Lost Island KOA is a really nice park. The store is well stocked and the park itself is beautiful and clean. The owners and staff are very friendly. We ended up there in May when our truck broke down so none of the lake activities were going on but the lake looked like it would be a lot of fun to play on. I’d stay here again if I am in the area.

Was a great little area behind everything. The lodges are small but very well organized and didnt feel small when inside. There was a community shower/bathroom and a event area with running water and power. My one complaint is they require car passes to everyone, even friends coming out to hangout by campfire. The price is also higher then some surrounding camp grounds BUT this one is better put together. Even the non lodged areas were more then other campgrounds that also have slots for campers or tents. I guess personal taste at that point.

This campground was in a great location for our stay in the Waterloo area. We visited the John Deere museum and drove to the Field of Dreams for a day trip! Did not use facilities or the Wifi. Check in was quick and easy. Campsite was long and level. The only bad thing about this place was that we picked up a mouse in our coach that took us until we got all the way to Rapid City, SD to get rid of it! Smart dude!

Beautiful campground, spacious sites, lots of grass, easy access for big rigs. Bathrooms / showers were clean, but a little dated. There is a big lagoon with a beach that kids can swim in, kayak / pedal boat rentals available. They have nice cabins for rent. There is a gas station attached to the campground, convenience store and food (burgers, pizza, etc.). This is located within walking distance to both the water park and amusement park. There is a nice bike path just up the road from the campground. We would happily stay here again.

This is a very clean and well kept campground. It’s got a beach with some beachfront cabins. If you like a leisurely walk or even a run, the lake is great for that. The gift store is well stocked. There’s a room with games that you can hang out in. Bathrooms are clean. Sites are level and there was enough room between campers.

Bad bad experience. We made reservations to stay one night. Called the morning of. We had issues getting to the KOA park and called to cancel. They would not refund any money. Never heard of that before. Especially on January 31st. We usually recommend KOAs. Not this one.

This is an excellent place to stay with the a fun waterpark nearby. Waterpark is excellent if you have little ones as I think there were 4 or 5 different play areas depending on the age of your child. As adults we had a great time to. The KOA is very clean and well managed. The camp bathrooms and showers were clean and excellent. The RV sites were open as well as the overall campground so it felt very spacious. Hook ups are easy to get to. The playground and lake looked like great entertainment for kids also. All considered, we were sad we didn't have longer to stay.

No long lines. Everything was clean. Lockers are half the price of Adventure Land. Lots of slides, wave pool, lazy river, and couple water fun areas for little ones. Plenty of inner tubes and lawn chairs, decent food areas and plenty of parking space. Flowers, plants and decor all make it look nice. Plenty of life guards and a variety of music plays over loud speakers. Nice overall ambiance. I had a good time.
