This campground is outstanding. We were just traveling through but the owners have gone above and beyond. We were here in October so didn’t use the pool but it was incredible. The bath house was the best I’ve ever seen in a campground. We really appreciated the Halloween decorations but they could look scary to young kids. The sites were large and open. We definitely recommend this campground!

Our favorite county park so far. Big level (ish) sites. Nice views. Walking trails.. lake, even an island. ! Great bathrooms. And very quiet.

Clean park and beach area. Fun place to relax and swim. Definitely will come back and hike the trails and would like to kayak when the water goes down a little bit from all the rain we've had!

Beautiful place to go kayaking trails are amazing. Camping was nice.

My review is only based on my recent kayaking experience. Made a first time visit and found the lake perfect for kayaking. The lake has a couple good places for access and the water quality is outstanding. The shoreline holds my interest and there are several little arms and bays that you can "get lost" in.

Great place and the staff and ranger went up and above for us as we pulled in just for an overnight stay with no reservations! Camp is clean and has a lake and power hookup! Potable and non potable and sewer is on site as well as bathrooms and showers! Nice and quiet campground and for sure a return trip when I'm back this way! 20 dollars for the night. 😃

Used this park as a little day trip away from my life in Ames! Lots of open space, there's a beautiful path around the water, and lots of spots to camp and do all that outdoor stuff too. Absolutely loved taking photos here as well.

A great park for family camping. I love the primitive sites. No RV or generator ruining the ambiance. Some of the fire rings don't have grilling grates that work, so plan accordingly. Be sure to pack a swimsuit for the beach, and archery gear with targets for their free to use archery range. They also have man-powered boats available for rent and a snack bar at the beach! My only sore spot is with the number of tents policy. You can only have one tent per site unless you have children. We camped with 2 other friends and they also had to get their own campsite. It would be more acceptable of a rule but so many campsites are already reserved! It just doesn't seem fair that an RV with a giant truck takes up way more space and damage to a site vs two two person tents. I really hope they change their policy to number of people per site and not limit the number of tents someday soon.

The new trails are quite nice. We also enjoy the playground. The beach is fun in the summer.

Spent 4 nights in this nice county park. Sites were large & the bathrooms were nice. Just electric hookup so stop & fill with water upon arrival (spigot is by the bathrooms). Bummer that the lake is not filling in very quickly, but there is a nice trail that goes 3 miles around the lake. Easy access to Ames from the park.
