This basically a parking lot with rv hook ups, for the casino people. It is probably a cool place for someone spending a lot of time in casinos. It's not really a campground and there are no outdoor activities on site.

We stayed here one night as we were just passing through. The park is really nice and the playgrounds are the nicest I have ever seen! I even had to take my turn on the swings and down the slide. . The new campground is nice with full hook ups, however this is not your normal state park style camping. This is full on RV parking lot with campers stacked on top of each other. I’m never a fan of sitting at my picnic table to eat 8 foot away from someone dumping their sewer tanks. That’s the only con I see here. Luckily we had one of the end sites.
RangerRV camping at Platte River is a very new concept. Bison Campground has concrete pads with full hook ups located in a cleared area of forest on top of a hill, so there are no shade trees anywhere. Summertime would be brutal ☀️. Very clean campground but sites are very close to one another, so if you are looking for privacy this is not the place.
LegendLinoma Beach is a place that just about everybody in this area is familiar or has seen. They have a big lighthouse off the highway. Unfortunately this place is a private place. You have to rent a lot or space for a long term time period. If you can get a spot and have a rv or trailer it's a place for you or someone to look into.
TravelerDon't let the name mislead you!! I don't think you could consider this a campground at all... it's basically literally a parking lot at the far end of the property for RV hookups outside of the casino. There's power hookups I'm sure don't know about water or dump site at all even but other than the casino / Hotel / restaurant there are zero accommodations to consider this camping otherwise. But hey if you like gambling, Park your RV outside and enjoy! The closest actual campgrounds would be in Salix Iowa, on Browns Lake including Bigelow Park (last I knew it was closed temporarily for construction,) and Snyders Bend campgrounds but the water on that side has all dried up and there's not much to the campground. Otherwise go down to Onawa and there's several places there on Blue Lake including Lewis and Clark or the koa, or even hit the River Campground in Whiting. Not a fan of River camping but it's not a bad looking Campground otherwise if you don't mind being a bit crowded

A nice little city park in the Loess Hills of Iowa, it's not a destination but makes for a good overnight stop. The campground is primarily RV camping with about 20 sites with full hook ups. The tent camping is a bit vague, as all of the numbered sites had hook ups. I ended up pitching my tent in the grass as I didn't want to take the last site with hook ups when I didn't need them. There really aren't any trees for hammocks. The bathroom is secure with a coded door, and it is very clean inside although also very hot. The info on the bath house said to drop your pay envelope in the slot next door to city hall in town, which necessitates a drive back into the cute town. There is a nice walking path around the pond and some pretty neat historical buildings to explore as well.
An important note: Due to the massive and devastating flooding in the Spring (2019), most of the sites were occupied by flood victims, not just in this campground, but all along highway 29/the Loess Hills. Many campgrounds have modified their fees or closed to regular campers to provide space to families who lost their homes and farms to the Missouri River flooding.

It’s a nice campground especially since it’s MWR. Many full hook up sites and a very nice boat house with water toy rentals. We stayed off season and the self registration is easy. Only issue we had was determining which sites were the dry lower rate sites. The tent camping is even less identifiable. It is exposed to the elements and we actually broke camp at night due to high winds. I’d like to try this place again if we are in the area again.
Scout
This is a nice, quiet spot. Lots of trees. The sites are easy to access, and it was not full despite being a Friday in July. It is a good price for full hook up, restrooms and showers. Plus, collected fees go to local 4-H and FFA groups.
Guide
Great RV park with lots to do. Only wish there is more trees.

We were having a hard time finding an RV park since it's the off season. This place popped up and we've been so blessed. The host was so kind and helpful to us new timers. The park is a giant loop with many potable water fountains around. The dumping station is at the front of the park. We felt super safe letting our kids roam the park. We will definitely use this park again if in the area!
LegendThis is a rv park that is located near Lake Manawa in Council Bluffs, Ia. It appears to have the same fate as camping site at the lake. As if you drive by it, it appears to be a ghost town.
Guide
Small park in a cute neighborhood. 8 RV spots with electric and water. Tent camping as well. $15 / night for RV spot. $10 / night tent spots. 5 day max. Pay at the bath house, no host on site.
Single free dump station as well.

Nice KOA. There is a nice playground for the children and a pool with snack bar. Management was very friendly and helpful. We had a nice end campsite that gave us extra room with full hookups. The wifi was good and we were right next to a cell tower. They also had some nice cabins!
ScoutTwo years old, the Taj Mahal of state park campgrounds! Level, concrete pads, full hookups, clean toilet/shower buildings. Friendly staff. Concrete roads throughout!

