We love COE parks as the sites lend to be large, are by water, & often out of town. This one is very close to Des Moines & thus very populated by fisherman & car traffic; with fishermen still present & racing cars at 3 am on a Thursday evening. Not the peace & quiet we were looking for. We stayed 3 nights in site 9 which is a lovely FHU site. Shower house is used by campground & non campground folk, so was not the cleanest.

I only gave 3 stars 🌟 because there was sooooo much dog poop 💩 on my site!!! I have a dog and am irresponsible pet parent and pick up after my dog. The amount of poop that was there meant that nobody attended and cleaned up my sight before I arrived. Otherwise our stay was wonderful quiet and peaceful.

Five stars with the caveat of....know this place will be busy! A ton of people fishing and driving over the dam. If you know that going in, there really aren't any complaints! Hookups were easy, sites were level. Good signage and easy to access. Womens bathroom was not clean but other than that, our experience was great! Kids caught a number of fish and loved watching the dam output. So reasonably priced! Definitely would stay again!

Only stayed overnight but facilities and site were clean except for dog poop. Campers next site over did not keep their dogs on a leash and they "visited" our site a couple times. Ours were in their fenced play yard and we cleaned up after them. Looks like lots to do. Hopefully next trip will have more time.

Very nice campground with many recreational areas in the immediate vicinity.

Went to see all the water that was being released due to the amount of rain we got and filled up the reservoir. Great place to fish, go for a walk, barbecue or just to hang out.

Just to busy people who are fishing walk right through ur camp site even as ur sitting eating dinner they have no respect for u just like are current president just not a place to take ur family

Very clean, well kept. Sites were spacious and as described. Sites are electric only but water and dump station available for your onboard tanks. My site 13 was near the spillway and the sound of the rushing water was a nice background. Hard to find fault at $20

I like camping at Bob's Shelter because it's clean, comfortable and fairly quiet. We are camping here as I write this (September 3-6 2021)..its our 3rd time so far.

Very nice Corp of Engineers campground located at the base of Lake Sayerville dam. Close by marina for boating and fishing. Sites are gravel and not completely level. There is a good amount of space in each site but no significant privacy. Bathroom was clean but showers were flooded and temperature of the water could not be regulated.

Very nice quiet campground, wish it had water and sewer hook up

Dam spillway is amazing, quite the experience. Riveting to watch knowing if you fell in would not survive one minute. Clean, well maintained little park with many friendly and considerate fellow visitors
