The RV park is well kept with fire pits. Owners were very nice and accommodating. The park is kid friendly without being overly kid friendly as some parks are. We stayed here as it was a good proximity to The University of Iowa. Very fair pricing.

Nice little campground off I-80. It was clean, well kept, nice drive through spots with plenty of space. A little gravel mixed in with grass. Check in was easy and friendly. Price was great. We will definitely stay here again. I got a sunset picture from the back of the campground

You have to call to make a reservation. We called and they had availability. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Everything is in working order and clean. Bathrooms and showers are ok. Sites are all pull through with power and water and dump. Great spot to stop while driving down i80. The most reasonable and best value campground we have found yet. Quite cheap. Pool. Laundry. Showers. Close to the highway exit but noise was not too bad. I recommend this one

We had a great stay at Little Bear Campground. The staff was very friendly and helpful, even letting us check in late at night without any hassle. The campground was quiet, clean, and well-kept, which made for a really relaxing stay. When we checked out, the woman at the front office even sent us off with a couple of Gatorades, which was such a nice gesture. We’d definitely stay here again

Park is clean and neat, bathrooms were spic and span, but personnel are the stars here. Super friendly and accommodating. I am on a super speedy trip back to Pennsylvania from Northern California, and I'm so happy to have found this lovely spot. (tent camper)
