First time staying here and possibly our last. The site was listed as a drive through. It is not…read morepossible when another RV is parked in front of where your vehicle would drive. That made it a back in. Not a problem but now our hookups are on the wrong side, also not a problem. The problem was having two trailers assigned to one electric box when I signed up for a 50/30 amp because we needed 50 amp. We get there and the trailer next to us is assigned to the 50 amp side but needs the 30 amp so had to use a converter. They were not home. We wrote a note asking to swap amp sides with them. They were very accommodating kind neighbors so it worked out. I feel it is very cheap to expect two trailers to share the same box. The campsites were loose gravel over grass. They had lovely tall shade trees. A nice pool we didn't use and a great looking putt putt golf course. The long term area looked nice and well maintained.

I booked this campground online on Wednesday for a Thursday arrival, and the experience was deeply…read moredisappointing from the moment we pulled in. The property is poorly maintained, and many of the amenities shown on the website were either unusable or misrepresented. There was no office staff available at check‑in, the pool had a noticeable green hue, and the only restroom facilities were outhouse-style bathrooms. Several advertised features, including the bag boards, were broken.The campsites themselves were extremely cramped. Parking was small and narrow, and the spacing between sites was so tight that slide-outs nearly touched the neighboring RV. This is far from what the website photos suggested. When we expressed our concerns, the staff we eventually reached were rude, dismissive, and unwilling to offer any compromise, despite the misleading presentation of the property. We were told no refunds, even though we arrived and immediately found the conditions unacceptable. We ended up not staying and losing the entirety of what we paid online. Overall, this campground did not deliver on its advertised amenities or standards, and the lack of customer service made the situation even worse. I hope they take steps to improve both their facilities and their approach to guest concerns.

We visited Sugar Bottom for a beach day. The area was beautiful! It has a number of paths and what…read moreseems like a nice camping area (although we weren't there for that). The beach area was spacious--lots of room to spread out on the sand. The beach also has a couple of good shady spots, which is helpful on a hot day. However, we ended up heading over to the Lake MacBride beach because the Sugar Bottom area was a little less lively. Could have just been the day, but we were looking for somewhere more high energy on a summer weekend afternoon. They also don't have the boat rental options that MacBride beach has. If you do like quiet spaces then this would be the place! It also seems great if you have kids (which we don't) because there is just more space to run around. Just be prepared to bring all of your own entertainment.

Beautifully maintained campground. Several spaces with a lake view! Great for families and anyone…read morewho likes outdoor recreation. Boat dock available, and honors system firewood available in the evening. We did reservations through Recreation.gov and that made check in super easy! We brought our 2 Yorkies, and about 1/3 or more of the campers also brought dogs. Lots of trees, but also well mowed green spaces. This is now on our top 10 for Iowa campgrounds! Several spots right next to the bathroom / shower house, and great areas for larger camping groups. Would like to see a couple more updates to the shower facility. The water temp was fully adjustable-a knob rather than a button type, so you could have water the full duration of your shower. The water pressure was great, temperature great, but tile could use some updating. That may be in the works because the lighting was motion sensor and LED. There was also a ceiling fan which helped discourage bugs in the bathhouse!

I was especially impressed with their mens room bath and shower! My wife and I were on the road for 28 days and THIS was the cleanest and largest shower I had seen after traveling 6600 miles. We discovered that KOA's have three levels: Journey, Holiday, & Resort. My wife and I enjoyed this Journey as it is the closest to "real camping" with just enough to relax without feeling like you're in some sort of "Disney Resort". I would highly recommend this campground and will stay here again if I ever get the chance!!