We like a primitive camp with pit toilets and basic water. This camp was a great stop off of I-80, further out than the closer in crowded RV parks. First come first serve, it was 10% full on the last Thursday in June. Great little stocked fishing lake with sites all fairly close to the long northern shore of the lake. Redwing blackbirds, geese, and lightning bugs tucked in between the corn fields. We camped in #19 which was in a dark spot between the bright peach streetlights on either end of the campground. Much better than we expected to find for just a utility stop. Highly recommended! Memphis sleepy little prosperous town, Ashland bigger with sweet downtown area
GuideThis is my first time staying at a KOA, and I think it’s fine for an overnight RV stay, but I definitely wouldn’t make an entire trip of it. The campground is crowded and the sites are very crammed together. I believe all of the sites have full hookups (power/water/sewer) which is nice if you’ve been without for a few days like I had. I can’t comment on the bathrooms, didn’t use them. The playground and other amenities looked extremely old, rickety and borderline hazardous. The noise from I-80 is definitely present and pervasive, but I didn’t hear it from my RV. Like others have mentioned, the entrance to the campground is next to a blind hill, but it’s not impossible to see oncoming traffic.
Guide
Oh my the rate was 19.00 for full 50 amp hookup Beautiful state park in the water nice level sites paved Fire rings and tables Would definitely recommend this place it is a must stop!
Guide
This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have ever encountered! On a beautiful lake with many recreational possibilities - kayaking, sailing non power boating - some for rent. 10 miles of paved bike trails and ALL paved campsites level and clean! Many clean and nice bathrooms which showers and FULL hookups for almost any size RV or camper. HIGHLY recommended! Nice campsite hosts and nicely spread out campsites with fire rings and picnic tables. No wi fi but Verizon service was good.

When reviewing this campground it is important that I preface anything with a note about the campground condition. This entire area has been inundated with flooding off and on since March 2019. This review is taking these issues into accord and basing the review on the areas that have been repaired in the park since the flooding.
Campground Review:
When entering the park you will notice some areas that still show signs of being impacted by the historic flooding this year. The road was completely wiped out during the flooding, but due to some intense work the road was replaced to the campground.
At the park entrance there is a park office to purchase park permits for either day use or for the season. A yearly in-state park permit is $31 and a daily is $6 per day. You will also notice another building at the entrance that during the active season (April-September) is the concession stand. They have a decent spread of options to purchase like drinks, firewood, bait, etc., but you are better off price wise bringing your own supplies to save money.
Just past the entrance you will see a row of 10 former Union Pacific Cabooses that in lieu of actual cabins can be rented for a nights stay. They have restrooms, a deck, beds, etc. , but you do need to bring your own bedding when staying in a caboose. These can be rented for $75 per night. One unfortunate part of the caboose rentals is there are no pets allowed when renting.
There are multiple lakes within the campground to use for fishing. During peak season these lakes are often overly packed-in with people trying to catch something. Lake number 5 is popular for Trout fishing. During normal years that aren't heavily impacted by flooding you can also do some river fishing on the Platte River. Due to the flooding this year though, access to anything by the river is closed due to the area being a mess and some areas undermined by the water that sat for months.
Two Rivers SRA provides tent and RV camping, but again due to the flooding this year a couple of the more popular areas are closed for significant repairs. One of the busy areas for RV camping and where we stayed was the Lakeside Campground. With it being off-season it wasn't too busy but there were close to a dozen campers there over the weekend. RV camping can be done for $25-$35 per night at Two Rivers SRA. The more expensive "Full Hook-up" is actually only water and power. There are no sewer hook-ups that I have ever seen for our multiple stays. Since it is off-season the dump station is closed for your post camping routine. There is a Love's Travel Stop about 5 miles away where you can dump for $5. While the primary water is shutoff as well this time of year, there are multiple Iowa hydrants that are still available for filling the holding tanks.
Tent campers can use any of the open spots at any of the campgrounds, but if you are using a spot with power it runs $15 per night. The normal primitive campground is closed from the flooding, but when open it runs $10 per night.
Two Rivers SRA also offers Horse Camping for those that want to bring their horses out and do some trail riding. This has been closed all season due to the flooding, but when open there are usually 3-4 groups that bring their horses in for trail riding and camping, so it is pretty popular.
**All off-season camping is $5 off the normal rate with exception of primitive sites.
The campground has multiple vault toilets throughout the campground and a few new full service bathrooms/shower houses, that double as shelters during Tornado season. These fully concrete facilities have been built in the last couple years and are still in really good shape.
The campground areas that are open have been rehabilitated pretty well since the flooding. They are fairly clean and maintained, about the only real issues are the presence of more sand from the flooding and some roads that need attention.
Pheasants Forever also has a wildlife preserve within the campground. The organization maintains the grounds as a habitat and also performs hunts here throughout the year. When it is not being used for hunting, it is a really nice area to go for a hike and see some wildlife.
Unfortunately due to the flooding a lot of the areas along the banks of the Platte River that are usually used for hiking cannot be accessed. There is some danger involved with trying to get to some of these areas due to the conditions post-flood. You can still hike around the rest of the park using the roads, or even take your bikes out for some fun riding.
The area has really been impacted by the historic flooding, but they are really doing everything they can to bring the area back to what it was before the flooding. Take the time to stop out and if you do, offer a hand at helping to clean-up!
Product Review of HeadSpin Light System:
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I am offered the chance to test from time-to-time. On this camp out I was provided with the chance to test the new HeadSpin Light System. If you would like to know more about the HeadSpin Light System check out their website: www.headspinoutdoors.com
When I un-boxed this light kit with my boys we were all immediately taken aback by the options this light provided for use. The light system comes in a well designed case that houses all the components in their own foam lined spaces.
You receive the light unit itself, a handlebar mount, a head mount, a flashlight mount, and a wall charger mount. The kit also comes with a hex wrench for mounting the handlebar mount to a bike, a mini-usb charging cord, directions, and HeadSpin sticker.
The first thing we tested out was the brightness of the light while we were in the campground. We were very impressed with how bright this light is and how well it was able to show us much more of the campground than we expected based on previous headlamps we have used. The headlamp is easily adjusted for size and my boys were constantly changing the fit between each other. Adjusting the light intensity isn't too difficult either once you identify which button is used for each task. The buttons were a little awkward to identify with gloves on during the cold night when we were at the campground. I would suggest making the buttons easier to identify in some manner, possibly raising them a bit.
While I did not have my mountain bike out with us on this trip, I did identify another way to use the handlebar mount. This mounted quite well to the bottom of the grip of my trekking pole. This worked out really well when we were walking around the campground and really added just that much more functionality to the HeadSpin Light System. I do look forward to getting this mounted on my mountain bike as well and trying it out on some of the local trails.
Now for full disclosure, I have always been into different types of flash lights as it always seems as though I have a job where they are required in some way. I was really impressed with the flashlight handle for the HeadSpin Light System. It is too often when you are carrying a flashlight where you notice the grip is either too big or too small. This grip really fit in the Goldilocks arena for me and I expect to use this quite often.
When charging this light system you have the ability to use the wall plug base or the USB cable. I received this light earlier enough and I was able to use the wall plug. The light had no power when I received it and was fully charged in an hour after being plugged into the wall. In my book that is impressive, and I used it all weekend and it is still going on that charge.
I really appreciate the versatility of this light system overall and recommend it to anyone looking for a good interchangeable light setup. This works for campers, cyclists, DIY addicts, etc. This is really a great kit and I plan to use this setup for years to come. Again, to find out more about this fantastic light system check it out on their website at: www.headspinoutdoors.com
GuideThis is a pleasant campground. There are water lots available. Some spots can be reserved. Others are walk in only. Decent room between lots, though I would prefer a bit more room. Most sites are electric only. A slim amount are full hookup. Excellent playground for children. Popular place for boating in the summer months. Dirt trails to explore around the grounds.
Scout
Tried this place one time last year (first time rv camping and first koa experience). We had never been to this place and were yelled at on multiple occasions on the first day for supposed "campground rule" violations that weren't posted. The owners, rather than approach us and calmly speak to us, chose to immediately start screaming at us. Spoke to others camped around us and they said this is just how the owners are. Wouldn't go back unless there's a complete ownership/ management change.
RangerConcrete pads, full hookups, free wifi, lots to do, and beautiful scenery
RangerWe needed an overnight stop on our way to Kansas and this KOA was perfect. We pulled in just after dark and there was a note on the door stating staff was limited due to Covid. We pulled into a very large pull through on the west side of the campground (site 16). The KOA was pretty full but everyone was respectful and we didn’t hear much noise. We had full hookups & the site we were in was spacious with a picnic table and fire ring with grate. It had rained quite a bit before we arrived so we didn’t sit outside, due to mud close by our site, but we had a nice view. The next morning, we paid at the office before we left & the Manager only charged us half price (we intended to pay the full price) because he felt bad for not being able to be on site when we arrived (the schedule on the KOA app said staffed until 7pm & we were there just after 6pm).

