I was very excited to camp at West Overlook as they were having a Halloween camp out for the first time. I had brought some decorations for the event and noticed my 20amp outlet did not work. I went to the host office and a reported the problem. 10 minutes later 2 officers came to check the electrical box and also determined there was a problem and would contact the electrician. 10 minutes later an electrician shows up and 10 minutes after that the problem was fixed! That is what I call service! Beautiful campground with access to the Res and the Halloween even was a great success!!!

We live in the country and do not get a chance to see any Trick-or-Treaters. Thank you so much for hosting the "Halloween Campground Trick or Treat". We LOVED seeing all the Trick-or-Treaters...and decorations. We had an amazing time. Will be back again for sure!!!!

We were on the road for the last 3 weeks and this Campground was our last night, wish we would of had more time to stay a few more. It was a bueatiful area and spacious spots. And a great price. Would recommend to anyone.

We had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying two nights of campfires!

The campground and restrooms were clean. The grass was mowed up nicely, and the staff was friendly.

Lovely place to stay if you can get a spot. It's often full.

@DeborahL220263 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #W52

We enjoyed the view of the lake and to changing colors of the trees.. We also rented a pontoon boat at Coralville Lake Marina. What a great way to spend a fall day.

@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Sep 28, 2024 at Campsite #W10

Slow line at the dump station due to an individual unaware that other people might want to use the facility, but otherwise a delightful experience.

@CarlyAC886D639 · Camped on Sep 28, 2024 at Campsite #W25

Beautiful location!

@JeanieJ75553B8 · Camped on Sep 26, 2024 at Campsite #W23

We really enjoyed our 4-night stay at West Overlook. With three adjoining sites, we had so much room for our tents. Facilities were upgraded and very clean. Appreciated the hand soap dispenser staying filled and hand dryer. Plenty to explore around the area. Weather was perfect. Thanks for a great camping experience.

@PhillipB572326 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #W62

Beautiful, quiet time during the week. Site W62 was a little close to neighboring sites but level and wonderful lake view. Very nice staff.

@CarolynH139628 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #W69

only there one night sute 69, quiet .

@JoT093D25531A6 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #W81

I love campsite W81. Other campsites are a bit of a distance from this one. It has a view of the lake. Television reception was very good as well as phone reception. The entry to the site has had quite a bit of a rain wash so there are several deep ruts. This will more then likely be fixed at the end of the season if not before. Overall this campsite is one of my favorites.

@JeanneC083F977 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #W33

Beautiful, clean campground with great views of lake. Spaces are roomy and each has its own electric and gas connections. Lots of trees. Shower and toilet facilities are throughout campground. Will definitely go back!

@DelmarM25C3702 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #W54

This is a beautiful campground right on the lake. The staff is very friendly. The bathrooms with showers have been redone and are individual and very clean. Highly recommended campground

Great camp hosts. very clean and beautiful.

@SandraT2712696 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #W62

Nice, clean, cement level pads on the Mississippi River. Only stayed one night, passing thru. There is a train track that runs along the campground and the horn is pretty intense. Did not affect our sleep. Overall a nice place. Water spigot close by. Not allowed to hook up only fill.

@ChrisS8694045 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #W26

Quiet peaceful and everting was clean. Everyone was very nice

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
