We had a fantastic stay at this campground. Clean bathrooms and showers, a great playground for the kids and a lot of space between camp sites. Beautiful space as well, lots of trees and birds.

Good luck booking any camping spot with a view of the lake. I'm not sure how the process works. Six months in advance, it is impossible to get a spot with any kind of view. You apparently must know somebody.

This was our first stay at a COE campground. What a lovely surprise. This park, located on Saylorville Lake, has a lot of campsites. Most of these sites are large concrete pads and have a lot of space between your neighbors. Very quite and peacefull campground. It is conveniently located about 10 minutes west of Akeny, IA so you are close to any kind of shopping or restaurants you may need while staying here. Des Moines is also not too far away. There is a beach that had beautiful sunsets every night we were there. We camped at Prairie Flower Recreation Area COE in a Fifth Wheel. We stayed in site B63.

Very nice, very quiet campground. Sites are decent size, with space between so you're not directly beside your neighbors. Several bath/shower houses & several playgrounds.
