It was a nice cabin and the people are great.

The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. I had made a reservation more than 7 days in advance and they were not prepared for our arrival. I understand the weather was not ideal but that is no excuse for unhelpful and crabby

Me and my husband have stayed two times the first time we had to get another cabin because ours wasn’t clean and this time we got the cabin we booked but it was very dirty floors turned out white socks black and bathroom definitely not clean in a while We will return this time I will check first. On the plus side very relaxing.I have a cleaning service please contact me ASAP I have great deals

Didn’t disclose that water was shut off. When booked said full hook ups.

Even though we had reserved a night well ahead, water was shot off due to insulated water given to full timers. Also sewer pipe drain above outlet on rv 5th wheel. It was very difficult to drain tanks. Very disappointed in this location.

Office staff very friendly and helpful.

Other than being close to the highway, it's a remarkable layout. Store and reasonable fuel at the front is a big plus. We stayed on a cold, icy night. Did not use showers, etc. but nice spot to stay.

Great facility, very well kept and everyone was very friendly and helpful! We loved the camp store and that there was a gas station on site.

Very nice, clean, open campground with great pull through sites. Great location that has a lot to offer. Super big camp store. One of the best KOAs we have stayed at.

The campground is very nice and we will stay there again. But with that being said the bathrooms were not very clean. There was no soap or toilet paper in either bathroom during our entire stay. I am positive they were not cleaned once during our stay. Other than that, the campground was nice and staff was nice.

Very nice facility. Nice size sites and fuel available on grounds. Only down side was all the road work in the area. We will be back!

We have homes in Indiana and Montana and drive between the two several times each year. We always plan our trips to include a stay at Waterloo. It’s always clean, the store is well stocked and we love the convenience of the propane refill and gas station on site

From the outside, this KOA looked beautiful but...not very welcoming. Check in was a pain. The young teenage lady had no personality and it was like I was doing her a favor just showing up. Restrooms were filthy and appeared not to have been thoroughly cleaned in days. I would not go back to this KOA even if it was free. I’m amazed KOA’s like this stay in business. Worse part was check in

Staff was confused. Dirty fridge we had to clean with soap and water before we could even put food in it. Carbon Monoxide and smoke detectors were broken and had no batteries. Staff was no help. Floor was dirty. Pond had garbage in it like beach chairs and garbage cans. Went for a walk Saturday morning and had to run for the cabin because there were goose hunters on the pond. Will NEVER be back.

Site was pull thru but seemed awfully shirt for my 41 ft toy hauler

We only stayed one night right after picking up our new RV. The staff was helpful and very nice. The site was lovely and well maintained. Everything worked perfectly. I'm really glad I chose this park for our first stay in the RV and I hope we can get back there for a longer stay next season.

This location is very nice but a bit hard to get to on a really bumpy road. The only bad comment that I have is on the bathhouse which was unheated and not very clean without any towels, only blow driers. The parking spots could be a bit more level but overall they are not too bad. If I am back this way in the future I will likely stay here again.

It appeared to be a nice clean space the big disappointment was they didn't have a map of the area for things to do. Apparently they think that everyone staying there is only there for the waterpark across the street. Also the first KOA that didn't escort me to the site.

The only thing missing is trees for shade. Very clean. Very nice.

We had the perfect campsite and it was very quiet and relaxing there. The staff was very nice! We will definitely be staying again, probably next summer!

Wish the waterpark would have been opened.

Excellent!

We are a family of 4, our first time in Iowa for camping. (July 5-July10) Our site was great, the campground was clean, the beach was nice, great store - and the discounted tickets for the Waterpark was perfect. Will definitely be back.

Would just like to see a lot more large trees planted.

Didn’t go to water park, but loved campground

We found park difficult to find. Siri directed us through a new apt condo complex. Unable to cut through. Young lady answering phone at RV park needs a lesson in giving directions and more importantly in customer service. Very short answers. Talked too fast, And not helpful. Park is great, Large and clean. Laundry room was excellent. Many amenities that we didn't use. Just overnight.

I had reserved one of the deluxe camping spots more than a month prior to our stay and when we arrived we learned that the spot we had reserved was arbitrarily given to someone else who showed up the night before without a reservation. Why bother making a reservation? Disappointing!!!

Our Scout Troop stayed there after a day at the water park. The place was clean and well maintained.

This place is EXTREMELY nice if you want to just get a cabin by the water and maybe go to the water park by it. There are also tons of good places to eat in the general area of the campground and water park. I would recommend coming here for a getaway sometime.

Lost Island has such a great variety of activities for all ages to enjoy staying cool in the water outdoors. Plenty of lifeguards and regulations, and even have life jackets to borrow for free. If you go on a warm weekend or holiday, plan to go early to find a shady spot.
