Each loop offers something a little different. Loop c has many views of the lake. Loop A has good size spots ,but is gravel and my not be level. Loop D has concrete pads on most sites. They have great group sites for groups of 4 up to 10+

It is a great campground but the water temperature in ladies showers in the A campground bathhouse is WAY too Hot and the handicap shower is out of order. We camped at A08 and the weeds were way overgrown! I saw the lawn maintenance coming with weedeaters so I moved everything out of their way..thinking that they were going to weedeat around our campsite but they disappeared and never came close! I had to shower outside our RV with shorts and a workout bra to get a cooler water temperature that I could tolerate! Won't be booking the A campground again.

We had a fantastic stay at this campground. Clean bathrooms and showers, a great playground for the kids and a lot of space between camp sites. Beautiful space as well, lots of trees and birds.

Good luck booking any camping spot with a view of the lake. I'm not sure how the process works. Six months in advance, it is impossible to get a spot with any kind of view. You apparently must know somebody.

This was our first stay at a COE campground. What a lovely surprise. This park, located on Saylorville Lake, has a lot of campsites. Most of these sites are large concrete pads and have a lot of space between your neighbors. Very quite and peacefull campground. It is conveniently located about 10 minutes west of Akeny, IA so you are close to any kind of shopping or restaurants you may need while staying here. Des Moines is also not too far away. There is a beach that had beautiful sunsets every night we were there. We camped at Prairie Flower Recreation Area COE in a Fifth Wheel. We stayed in site B63.

Very nice, very quiet campground. Sites are decent size, with space between so you're not directly beside your neighbors. Several bath/shower houses & several playgrounds.

I think this place is pretty nice. Very spacious, well kept. The only things that they lack are water on the sites, but they provide close by, and more access to the lake. I definitely recommend this place and I would stay here again :)
