We love this campground. Lots of trees, views of the reservoir. Clean showers.

We had a very nice time. Bob the host did a great job cleaning bathroom. He seems like a hard worker

@FredrichCDF933 · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #15

Sandy Beach is always a great place to stay when we visit Iowa. Quiet, clean, and beautiful! Bob is a great host!

We were on the first loop which has fewer sites. The other loop has more sites which are closer together, some of them even share the driveway. I guess that's fine if you are camping with friends/family. There are two shower house/bathrooms which were clean. Good place for a convenient stopover. There are no trails but we drove to the state park to hike. There is also a public beach.

@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #10

All was very good. We just would have loved to have seen the beach taken care of better. Combed out or sifted to remove some of the gravel from the sand. From past experiences also .... we remembered the beach being so much bigger but unfortunately weeds have taken over too.

@MikeA1573556 · Camped on Jul 30, 2024 at Campsite #38

Very quiet and clean

@DanN5687284 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #50

Very clean campground and rest rooms. An excellent value for the price!

@StacyT5D26A6E3 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #28

The sites were clean, large, and well-maintained.

@LemealSCF0598F · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #18

Love this park but there is no beach

@BrianB7534319 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #1

Not a very good experience. Beach was washed away. Broken glass along shore and campers were loud and obnoxious

@BrianH4556502 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #20

Power was out when we arrived and a work trailer was in our space. We had to wait for it to be moved and the power to be restored. Bathhouse showers were in need of cleaning.

@JohnW4841416 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #8

Quiet on weekdays, nice view from some sites.

@GaryH6725051 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #35

Enjoy the area and return every year.Sites need attention. Especially grading and gravel to manage rain runoff.Mens shower had a very moldy curtain missing most of the hangers.

@NathanR2469741 · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #32

My family and I had a great stay. Showers were clean and had good hot water. There does need to be better signage about swiming. The signs make it look like you cannot swim but later we assumed it ment you just could not swim on the loading ramp. We asked around but no one could give us a good answer.

@WilliamB132333 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #41

The campground seems like it's barely being maintained. Sure it's mowed and some dead trees were finally cut down but the electrical posts look old and dated. The campsites, especially the fire pits are not cleaned out between campers. The fish cleaning stations were all shut down. No information was posted on the campsite posts. The additional water spigots added a while back were certainly handy.

The end

@RickB1041029 · Camped on May 18, 2024 at Campsite #17

Sandy Beach campground was pleasant to stay at as usual. Our site had a steep drive and fairly short level area which was a little bit of a surprise. The grass was badly in need of mowing and the edge of our campsite was covered with ant hills. The shower house was clean and the campground was quiet. The camp host, who has been there for a long time was pleasant and efficient.

@DarwinWB2E081E · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #3

Clean park updated bathrooms kept clean great hot water showers. Not good for tv reception. Would like to see internet put into sandy beach as well as all other corp of engineer locations.

@GayleC8750762 · Camped on May 13, 2024 at Campsite #11

Easy and quick check in. Quiet campground.

@Stephanie52540 · Camped on Sep 21, 2023 at Campsite #37

Our stay in general was good except for the company that were in there cutting wood. They drove way too fast through the campground on more than one occasion and were pleasant enough to flip us off on their way out after we called them out on it.

@MichaelT878902 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #16

Gate people were excellent and the rest room-shower house was always clean and well maintained

@RobertR8191303 · Camped on Jul 13, 2023 at Campsite #14

We stayed at site 14 in our 37' class A motorhome. This is a nice large pretty level site with a lot of shade. The campground is well maintained and quiet even on the weekends when it is full. The only complaint I would have at this time is that there were several low hanging limbs on the sites 1 - 20 loop that scraped the top of my motorhome. This was also the case at the dump station. If you have AT&T as your mobile carrier, the reception is weak and spotty.

@GlennB986FA0EC · Camped on Jul 8, 2023 at Campsite #6

Very relaxing. Park is very clean and well kept.

@RandyW4534489 · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #11

Great site location with a view of the lake and open green space. Site and dump station were very clean.

@ShawnH5107068 · Camped on Jun 10, 2023 at Campsite #11

They do a great job maintaining this campground. It's very peaceful and we enjoy it. The showers are amazing, plenty of pressure.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
