Lazy Acres RV Park
Overview
Lazy Acres RV Park offers a refreshing escape into the Iowa countryside, blending modern convenience with a nostalgic campground feel. Located in Center Point, this park has evolved into a premier recreational destination for travelers passing through the Midwest. It is known for its spacious layout and a commitment to maintaining a clean, family-oriented environment that encourages guests to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or a long-term seasonal stay, the park provides a welcoming atmosphere that reflects the heart of Iowa hospitality.
Location & Surroundings
The park is perfectly situated just off Interstate 380, providing easy access for travelers while remaining far enough from the highway to maintain a peaceful, rural atmosphere. Guests are surrounded by the rolling agricultural landscapes of East Central Iowa, with the Cedar Valley Nature Trail running nearby. This strategic location serves as an ideal midpoint between the vibrant cultural hubs of Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, offering visitors a perfect balance between quiet seclusion and easy access to urban amenities and shopping.
Amenities & Park Features
The facility is exceptionally well-equipped to handle modern travelers, featuring level pull-through sites with reliable full hookups. Families often congregate at the recreational pond or the expansive playground area, which includes popular features like a jumping pillow and pedal carts. For guest comfort, the park provides high-quality on-site laundry facilities, clean restrooms, and a general store for essentials. The inclusion of mini-golf and a game room ensures that there is never a dull moment for those staying on the grounds.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Cedar Valley Nature Trail, a paved path perfect for long-distance cycling and morning walks. A short drive into nearby Cedar Rapids reveals the National Czech & Slovak Museum and the bustling NewBo City Market. For those interested in regional history, the historic Amana Colonies are within easy driving distance, offering a unique glimpse into communal heritage through local crafts, woodworking shops, and traditional German-style dining experiences.
Who This Park Is Best For
Lazy Acres is an excellent choice for families traveling with children who need plenty of space to play and stay active during their journey. It also strongly appeals to big-rig owners looking for easy navigation and generous site dimensions that accommodate large slides and tow vehicles. Because of its quiet setting and extensive recreational facilities, it is a preferred spot for those seeking a multi-day vacation base rather than a simple overnight parking space along the highway.

We have visited and took our kids here over the years. This summer we went up and its a trash dump. The frizbee golf range is trashed and not cut. The gravel roads had gravel missing and ruts in the road. Overall upkeep is not good. WiFi is a joke. Train ride for kids didn't happen. It's no longer kid friendly for us. Apparently even when you sign up there is no guarantee for your spot when you get there. Check the registration process. Do not recommend. Use to be a great campground.

The first spot we booked had a 2 foot washout on the rv pad so they tried to get us on a different spot on a hill furthest away from everything. The roads are extremely rough. They ended up giving us a spot way in the back :( Fire pits are way offset to camping lot.(ours is 20+ yards from camper)The sewer hookup is up hill from camping lot. The grass needs mowed it is 10” + tall. WiFi keeps going in and out and extremely hard to connect to. The lots are extremely big though! This is our first night so we will see how it goes it seems like a nice campground. The campground lacks grounds maintenance. Seen a lot of trash laying around. This place could have SO much potential!!!

Let's start this off with we found out this campground has new ownership as of last year. However that also means the new ownership has had a year to get things up to speed. The playgrounds were over grown, and the multiple lots that were rented by our group were all unkempt. However when we complained the next morning the friendly staff had someone out that day to mow them for us. However however we had reservations booked 4 months in advance, so we shouldn't have had to complain to begin with. The playgrounds/activities that are advertised were overgrown and no paddle boats were out at the pond to use. We may check it out again in the future but they need to do some work for sure

We have camped here many times before and had a wonderful time, but are now sad to say that we will not stay here again. The front desk guy was great and the location was good but everything else is neglected and in disrepair. The putt-putt course is overrun with weeds and unusable, the splash pad was locked up. The volleyball and horseshoe pits were unusable due to over-growth. Our group camping site was actually mowed after arrival but with a push mower as a second thought. Other sites were not mowed for a long time. All of the dumpsters were overflowing. The road ways had HUGE ruts. Very unfortunate; it appears like they are doing nothing until they sell to a new owner. Sad.

We stayed at this park June of 2022 with our grand daughters ages 5 and 8. They had a wonderful time and wanted to return this summer, 2025. The website said it was a wonderful place, all the original attractions and a pool in the near future. We were very disappointed to see how everything was in a sad state of disrepair...roads were rutfilled, poor grass maintenance, broken playground equipment, no paddle boats, a skeleton of an unusable mini golf course, dry broken down splash pad and needless to say, no future pool. On the plus side, there are large, full hookup camp sites and a clean, though outdated, shower house. This place could be nice, as in years past, with a good handy man and diligent groundskeeper.
