This park is worth going out of the way to get to. With Passport America, it was only $14 a night. The sites are huge and all grass pull through sites, 50A power, good water, strong Wi-Fi and the operators are very friendly. The interior roads are dusty, and there is no shade whatsoever, but it has a great location near the Amana Colonies. Stay extra and visit: great German shopping (make sure to go to the meat market and bakery), and inexpensive but good German restaurants. If we ever get back in the area we'll make sure to stay again, even if it is out of our way. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park with lots of open space. Management is friendly and helpful. Only thing I would improve is the roads: they are gravel and dusty. We stayed here for a week. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We like this park. It does not have many trees or other plantings but there is a lot of grass. It's laid out so you pull into a site then un-hook your toad; or you back in if there is already someone who got to pull in. It seems complicated but it works. You only camp there if you are going to Amana Villages; so you'll un-hook anyway. We were here Sunday and Monday of Labor Day weekend and it was almost empty. There is no cable TV but the Wi-Fi was good. The staff were very friendly. We try to stop here every year on our trip west. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with everything the last poster said, except I kept getting bumped off the Wi-Fi. I found that my Verizon air card worked better. This campground is enormous and most of the sites are long pull-throughs. We were there the day after 7" of rain (!) but the gravel sites were firm. A local tow truck operator told me that the week before several rigs had to be pulled out of the mud at this campground, so if you pull in here after a rainy period make sure they put you in one of the first rows (gravel sites). Many of the other rows are grass sites. The power was good. Amana Colonies is a very interesting place to visit but you can probably see everything (including the must-see Historical Museum) in a day if you get there early enough. Call the Visitors' Bureau to check shop opening times as they do change with the season. Check-in won't be a problem. The campground was about 25% full when we were there on August 29. There's a lovely 3-mile paved path that you access directly across from the park. It leads right into town. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is very nice, the staff was lovely on check in. A nice man brought me to my site. I like the no frills aspect, no pool no playground. The Wi-Fi is strong. It's within a mile of the little town, but tucked away in a very quiet area. The laundry is spotless and very inexpensive. If I could change anything I would have them fence in part of the huge unused grass area so we could let our dogs run and get some exercise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We've stayed here twice in the past month, and will stay again next time we're in the area. This is just what the traveling RVer needs, a place to park with electric and water (sewer available if needed, or use the park's dump site). We paid $14.50 (Passport America), and didn't have to pay for pools, spas, playgrounds, and etc. that we neither need nor want. The laundry was spotless and very reasonable ($1 wash, $0.50 dry). We wish there were more basic no frills parks like this. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Yes this is a large mass of grass, but a perfect mass. We could relax yet head into town to tour, eat or just sit around a campfire. The host were very helpful, rest rooms very, very clean and the mass of grass was kept mowed. Trees have been started, they are working hard to make this a 5-star campground. We have stopped through a couple of times and will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A large expanse of grass without tree or bush, this campground fills the basic requirement of a place to park but not much else. Big sites, but it didn't matter much over the 4th of July as the place was almost empty. Long walk to office or restrooms, although the dumpsters were convenient. Free WiFi was spotty and Verizon AirCard just barely worked. No cable, no broadcast TV, no pool, no playgrounds, just lots of grass and a place to park. Close to the Amana Colonies, interesting but expensive if you decide to shop. We were interested in seeing the area, but there isn't enough to lure us back to this bare-bones park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park comprises a huge grassy field covered with back-to-back and side-by-side sites. Privacy is not in evidence here. It is close to the central Amana Colony, with fun shops and good restaurants. Our site was a long walk from the restrooms and the WiFi was barely useable. It was crowded the weekend we were there and the Men's Shower was not clean. We lived in this part of Iowa for 4 years and I know that trees do grow here. Planting a few might help this park some. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great value for Passport America ($14.45 with tax) and one of the few commercial RV parks around. Huge place, all grassy fields. Long,long, long walk to shower and laundry building, and no shade; few amenities, poor antenna TV reception. Otherwise, would rate higher. Hosts didn't offer much info . Discovered too late a great bike trail near park to town and lakes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Basically a grass field with level gravel sites. Hookups were in a strange place at the back of the site. Very friendly and helpful staff, full of information on the area. Free and fast WiFi. A short bike ride to Amana Village, or take the car to explore all the other Amana villages in the area. Also just fifteen minutes from Cedar Rapids for more exploring and shopping. This is the only RV park in the area, but well worth a stop. Verizon cell on Extended Network. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is mostly an open field with an odd hook-up arrangement. The first two RVs drive in and the next two back up to them. The water and electric is grouped at the back of the four RVs. We ran the water and power under our motorhome. The WiFi is excellent. They are starting to plant trees, and the grounds are well maintained. It is very convenient to Amana Villages, and you get discount coupons for the Village shops. We have stayed here before and will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Huge CG that has back to back sites, but if they are not crowded then you have a very long pull thru. Roads and sites are gravel and they are easy to manuver. Wifi works well but it would be nice if they had cable. For a park this size there doesn't seem to be a lot of showers or restrooms. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy access in and out. We've stayed here twice, last year and again in May while visitng the Amana colonies. It's a wide open field, though there are small trees planted. When we were there in May, a trailer rally was underway. Although we enjoy animals we do not have any. Even when we did, we did not take them in the RV. However, there were many people who take their small dogs along with them and who allowed them to do their business in the grass, which was near our spot. Although these "pets" were small, I do not want to walk through their poop. There was no concern about this violation against the policy of the RV park by the owners or managers. Probably because the rally had many folks there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is huge, basically laid out in a grid in a grassy field. We stayed here as part of a rally, which seems to be a significant part of their business. Four sites are clustered tightly together around the utility hookups with large grass separation to the next cluster of four. If you get an outside site, you have an open view, but two of the sites are jammed immediately beside the neighbour's sewer connection. Overall, we were fairly happy with this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Extremely long pull thru sites, two rigs per pull thru, so the first one in gets to drive through, the next one in backs in. The place is huge, and lots of grass, with gravel streets and sites. Most of the sites were pretty level, but the area seems to flood easily when heavy rains come. It is not unusual to see rigs with 4 inches of water at the steps after a rain. The roads are not graded well, causing some pretty good size dips. Using this park to explore the area was very convenient. Office staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park and very friendly work campers BUT if you park in the grass in a heavy rig and it rains it can be a bad situation. The ground is very soft and easily floods so sinking is a real thing. We have been here in the past in a much lighter rig and knew what could happen if it rained so this time we fled the grass as soon as the pitter patter of rain was heard on the roof. Unfortunately it was very early in the morning and in the dark. The roads are hard packed though. Laundry has 4 washers and 4 dryers that work well. I believe they were $1 each. The whole building the laundry was in needed a good sweeping but otherwise was clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a good place to park if you are visiting the Amana Colonies (which I would highly recommend). The campground needs some road repair and site leveling - trees would help. For a night or two this park will work. Work camper staff were friendly and helpful. We used Passport America and got two nights for half price We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a large open field. Some sites are gravel, and some are grass. Most of the hookups are side-to-side and back-to-back with 4 rv's sharing one pedestal. At some of the sites the sewer is on the opposite side of the pedestal. The first site we were in had the power and water on the wrong side for us, and our power cord would not reach so we were able to move to a different site. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The gentleman who escorted us to our site moved a picnic table and fire ring to our site for us. There was a pile of scrap lumber available for fires. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice huge RV Park. Lots of spaces when we were there. Great place to park and run around going through all the Amana's and visiting Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Most spaces are back-to-back, but if no one else is in your same space, it's very easy to just pull through. They are starting to plant some small trees. Hookups were in the middle of each site so they were easily accessible and easy to "not run over". We camped here in a Motorhome.

