This is a no-frills stop off on a road trip kind of place. The bathrooms were pretty gross and there are lights on all night so hopefully you have a blackout tent or good shades on your RV. It's nothing to write home about but it was quiet and I slept well. I would stay again

It’s a good place for camping not perfect. Has a descent size lake good for kayaking and fishing.
Traveler
We only stayed here for the night but everything was perfectly fine. A little off I80 but not too far. Nice lake and incredible harvest moon the night we were there
Ranger
Large modern KOA with sites to accommodate all sizes of rigs and also tent campers. Gravel sites require some leveling. Not much privacy between sites nor shade. Bathhouses were clean and private. Laundry available. Off leash dog area available. Convenient to John Wayne’s birthplace and covered bridges of Madison County. Bulk propane tanks were on site for winter campers. Camper cabins available. Small store with Hunt Brothers pizza to order. Gathering room on site and pedal car racetrack. Verizon cell signal was good. Garbage dumpster and dump station on site.
ScoutWe have been coming to this campground every year. They have recently open during the winter which is great because not many campground are open during this time. Steve is such a great guy who is always looking out for you.

Tented camped in late October, the weekend before closing. I was only tent camper in the electric only sites. If there was a tent only location, I didn't see it. Those in campers that need water and electricity are regulated to gravel 'parking lot' sites.
Beautiful park with playgrounds, swim beach, fisbee golf, paved trail, many fishing bars, and more.
Electric only sites are small and spaced out well. Most have level drive perfect for sm camper or suv camping. Grass has slope, but I think you can find a good enough place for tent, I did. Bathroom clean enough, I didn't use showers. I enjoyed the privacy of lake-front site J.
ScoutWe made a one night stop as we traversed I80. Clean with shaded park like area. Electric, water and sewer available. Bathroom and shower were clean. But old style, so small and well worn.
GuideHave stayed here several times, one of our grandkids favorite KOA's. Staff is one of the nicest and most helpful we've ever encountered.
GuideGreat location, good facilities (shower, spigot with drinking water, restroom with flush toilets). Plenty of space in tent area - shade and soft grass. A bit noisy when I stayed (people playing loud music into the evening). Overall a good place to stay
GuideStayed here for five nights attending a family reunion. First time staying at a koa and it was awesome. From the site service firewood and food delivery, to the location and people who stopped here in their travels. I will definitely stay at a KOA again!
ScoutQUIETEST KOA IN AMERICA. no hiway no traintracks or airport! Well kept.. bathrooms are a little scarce and WET.. but very nice little campground and VERY friendly staff.
Guide
We love to return here every year!
Recently updated two-way fresh-fill/santiary dump station. There is Ice Cube Consessions and the skating rink from Memorial Day through Labor Day every year. Great long-term hosts really make this park feel like going home.
TravelerVery courteous staff and clean campground. Pizza on site is excellent snd you can order it ahead for your arrival.
ScoutCampground literally empty and our 2nd car could not sit at the camper??? Get a life!!! I swear they always find something to bother us about, we are done camping here!!! No room for a fire unless you want it 2 foot from your camper. Go to Little field or Hancock.
Scout
Beautiful view of the lake! Multiple options of camping sites. Clean RR and showers. Nice area!
ScoutEverything you expect from a KOA. Roadside Oasis, a place to rest a weary head, food, showers, etc. Cabins always help get you in and get out early without setting up camp.
GuideStayed here overnight while heading to Colorado. Extremely friendly staff, very clean site, easy check-in and points redemption, and tons of activities for the kids. We would absolutely come back to stay for a full weekend!
ScoutWhat’s not to like? Clean, quiet, easy to setup. Perfect spot for our family to spend an evening. I’m sure it would also be great for a several night stay over.
TravelerWe were lucky and got a spot right along the lake. This park is peaceful (only slight downfall is the trains you can hear a bit-not too loud though). Bike/hiking trail, disc golf, kayak/paddle boat rentals, swimming beach, historic roller skating rink, playgrounds and more-something for everyone to enjoy! Close to Jefferson which has a great coffee shop and cute shops!
Traveler$13 full hook up. Stayed 4 nights on a beautiful lake. My 35 foot rig made it to the back-in spot easily.
ScoutWe loved staying there over the weekend.
We got 2 electric only sites 129 & 130 for our tents. Good sized spaces. Clean latrines and park all around. A lot of timid wildlife
GuideVery nice park you can pull your rig right up to the lake there is fishing and hiking. Can rent kayaks paddle boats you name this place is a nice quiet place to camp
RangerNot too far off the highway. Office is open until 7pm which was very helpful as we arrived a little later than expected. We’ll kept, clean bathrooms with space heaters running to ensure they’re warm during the December cold. Would love to visit in the summer as they have a ton of fun amenities for kids such as a pool, dunk tank, gem mining, ladder golf, horseshoes, jumping pillow, water balloon wars, basketball and more. Don’t pay attention to the highway signs that says they’re only open until October, they’re working on updating them.
GuideThere are campsites along the lake with easy access to shoreline. There are approximately 100 sites. There is a playground and disc golf. There is a roller rink and a concession stand. This is a very busy campground in the summer. There are reservable sites on mycountyparks.com. There is a golf course that borders the park.
RangerSuch a lovely and clean campground! I love the beautiful surroundings here. Definitely worth the visit.
TravelerNice, clean bathrooms, food/drink available in their nice store. Fun outdoor toys for kids. Pool has historically been gross after 4th of July but there are new owners in 2021, maybe its improved now. Easy access from I80, good couple restaurants in Adel.
Guide
This campground is part of a city park. It is far enough off I80 that you don't hear the traffic at night. When I arrived, I was the only one here. Later at night another camper showed up. It was nice and quiet. Nice to have a grassy park to walk the dogs around. Not much to do here, but I only stayed for one night. The bathrooms were a little beat up, but clean. Best part, it was only $10.
