1 washer broken out of 2 in the one laundry room; 1 dryer broken out of 2 in the other laundry room. Unfortunately we had planned to do our laundry during our stay, and this made it extremely difficult and very time consuming!

Things I loved: clean, friendly helpful staff Things I didn’t love: the band that played scream rock until 1030 and rocked my camper with it’s bass. Disturbed the entire place and freaked out my dogs.

Beautiful RV Park! Love the lake and the walking trail and the pretty landscaping! Our site was an end site with the patio with pavers and a curved brick wall, which was very pretty! Loved the convenience to restaurants & shopping, and the store at the campground was very nice and staff was very friendly. My family and I will definitely stay here anytime we visit this area! A+ rating!

It was all good until Saturday at 4:00. We totally support the vets and what they doing but the music at the end of the night was awful. The language of some of the acts was offensive. We had young children with us and our site was right across from all the activity.

It was ok had some stuff stolen over night one night but rest of the stay was ok. A lot of golf carts running around and see a kid driving one and about hit a kid walking

Grounds were clean. Only downside is this is a large campground. Upon arriving its difficult to find your site. We made 2 loops around before we could find ours and we noticed many going around more than that. They need to have someone show the campers to their site like all the other KOA's I've stayed at.

Front desk staff were less than helpful the 3 times I needed information. Maintenance man indicated the air pump pressure was 130lbs. I started with 120lbs and ended at 105lbs. Their air tank has more air in it now. Bathrooms were filthy during the week but spotless Friday morning. I would stay again despite this.

Site was very un level , water hydrant leaked out of rod, there’s no reason that you can’t level your sites, I seen all campers around me with lots of blocking !!

Very nice campground. I wish all KOA's were the same as yours. Quiet, clean, beautiful grounds, superb lake, plenty of room to stretch out. A memorable campground in which next time I go through Iowa I will go out of my way to stay at your park. Thank you KOA, management, and employees for a very enjoyable stay. Keep doing what your doing. David and Cathy Huffman

The internet, and cable was down. The shower house wasn't maintained. Went to store to order food and supposedly the burgers were dropped, and out of tenderloins due to the truck not bringing any

Very nice kept place. Our site was really long (we are over 45 feet long) and the side yard was plenty of room. Very quite and relaxing. Nice to have the casino across the street as we didn’t leave negative lol.

Our stay was good ���

This place would be great for families who want to visit the water park. I’m grateful we came after the holidays so most chaos was gone.

This is the second time that we stayed at this campground. The grounds were not as neat and trimmed as compared to the first stay. The Water Park had already shut down for the season, but the KOA was still packed for Labor Day weekend. The hosts on duty we’re still cheerful and informative. I would still strongly recommend this campground to my family and friends.

Site was fine. Neighbors were friendly. Utilities worked well.

Dirty Cabin, no cable TV, no internet, needs some better customer service at the lodge.. blamed it on a storm a few weeks back and said the I.T. guy couldn't figure it out..Will definitely be looking elsewhere on future visits to the area..

Love the park. However too many people have their dogs unleashed and nothing seems to be done about it

This is a great park! Everything is very clean and well maintained. The campground also has tons for families swimming, playgrounds, etc.

The men's bathroom in the west shower house was extremely dirty the entire 3 day weekend. I don't think it was ever checked.

Very family friendly atmosphere with lots of things to do around the area especially with the theme park/water park right next door.

Loved the site, the only thing I didn't enjoy, was the mosquitos bites I received. Great view of the lake, cabins and enjoyed the site. Would definitely stay there again.
