The campsite was absolutely gorgeous on the lake. I have to be honest I didnt understand that it would be no water at the campsite, but once we got used to it, we were fine. There are just two of us, a family might feel differently!We loved our bike and I must say that the trails and Iowa were amazing. Their signage is less than perfect but once you find the trail. We wrote this cedar Valley nature area, the Iowa River Trail, and the Grantwood. We enjoyed them very much.

Sugar bottom seems to allow a variety of camp experiences: the fringes allow more space and quiet while the central area of the campground seems well suited to people wanting a more social experience.

Suger Bottom campground is on the beautiful Coralville Lake just outside of Solon, Iowa. A nice large COE park 300 + sites on paved roads we got a nice pull through hard packed gravel with 30 & 50 amp power service with water. We can see the lake thought the trees. We have good 3-4 bar T-mobile wi-fi. Super clean and well maintained park and campground. With 2 dump stations and a recycling center There is a mix of sites some have 30 & 50 amp power , water, & sewer with concrete pads. The road coming up to the campground is a little steep and windy in places but very doable, we got the 42 387FLF Durango Gold up here no sweat

We were not able to use the swimming area due to water quality. The pool in North Liberty was excellent.
@WilliamB132333 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #306
Sugar Bottom is very well laid out and very clean. The Lake borders the campground as well. We stayed at a full hook up site with a concrete pad in a fairly new area however trees were still mature. The Iowa city area is close by as well for any shopping or entertainment. Kalona, an Amish area with excellent shops and an historic village is within easy driving distance as well.

OLD RELIABLE!! Clean sites, respectful neighbors, awesome beach, hot showers. It's always the first stop on every trip out west. Thank you for a good night's sleep!
@MikeM9721189 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #163
Our campsite was very slim on gravel so we had alot of mud tracked in our camper. The swimming beach was disgusting. There was geese poop and piles of other animals poop in every section of the sand. I know the water was receding after being high but there is no excuse for not cleaning the beach sand of animal excretions daily. The shower/bath walls have paint peeling off and not appealing at all. It looks like someone put noncompatible paint over the previous paint. The water temp and pressure was good. The playground area is very small. We will not be back to this campground especially with grandchildren.

Great place, clean , super nice people and most of all, quite. I think small kiddie pools should be ok for the dogs. Highly recommend.
@KatieL4508274 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #100
Beautiful tent campsite right on the water. Unfortunately, the campground does not enforce quiet hours and some campers were up partying VERY loudly until 1:30am. If you are looking to enjoy the sound of nature at night, look elsewhere. Very unfortunate since the location is beautiful.
@RobinP5132145 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #74
Sugar Bottom is a beautiful campground. Great amenities and amazing surroundings.
@DebraE3D17C335 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #28
The spot was very small and not flat. It was very hard to pull in without the truck going done in to the ditch. There was not enough room to park the truck as u cant park on the grass. So we had to go park It up by the Bathroom. The 50w plug was bad and arcing. We had to run off the 20w. The electric box was popping the breaker. If we used more than our AC. The park ranger came and looked at it said he would be back with tape, but never came back. The spots are so close to each other that kids were running through our site. We could not put our awning out because it was too close to the fare pit.
@KimH4415877 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #73
Beautiful setting by the water. The only downfall was that due to the high water level, fishing and swimming was not the best. Not a fault of the campground.
@MarthaN0901498 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #2
Even though you are surrounded by campers, the walk-in campsites feel secluded. The bath house was clean and water hot. We enjoyed our stay.
@LylaC6FCF00BEC · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #305
The electrical box broke so had to leave for a night so they could fix the next morning
@JasonA1549011 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #193
The location is boxed in between 2 other campers with a very small green space that basically stares at the backside of another RV. The picture in the reservations shows a nice view of the lake but this would only happen if no other RVs were near by
@TomOFDAD15658F · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #93
What a beautiful, well kept park. The full hook ups is a great feature! Lot's of thing to do in the area. Had a blast.
@SandraT2712696 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #11
Large site , quite.
@ThomasH6812009 · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #86
Some sites have nice view of lake.. Showers appreciated in the facilities. Well maintained overall.
@JosephH2807051 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #186
There are always drunken fights and rude people cutting line to unload sewages. Until they start arresting theses trashy people it wont change.

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!!!
