LegendVery nice state park campground. There are cabins as well as campsites. The park is adjacent to Pine Lake and water based recreation is available including swimming beach and boating. The campground is off a paved road and is near to town. There is a walking path to the boat launch from the campground. Biking/hiking trails are on property.
TravelerNice quiet campground. The front looks like more long timers and it was a little noisier up there but I drove to the back loop and it's nice and quiet back here. PLENTY of 50/30/20 amp hookups and the shower house in the back was nice. Water was just lukewarm but it was hot out so no problem. Might be less pleasant in colder weather though. Pull through spots available. I would stay here again for sure.
Legend9-14-26 Timberline East RV Campground, I do not think this is a KOA anymore. Tent site T1 & 2 was level and on grass with table and fire ring. checked in at 7pm, overcast, Molly was great at the check in, offered a 10% Veteran discount. $34 for the night. We only stayed one night. Showers and bathrooms were decent. T-Mobile was 5G 4 bars. Rained all night, you can hear the noise from the highway but you drown it out.
ScoutGreat little spot with lots of hiking trails. Bathrooms are clean and guests are quiet. Don’t miss grave from 1869 at top of hill on trail. Beautiful place. Wish I lived closer.
GuideGrass sites, plenty of space. Some sites have great views of the lake. Nice walking trails. Wild life to watch. If you are camped under a hickory tree you will need to brush off the Hickory nuts off your slide outs. Plenty of parking for guset to visit. Peaceful. We love camping in Hickory hils.
RangerThis is a sweet well-maintained campground just south of Mitchellville, Iowa off of 80. Not many sites and only a handful were occupied mid week in July. There is a little stream running along the edge of the campground. There is one bathroom building with 6 separate rooms - each with a toilet, sink and shower with warm water. Plenty of drinking water at centralized locations. There is shade at most sites when you first enter the campground and in the loop. Along the edges (inc the stream) shade is more variable. The only issue we had was a bright light that was on all night near the end of the loop. We were in site 5 and had to move our truck so it didn’t shine in all night.
TravelerThis campground appears to be new or newly re done, great showers and bathrooms, right on a bike trail seems to connect to everything. Quiet large sites with full hook ups, more sites being developed
ScoutGreat spot in the woods. Lots of trails. They have a bison and elk sanctuary. Also a nature center. A playground. They have several RV spots. Most are pre book but they have a section for first come first serve. Also lots of tent camping. A few group camping areas. Showers are ok. I believe the non shower house bathrooms are all vault toilets. Overall a great place to stay!
GuideAfter some confusion with booking (office hours are until 7pm, confirmation email said 9pm) we were able to get ahold of the operations manager at the park who helped us. Pull through paved 50 amp sites, with water and sewage. Picnic table for use. Within view of Adventureland so it was cool to see the rides lit up at night as we parked. Clean park. Will definitely stop by again when we aren’t just passing through!

They have beautiful views," recommends a camper who discovered these prime locations. These sites provide direct sightlines to the water, enhancing the cabin camping experience.
Winter cabin availability: Unlike seasonal tent camping, some cabin facilities remain open year-round. Jester County Park cabins are "fully stocked, linens included!" according to a regular visitor. This makes them suitable for off-season visits when temperatures drop below freezing.
Proximity to local attractions: Thomas Mitchell County Park cabins offer both natural setting and nearby amenities. "Clean and well groomed. There's a fairly nasty industrial park, complete with a junk yard and car mechanic garage with abandoned cars scattered around the entrance that you'll have to navigate through before reaching this KOA," notes a visitor to a nearby campground, highlighting the mix of developed and natural areas in the region.
Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities require advance booking, particularly during summer months. At Tower Rock, "The two cabins are fairly new and have all of the amenities," making them popular and often booked weeks in advance.
Variable amenity levels: Cabin facilities vary significantly across locations. Some provide only basic shelter while others include full kitchens and bathrooms. "This location has 2 furnished 'cabins' for rent. There are no RV or tent sites," notes a Tower Rock visitor, clarifying what's available at this focused facility.

Kid-friendly amenities: Newton KOA offers numerous family activities. "Tons for kids and families to do. My only complaint is that where we were, tent spot #1...there wasn't really any soaration of the tent sites," mentioned a visitor who found the facilities well-suited for children despite some layout issues.

Mosquitoes can get pretty bad, also poison ivy if you get into the thickets," according to a visitor who enjoyed the amenities while noting potential challenges.

Parking considerations: Cabin areas often share facilities with RV sites. "Very RV friendly, I was the only tent camper I saw the weekend I went. Stayed with friends. The pond isn't a far walk and had plenty of small fish for the kids to catch," noted a visitor to Outback Campground & Resort, indicating the site's layout favors RVs.
Electrical capacity: Most cabins offer standard household electrical outlets, but may not support high-draw appliances. Sites with RV hookups typically provide more robust electrical systems than basic cabins.
