Stayed here in August, 2020. Rate reflects 50% senior pass discount. At $11 per night with electric, this is an exceptional camping value. Not near an Interstate, so some local highways must be used to access this area. All roads are wide and paved, as are all the interior roads in the campground. Inside the registration area are a pair of dump and water stations, positioned for incoming and outgoing traffic. It works very well.
The camp sites are absolutely huge. Level gravel pads with mature trees everywhere and any size rig can be easily accommodated here. There are water spigots and bath houses located throughout the four loops. Bath houses are dated, but the showers are large and have good pressure and hot water and are kept clean. Lots of hiking and biking available here on a trail which encompasses much of the lake and a portion of the town of Pella. There is all the dining and shopping one could want in Pella. The park itself is geared toward water activities. Only downside is the fact there is little connectivity here. One might find some spotty coverage depending on exactly where they are located in the campground.
We absolutely love COE campgrounds. They are so consistent with their structure and amenities, you pretty much know what the campground will be like no matter where you might come across them around the nation. And the fact they accept the senior pass for a 50% discount is icing on the cake!

We have stayed here several times over the past 3 years. Very nice Army Corp campground. Always clean. 50/30/20 amp service, two dump stations with non potable and fresh water. Fresh water available throughout the park. Verizon signal is weak here but a MIMO antenna will get it up to 2 bars with 6-8Mb down. All the roads in the park ... more
We have stayed here several times over the past 3 years. Very nice Army Corp campground. Always clean. 50/30/20 amp service, two dump stations with non potable and fresh water. Fresh water available throughout the park. Verizon signal is weak here but a MIMO antenna will get it up to 2 bars with 6-8Mb down. All the roads in the park are paved and the sites are gravel and generally level. The Corps is removing a lot of diseased ash trees and replanting. Routine sheriffs and Corp patrols through the campground.
Mike H. would stay here again

Has several loops. Gravel pads under spreading trees and lush grass. Good showers. Boat ramp. All network channels picked up, but CBS was weak.