Great campground! Best campground shower I've ever had in my life, both in water pressure, heat and cleanliness of facilities. Be aware that it's first come first served. Sadly did not make it to the interactive nature center, but heard that its super cool. Lower RV spots are on a hill, be prepared to level out farther than usual. Staff was amazing and very helpful. We def camped next to a butterfly/moth garden. They were everywhere!
ScoutHidden gem. Just a few mins off I-80 but no noise or signs of heavytraffic. Cute, quaint little town. All pull through spots and all sites are level. Not all spots have picnic tables or fire rings but there were very few campers so we had our pick of spots. Playset for younger kids. Golf course and pool in town. Nice shade trees. Bath house had flushing Toilets. Showers weren't very clean but we didn't need to use them. Perfect for a quick stop and very affordable at $20 for full hookups.
GuideSites are very cramped. Staff less than friendly. Lake is nice, but shore needs maintenance and to have trees and brush cut back. Shower house is nice and clean. Does have full hookup.

Pros
-Water/Electricity/Dump station
-Public restroom
-Near a gas station and convenience mart
-Free will donation for firewood
-Flat camping spots
-Park nearby
-Fire Rings
Cons
- There are only around 6 spots
-You share your water connection with your neighbor
-RV slips are right at the park entrance so there is the risk of traffic non stop if the park is being used for an event
I came in a couple days before memorial weekend and all of the RV spots were reserved so I only did a short drive around grabbing some photos. It looks like a great spot to swing in overnight if there are any open spots.
