“21.40 To Dump And Fill Water ”

We came thru looking to dump and refill water. Although they do not have a regular dump station, they had a side empty long enough for us to dump and fill up on water. $21.40 to dump/fill but didn’t find another spot of the interstate so it was worth it.

Booked here last minute and had very low expectations. Luckily we were pleasantly surprised.
Very easy getting to it off the highway.
Wonderful staff and very pleasant campers looking to enjoy the wonderful campground.
Best camp store we have ever seen. Fun quality items.
Great, level sites with a decent amount of room between and we had a great view of the fishing pond.
Plenty of room for our dually and Jeep, even with our 44' fifth wheel.
Excellent WiFi and cell service.
It's quite a distance from downtown Des Moines and not much in the area at all. I love even finding obscure things in the area, but the only thing I could find here is that they filmed Bridges of Madison County here. Not even a good movie.
If you're looking for a good stop-over spot or a fun place to hang out with the family for a few days this is a great spot.

This KOA is quickly becoming one of our all time favorites. We’re stayed here 3 times as quick stops on cross country trips between CA and WI. It’s perfect!! Clean, quiet, huge spots and open in winter!! I can’t say enough about this great spot.

This was a very busy, family campground! Our site was gravel pull-thru with FHU's, well kept lawn between sites, and quite spacious for being stacked like cordwood. Fishin' pond, playgrounds, pool (busy this time of year), large indoor pavilion, nice camp store, tons of stuff for the kids to do and play on. Even being this busy with the large amount of young'uns running and biking around it was surprisingly quiet. They even deliver the on site Hunt's Bros. Pizza to your site. Staff was friendly. We camped at Des Moines West KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

This campground seems to attract 2 types of people: locals looking for a campground with a lot of stuff for kids and people looking for a quick overnight stop with amenities. I was the latter.
The middle row of this campgrounds has 2 sites to a spot. In one case, my neighbor's slide-out was hanging over the water hose bib and power pedestal.
Kids are loud and run around u supervised and people continue ually cut through our site.
The bathroom was not as clean as it should have been.
If you absolutely need a spit with power, this works, if you can skip power, a Walmart parking lot is a much better choice.
