Wife and I both enjoyed the shade. There’s a lot of trees which is nice plus a beautiful lake view. Bathrooms were very clean. We only stayed for one night because we’re heading home , last leg of our trip.

This is the only park we have ever stayed in that will not let you wash the bugs off the windshield. The park is all dirt so that rain causes ruts and mud puddles.

Nice quiet campground. Could use some more gravel as some areas are rutted from the rain. Would stay there again if I'm ever back in IOWA

A nice park, we were there just overnight. Thought they could use more gravel. It had rain recently and the area was muddy and the driveways were muddy.

Family vacation/trip. Mr. Kelly was so agreeable and his crew takes such good care of the grounds and 'check-in' lodge. The site was exactly like advertised. Lots of hand waves from the patrons and people there. The most satisfying was the quietness after dark.

First time here, and we will be back! Nice, nice, nice! Space was bigger than most KOA spots, more trees which have it a more camping like experience. Loved it!

Beautiful KOA! Big trees, grass sites and a nice lake.

Easy fix, pick a site that is full hook-up we have many, you chose one that didn't!

Town was under a boil warning , hosts forgot to mention that to people coming into town. I don’t think I need to say more

We have our own private water, we do not use town water we are in the country. We have nothing to do with town water or operations and we had no notification from the town nor would we expect to.

Need to be more flexible with early arrivals and consider people's travel situations. If the campsites are empty let people come early. 2 young employees who helped us we're professional and helpful.
Jun 25, 2021
quiet, clean and very friendly staff. Will return.
Jun 25, 2021
Asked to fill up our propane tank at check in. They said they could only do the fill up T 5:30 PM. I’m not going to unhook and come back up front!�

That sounds like a reason to give a bad review.

Nice park, but sites are VERY narrow. I don’t like the fact that the picnic table is about the width of your front yard.

We stayed here years ago while in transit. We were so pleased to find this gem of an RV park again. The folks who run this place are wonderful. Next time we plan to extend our time and enjoy this tranquil stop on Blue Lake.

Check in times are set for a reason, so we can do our work to keep our campground beautiful for our guests. We do not have space for RVs to sit and wait.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great place to camp.

Short, just an overnight stay

We had a problem with power cord reaching but they were super helpful fixing the issue plus it’s a nice campground with lots of shade trees
Jun 22, 2021
Pretty, shades right off highway but quiet
Jun 22, 2021
Did not feel welcomed upon arrival. Abrupt, inexperienced teenager checked us in and nearby adults not any more friendly. No activities for Father's Day weekend & price for site was very high for location of park. Not a bad park just not a good experience.
Jun 21, 2021
Staff could be a little more friendly
Jun 21, 2021
Nice level lots!!!!! Owners very attentive. Wonderful, relaxing, fun. Paddle boats could use some updates. The backrests don't stay upright & support the back so it was hard to peddle & see where we were going at the same time. Lol

Drove over fire pit tired to get out of park before anyone noticed, blamed us for it when he drove halfway through a site. Wanted to check out late originally said 1 then changed to 3 later.

Too many rules that were difficult to do such as parking on the grass. When it says laundry is open 24 hours but was locked at 8pm. They did unlock it for us until we finished the load that had been started. They seemed unfriendly and like they were watching us. Just felt uncomfortable there.
Jun 20, 2021
Loved this campground. At check-in, we were moved to a site with a view of the lake. Level, pull-through with full jook-up. Mature trees and the breeze made it quite comfortable, even on a blazingly hot day. Will stop in again. Look around Onawa, a sweet town with a fabulous library.
Jun 20, 2021
Sites were super clean and the grass at your site was fantastic.
Jun 20, 2021
Site was too narrow for our rv. We couldn’t open our slide all the way because it was hanging over the neighbors picnic table. They even moved it closer to their rv but it still didn’t help. There were other sites open which were wider. We were there for only 1 night so why switch. I do think they employees should know their sites better Bathroom was locked so I didn’t go into check.

You booked your site online, you received the site that you picked. You were given the restroom code at check-in.

Loved this oasis and the mature trees giving shade.

My husband and I stayed here for the first time in July 2021. We have been back multiple times since! I was worried after reading some reviews as people were complaining about strict rules. We didn't find it strict at all. Everyone we dealt with went out of their way to be helpful. I tend to ask a lot of questions but never once was I shut down or felt like I was a bother. The lake is beautiful and reminds us of much longer trips we used to take to Minnesota. Campground very well cared for, cleanest restrooms we have ever seen/used at a KOA. The pool was kept perfectly clean and was so enjoyable. The RV spaces are very well spaced out, beautiful shade trees for my hubby who can't do the sun! Both sets of my kids and grandkids came out and had the best time! New dog park for my furkids and wonderful new playground for kids. This was an amazing place, and we hope to be going here for years. Thank you.

Typically, we don't stay in KOAs: we camp in the back of our pickup, with two mattresses in the bed and we don't need hookups or electricity. But since Lewis and Clark State Park campground on the other side of the lake books up very early for the summer season, we ended up reserving a tent site at this KOA. Our stay was pleasant enough. The site was right on the lake, with other simple campers (a family in a tent trailer) right next to us. No problems with rowdy behavior or noise. Restroom facilities (toilets, sinks, showers) were clean and well maintained. There were lots of huge RVs in the other parts of the campground, crammed in very close together. We were glad to have reserved a tent site.
