Campground Reviews

We only stayed one night but were impressed with how nice it was! It was so bright and tropical! We had an issue with no power at our site. We were given the option and moved to a new site very quickly. It was nice to have it taken care of immediately. It was early in the season and I’d love to see what it’s like when everything around there is open.

Beautiful spaces and convenience store/menu as well as their own gas station. Lovely!

Extremely rude and argumentative girl with dark hair at the counter. Purchased ice cream for my son and opened it while walking out of the store, the ice cream was a large previously melted and re- frozen large gooey clump. Walked right back in and showed the ice cream to this girl in which she began to argue that it wasn't bad because it is wasn't expired yet. She refused to exchange or refund

The price $70 a night we had pets we were charged an additional $10’s. The excuse was, it was due to prior peoples mistakes so we have to pay for it. (Exact words) The lot was semi level. We were way in the back they don’t keep up lawn care. Looks abandoned. The Wi-Fi did not work. We stayed 12 hrs it still is not a place I would visit again. The dog park grass overgrown. Water pressure low.

Our site was extremely unlevel. The dog park was quite a ways away, the girl at the desk said it looks further in the map than what it is, it was far. I walked the park a couple times and there were level spaces we could have been put in. All in all, we like KOA’s. We don’t believe in locking a site for one night so not sure we would stay again.

Nice site, easy access in and out.

Convenient. The only "problem" was getting there with the road construction, except to say that the detour signs were done very well; we just missed turning at the very first one right after dinner...following the instructions on the website...THANK YOU!!

We expected hot water at what we thought was an upscale camping experience.

Very clean, quiet, well laid out & enjoyable KOA! The little lake is gorgeous, we wished the weather would have been warmer so we could jump in!

Awesome location. Huge sites. Friendly staff. Restrooms need soap and a way to dry your hands especially in today’s world.

Cindo de Mayo weekend with activities! My 6 year-old twins loved it!

Great location and Huge Park. We liked the Paw pen was sectioned off into 2 separate sections. Highly recommended.

Nice and clean. However bathrooms and trash bins are VERY far away from site 1. Too far to walk if unable.

We were glad to get in one last stay this Fall. The weather was great and the campground very peaceful. The water was shut off, but we were glad to find a place to set up one last time.

Water was turned off for the season we did not know that in advance . The internet would not work. Most expensive park on our entire trip definitely not worth it. We stayed exclusively at koa campgrounds our last trip out west, loved all of them but this was a disappointment.

We were camping in late October in Iowa. We reserved a W/E/S site, but unfortunately the campground turned off water the week before due to the low temperatures. It would have been nice if someone called or sent an email indicating that there was no water so we could have filled up at home. The campground did have a water spigot to use by the main store which was nice, but still unexpected.

Just an overnight stop hope to stay longer next year

Cabin was clean and comfortable

Reservations were made in advance for one night. Was not told that the water would be turned off. Had to change reservations due to unexpected delay. While no problem changing, we were upgraded to a patio site due to "no other site available' for an add on of $22. When we got there we found that there were many other sites available. Also surprised that the summer rates were still in effect.

Although we only stayed one night and the water was shut off because of the cold, this looks to be an awesome, warm weather, park. Level spots, friendly staff, and near all of the Waterloo attractions (Lost Island, Deere, etc.). Good job and we hope to be back soon - in warmer weather :-).

I have been staying in the same cabin for the past 3-4 years, once a year. We check in for our 2 day stay and we noticed over the course of our stay: bathroom sink clogged, no wifi of working tvs, no batteries in smoke detector or CO2 detector, fire extinguisher has been used, ceiling fan and lights not working in living room. We got a $50 refund but will never be returning unfortunately

Had a very nice stay at the KOA this summer was disappointing in the lake not being able to kayak and fish more hopefully it will get resolved for next summer
Oct 18, 2022
We were not informed during the reservation process that the water was turned off to the park, only at check in when it was stated we couldn't cancel our reservation for a refund/credit because it was too late and too bad for this inconvenience. No compensation was offered or given for this issue.
Oct 18, 2022
This was one of the best KOA’s I’ve been to!
Oct 17, 2022
We have stayed several years in a row and the price has gone up but nothing new to improve the campgrounds has happened.

Always clean great staff
Oct 15, 2022
The place is a dump, junk all over. Would never recommend or stay there again
Oct 15, 2022
Very nice campground would like to come back when the water park is open
Oct 15, 2022
One of the nicest and roomiest RV parks we have ever visited. Diesel fuel and gas on-site is a real bonus and it was fairly priced. Overnight prices very fair as well. Long list of amenities and conveniences. Waterloo is a great town as well. Good job!

We stayed at site 74 the koa was full. I was impressed with the campgrounds the store also has a gas station . Very friendly people. Kid friendly dog friendly. Sites are nice we had a pull through full hookups. It was quiet even with it being full. Small lake down the street is a water park and casino 🎰. Definitely would stay again.

Everything there is like a paradise, a small beach, swimming area, lake, and Lost Island waterpark it's like a day of fun and relaxation
