rain equals dust, dredging the lake equals low lake, you could have picked a site with a lake view but you picked the least expensive site for your overnight stay.

Our stay was great. It gave us a chance to relax and enjoy time with our son and friends before coming home. Facilities were resplendent in fall colors and early morning/late day walks were thoroughly enjoyed! Well done!

We loved our stay at this campground! It is a quiet, peaceful and quaint little place in Iowa, Staff was friendly and accommodating to our wants, requests and needs. Pool was refreshing and clean as well as bathrooms and laundry. This place sits on a nice lake with all water sports accessible. Close proximity to larger metropolis if you cant find something in the kampstore or store in town.

we have stayed at the Onawa/blue Lake KOA several times and everytime has been fantastic. The Kampground is always clean and well kept. The employees are always professional, Knowledgeable and polite. My family always feel at home there and are treated with respect. We love to camp there and will return as often as we can.

Beautiful setting by lake. Friendly staff. Very cold weather that was unexpected so would have been nice to have warmer bathroom temp but understand due to costs. Would stay again if in area. Very quiet and restful.

Upon arrival the office looked like a grenade went off. A complete mess. The grounds keeper decided to mow all of the leaves and dirt stirring up dust and stones which struck parked trailers. No respect for peoples trailers.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Pretty funny since the entire unit is enclosed. Office was closed for the season and in remodel state I guess we should have turned you away for not having made a reservation prior to arrival instead of allowing you in the office or campground.

Our 1st time here. Just an overnight on our trip east. 98% of the CG is seasonal. Only 1 row of travelers. Fortunately almost none of the seasonals were occupied otherwise the camp would have been extremely packed. Not sure why KOA allows such a large portion of sites to be seasonal. It makes travelers feel like intruders in an established community.

We stayed 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The staff was helpful and friendly. The facilities were clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back!

Good, handy off of the highway

Very quiet location this time of year since it was one week before their winter closure. Would have given more stars if the woman’s bathroom didn’t have all kinds of spider webs and cobwebs around the the windows and light fixtures. Creepy crawlers Greek some people out…

I loved how quiet it was, I will definitely be back. It's also very clean and kept up well.

This was a picture perfect camp ground, with mature trees and a pull through overlooking the lake. Loved the quietness of the camp, and the sound of frogs and fish jumping. Don't misplace the paper they give you at check in if you want to use the rest rooms or shower after the pool, because the facilities are locked.

Third stay here and has always been great. Check in was a breeze. Young adults at check in had all the right answers and were very helpful. The pool is well kept. We were able to purchase propane. We didn't have kids with us but noticed how nice the playground area was. Laundry was clean and worked fine. Nice fire pits. Easy access off the interstate. Close to carwash and 2 gas stations. Look forward to staying here again as we drive back to Canada after snowbirding in Florida.
