Other KOA’s notified us that there was a detour to the campground. Although there were great signs about the detour, a heads up email would have been helpful. We ordered food and it was very good. We bought fresh corn but was disappointed because it was old corn.

The Waterloo/Lost Island KOA is one of best we have experienced. We were there on a busy weekend, but everyone was courteous and friendly. There is a nice little lake with a sandy beach. There are cute cabins painted in pastel colors. It is located near the waterpark and the casino. We did have to pay in full when we made our reservation.

As a family we have stayed at many KOAs. From journeys to holidays to resorts. This was not a resort. It didn't have any amenities besides being next door to the lost island business. The lake was disgusting, murky muddy, algae-filled. Lastly the spots were terrible. When the sewer hook-up is located up a hill from your RV, the rv will not drain. Physics.

We ordered a pizza to be made. There were only two people working so we had to go get the pizza when theycalled us which was not a big deal But when we cut into the food, it wasn't done !! The crust was still doughy !! Horrible !!

Our only complaint is that the roads are very difficult to navigate. We opted not to have a person lead us to the site, but after finding it (and going around the park twice) we should have had someone lead us. We did see many other RVs come in after us also do a 2nd loop to get to their sites. We also noticed people going up Do Not Enter roads. Otherwise, the Park was nice and spacious.

Great place to camp. Very clean. Large sites. We did not go to the water park.

Always enjoy our stay at Waterloo KOA. so close to food, gas, theaters, etc., and a great park.

Very nice campground…clean and staff friendly. Only thing keeping this from being a 5 star is the lake. Would be much better if the swim area was cleaner/no algae on the beach and in the water. This was our second stay at this campground and would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay. Everyone was very friendly and the sites were very clean and well maintained.

Very quiet and spacious sites.

Site was very unlevel; van was tilted. There were many open sites in the park, yet they placed me, a single 58 year old, right in front of the kids' playground! It was noisy and busy for most of the evening, with kids running everywhere, screaming, disturbing my dogs, etc. The area my site was in is truly meant for kids to enjoy, but not for someone like me. I was too tired to request a move.

The lake is gross. Moss dyed blue is still moss. I’m sure some might enjoy it but it wasn’t for us. The play area compared to other KOAs is minimal if you have kids.

Overnight on the way home. Site level. Very clean. Was quiet at night

We stayed here when the park first opened and liked it then but now that the park is established we see how much fun it is! There's plenty for the kids and adults to do here. Clean level sites made setting up easy. We will definitely come here again!

It was a one night stay but it was very nice.

Second trip here! Loved the swim area & fishing was great. However, the sandy beach had lots of grass & weeds @ the waters edge & the island was totally overgrown compared to the website pictures. Bathrooms were OK however the showers were not thoroughly cleaned. Advised staff about a broken chair on our patio site and after waiting 2 days, we just swapped chairs from an unoccupied site.

Pond and beach area was very dirty. Sand had rocks in it. No shade. Will not be returning.

Did not use the water park

Nice quiet place. Not much shade around the spots or at the playground or dog park. They have very small shade screens up but they don’t do any good. We liked the easy accessibility to the parks. It was clean and you weren’t constantly being watched by the staff which was nice from other places we have stayed.

Only there for 1 night so we didn't have time to do much there.

This is a great place to stay when visiting Waterloo! Overall, it’s a very clean place with great employees! Our interactions with staff were positive! During our stay we played disc golf and swam in the pond. My son loves to fish and he was able to catch several bass. For the most part, the shower house was clean. There were a lot of bugs on the sink where the lights were. Sign says cleaned dai

I was a little disappointed since this is a KOA Resort, my expectations were higher. The lake is the main draw, yet it is not very conducive for swimming due to the odd color and large amount of algae. They really should have a pool too. We were in site 9 which was level but impossible to get into since it requires a 170 degree turn to pull through. Campground could use some maintenance.

We completely enjoyed our stay at KOA. The water park was amazing. The only suggestion we would say is that you need some more play equipment for the young children. It could be sandbox swings or a smaller equipment

Nice, clean, and quiet and there is lots to do in town.

Disappointing. Our 4th time here, possibly our last. Extremely understaffed and maintained for a KOA Resort. Trash in firepit. Bathrooms had dead insects all over. Beach/lake need some TLC. Limited activities at campground, except for one playground, a weedy beach/mossy lake, crumbling disc golf course, and old paddle boats. Please fix this! We want to be back and enjoy this campground again!

Experience was good. Cabin does need a need lock though as avoided locking when away due to key getting stuck each time but this is our 4th year in the yellow cabins and enjoy it each time

I was very shocked to find that the bathrooms were not being cleaned daily. There were large spider webs all the way up the walls in shower stalls so they had been there for a while. I could tell the floors were not being swept or mopped daily and to me that is unacceptable, so I assume the showers were being neglected as well, again unacceptable. Aside from that our stay was great as always.

Cable tv promised but not delivered. Lame excuses blaming weather/storms. 5 days never got it. Front desk staff not friendly. No greeting and seems like a chore fir them to help. Nice park. Good spaces. Fire pits poorly located on sites.

Great place to stay! Very clean and great staff! Will be back for sure.

Stayed at RV site towards the front. Nice level site. Site by hill aren't leveled/cut down. Slant down with hill. Saw gas or diesel pumps on site.

Very well maintained and attractive facility. Close to attractions, entertainment, groceries, and the highway. Over all pretty quiet, some occasional road noise. Sites are level and relatively spacious. Staff were very friendly and helpful, but not bothersome. Price is a bit higher than other areas nearby. Overall I was very happy with my stay and would stay there again.