Restrooms & Showers clean but showers not in restroom. Big open field some sites grass others gravel. Some sites have full hook up, others just water & electric. Sites reasonable size. It rained while we were there, did not sink as in other parks. Different configuration of sites than we've seen before. Some of the park roads could have used more gravel. Only two paved main roads. We had more rain than usual. Park quiet and reasonably dark. Staff helpful. Very convenient to Amana Colony. Loved the Amana Colonies, would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate reflects Passport America for two of the 4 nights we stayed. Friendly staff, escort to site. No shade - it is a big flat field, as has been mentioned. Can be soggy when it rains. Very convenient to the Amana Colonies. Free wifi works very well most of the time. It's not a self-contained resort, and doesn't claim to be. But it is a good place to park for a few days. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is largely a "rally park". Blocks of 40' by 70' grass sites are divided by paved roads. Although there are few sites having picnic tables and no shade trees, this is by far the most convenient park to the Amana villages. Everything was well-maintained and in working order, and campground staff was friendly and helpful. We paid the Passport America rate for a water & electric hookup site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great location for visiting the Amana Colonies and Cedar Rapids. Not much in the way of campground activities expect during special events weekends. Sites are good sized but it's one big field so there's no shade. Some trees have been planted but they are very small. Staff was very friendly and helpful with information and suggestions.

We were here for their Polkafest deal and the park was in pretty good shape considering the massive amounts of rain and adverse weather they had. The staff is friendly and the sites are large enough with the only down side being totally flat with no trees. They say they have planted trees, which they have, but they are about 1 gallon size and will grown in about 20 years. The Amana Colonies were interesting and we enjoyed our stay here. The weather was another story. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has large lots that are pull through if you are the first one there and then back-in behind the other site. Originally designed as a place to hold large agricultural shows (like the Farm Progress Show), it is large and mostly flat. They acknowledge that there are few trees and they are trying to correct this with new plantings. They are also adding more full hook-up sites. This campground hosts many dog-related events so if you are opposed to dogs or dog barking, it would be best to check they're schedule of events before booking. Our dog really enjoyed the company. While there are not many amenities at this park, it really is designed to be convenient to the Amana Colonies which has plenty to keep most people busy. There are lots of shops and great family style meals and the RV park even gives you coupons and gift certificates for the area shops on check-in. I would have rated this a ten if they had other amenities (pool, playground for kids, etc.). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Signage to campground seemed to take you a long way round to the nearest, this is due to them changing the location of the main office. Office staff were friendly and efficient and provided a good pack of information on the Amana Colonies. Escorted to site on good gravel roads. Sites were extra long pull-thrus in quiet periods but are back-ins when busy. Sites were gravel with large grass areas. Very few trees. Electricity and water pressure good. Currently in the process of installing more full hook-up sites. Quiet and good location for visiting the Amana Colonies. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Although there was not a lot to do in this campground, my family liked it. The campground was very close to the Amana Colonies and the outlets. We visited both and stayed here for three days.

This is a well-run operation. Professional, proactive, knowledgeable. Location is perfect and all the surrounding attractions left no time to worry about cable, modem, or WiFi connections - sorry. Had just way too much here - an entirely professionally run operation with usual Midwest charm. The Amana Colonies has tons of stuff going on from spring through Christmas and this CG is right in the middle of it all. Got in here without a reservation after a day of hating life at Sleepy Hollow CG in Oxford (a.k.a. Slummy Wallow). Amana Colonies RV Park is definitely on my "must-stay" list for each year's travels. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
