Very well maintained. Very nice area. Descent fishing from the banks. The cabin we stayed was nice. The shower was kind of small with handicap seat installed. Maybe they could put a portable. A lot of wasp nests could be knocked down above porch. Overall we did have a very nice stay.

Great place to hike, fish and camp. Also a great equestrian camp.

We visited the campground but didn’t spend a night. Looked very clean. Concrete pads for electrical sites. A tad close together for my liking. Had individual shower rooms. Nice lake and not crowded at all, especially for Labor Day. I fished and had a couple bites but no catches. There looks to be a very nice paved bike trail through the area too as well as nice cabins for rent. I’d come back and camp here especially during the week.

good camping, hiking, swimming, and fishing spot for central Iowa. - on the north side of the lake, there is a large beach and swim area that is well maintained. drawbacks there are: no pets allowed on the beach, (we had to tie up our dog at a near-by shelter), you're not supposed to swim past the buoys which are at approx 6' depth, the bottom of this lake is reaaal squishy - the campground is on the south side of the lake. there is a playground and a shower and bathroom house that is very nice. the tent-camping sites are mostly bad, with almost all of them being right along the road, away from the water. However there is 1 awesome tent site - #11. it is huge, has its own driveway away from the road, and has access to the trail network and waterfront. (to get there you need to turn north on a gravel driveway just east of the playground). use the self-pay station right next to the shower house to pay for your site. We did have a ranger drive by in the morning to verify that we had paid for our camping site. if tent-site #11 wasnt available, i think i'd keep driving and find somewhere else to tent-camp, this place is mostly meant for the camper crowd the grounds were super well maintained, we absolutely slayed 2 hours worth of fishing near sundown with tons of bluegill and largemouth. the bass were hitting top-waters and that is hard to beat, tons of sunken timber makes for quite the bass habitat here
