Des Moines West KOA Holiday Recreation

There is no shortage of ways to stay active and have fun at Des Moines West KOA Holiday. Whether you are looking to relax or fill your day with activities, everything you need is right here at the campground.

Cool off in the seasonal swimming pool, open from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, or spend time out on the water with paddle boats on the pond. Cast a line in the fully stocked fishing pond, with space all around the shoreline to settle in and enjoy. Fishing supplies, including bait, are available in the office, and guests can join in on weekly fishing tournaments with prizes for participants.

For those who enjoy staying active, the campground offers plenty of space for walking and biking, along with easy access to nearby trails. Kids can burn off energy on the jumping pillow, playground, and activity areas, or join in on scheduled games and weekend events designed for all ages.

Traveling with pets is easy here. Let them run and play at one of the Kamp K9 dog parks or take a walk together around the campground and nearby nature areas.

After a full day of recreation, grab a meal from Hunt Brothers Pizza & Wings or relax back at your site and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
