GuideThis place did not provide all of the activities they claimed to provide according to our itinerary the weekend we stayed. That was disappointing. But they have cabin rentals and a pool but the pool was shut down. Of course. My kids loved those super expensive backs of and that had “rare gems (rocks)” in them but we found pretty bland types. Overall, enjoyed the surrounding towns amenities over the campgrounds.
ScoutThe site was in a pretty park with fire ring and picnic table. Electric didn’t work. The bathroom was fine but shower wasn’t clean.
GuideThis KOA has 5 types of RV sites, Tent sites and cabins. Lots of amenities for families including pool, mini-golf, corn hole, jump pad, playground. Trees and lots of grass, fire pits. 24 hrs accessible laundry, showers, very clean bathrooms. Super friendly staff.
ScoutThere are six paved spots first come first serve with electric and water and a dump station close by. There's also a nice hot shower and clean restroom. In addition there's a golf course and beautiful swimming pool on the expansive property. It's well worth a night or two here. I paid $20 bucks for the night. They also have a weekly rate of $140.
TravelerAs a family, we felt like this was a great campground. It was full hook up with Wi-Fi for a reasonable price. We enjoyed all the trails that the city of Le Mars offers. The shower house was exceptionally clean. The campground itself was clean and well kept. What prevents this from being a full five star review was the beach it was really big but both nights that we were there, the cops had to come and remove people from the beach. The trash cans around the beach were completely over flowing by middle of the day Saturday and were never emptied. Overall, we really did enjoy the campground. We just will not stay on the beach side next time.
LegendThe women's restroom was filthy. Was going to stay here but decided not to give one toilet was clogged and filled with #2. Didn't bother to look at the second one given the state of the first and the floor. The park itself looked pretty nice and the price is super cheap....guess they don't use the funds to have the restrooms cleaned. Keep driving, there are more city parks further west to stay at or Sioux City to the east is another option depending on your direction of travel.
RangerI didn't camp here but stopped by to check it out as I was passing through. It's very quiet, if there is not a ball game happening. It's on the edge of town, not really walkable to anywhere. There are four spots, each with a concrete pad. There is an electric hookup at each site. There is a building onsite which is probably a restroom but I did not go inside.
My Verizon signal was very good here, over 100Mbit down. Strong 5G signal.
The website says the cost is $10 and can be paid at the Laurel City Office.
RangerLevel spots, water & electric. There is a dump station on site. Great Verizon and T-Mobile speeds here.

There is another review which says you pay the camp host, but they told me it must be done online now. The price in 2025 is $30/night for 30A (not sure if 50A is more), which I think is a little high considering you can camp in some beautiful spots for $30.
There is some kind of bathroom or shower house on site, but it requires a code and when I registered online it did not give me the code. There is quite a bit of traffic coming in and out of the small campground. Almost every camper has at least two cars parked with it, and people keep coming and going.
TravelerDidn’t have any issue finding a spot around 8pm in early May, and it was made way with a spot to register and deposit money on your own. Bathrooms were okay. Very pretty view of the water and the stars were bright!
