I had a great visit. There was lots to do. I enjoyed fishing. The showers were hot.

We had never stayed at a KOA campground; the location worked for us. We were charmed by the decorations that made it feel like a "lost island". It was great to have activities nearby; nice little beach and swimming hole. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We are tenters. The location had no privacy and it was extremely windy. There was a lot of highway traffic noise.

We didn't make it to our campsite due to car issues but it looks nice. The only problem I had was that, we are tent campers, & they didnt let us know our campsite # after we reserved our tent site online. Other than that, the water park was really awesome!! Really good family fun!! Need more signs posted giving directions to what rides are where. And NEED more time slots to see the MERMAIDS!!

wonderful KOA, little hard to get to due to all the highway contruction going on there in Waterloo, wonderful staff, help you, worth staying at for sure.

Very nice campground just down the road from an amusement/water park. Bathrooms are nice but need cleaned more often for the amount of people using them. Downsides: TENT campsites are tiny...if you're going here take a camper or rent a cabin. Also, there's not many large trees so very little shade on those hot summer days.

Appeared to be a newer KOA Cute idea with their theme/décor Blue water? Spacious bathhouse Tent camping- our area was a strip of grass between roads Electric to site- a bonus

My boyfriend and I had the best weekend ever!! We just started camping together and it was the best campground I’ve ever stayed at, no bugs, great weather, the waterpark was amazing!

Bathroom hand dryers were not running. Shower stalls had clumps of hair on wall. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The water surrounding the island was full of green algae.

Grass needed to be mowed by the golf course. Too much goose droppings on the beach. Bathrooms were clean. The only thing this campground had going for it was the nearness of other attractions.

we stay last year and it was awesome, the beach area was clean, had themed nights at day activities, swim area of the pond algae free. This year the there was geese poop all over the beach area, beer tops, and garbage in the sand. I was lucky I had a rake with me and could clean an area for the grandchildren, water was full of algae. No activities for children, many dogs and dog poop

A very hot week and no shade. I did more cleaning on bathroom than the hired help. Though not unfriendly, the help in the office were far from friendly.

The bathrooms are dirty the shower faucets and the handicap bathroom are broken.

I absolutely love this KOA! My son has made friends and looks for the families each year. I have made friends that continue past vacation and our stay. Besides there being a bad apple this year the management handled it very well. I'm thankful that this KOA is very family orientated and kind. Because I enjoyed this KOA I brought my mother and father this last time! LOOKING FORWARD 2023. Thank you

We had a good time and staff was very helpful and friendly. However, there was no shade at all near the tent section we were placed, thankfully the beach and swimming area was available to stay cool.

The staff was very organized and helpful. The grounds were clean. It will be nice when the trees get bigger so that there is some shade. We stayed in tents and I kind of felt exposed with all the RVs and trailers around us. For some reason we always had trouble finding our site when we left the campground and returned, even w/ map. The bathroom was clean and well lit. Noisy with highway so close.

Dirty bathrooms, no wifi, snotty Saturday morning girl when I asked about wifi, poor location for tent sites, theft of two items for which I never received the rebate promised to me. I am still expecting to receive $30.00 for those items.

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.
