Ottumwa City Campground

Beautiful campground but LOUD. A ballgame across the street lasted until well after 1am & kept us up. Traffic is pretty loud too, but I expected that, being in the center of town. Could use a few upgrades, but not bad overall.

The camp host is very friendly and helpful, they care about you having a good site and good experience! We stay here quite a bit! The yard is mowed, kept clean. The sites are pretty large.

Clean bathrooms, always well stocked on toilet paper. Camping spots are mowed and fire pits clean. Jim and Pat do an awesome job! You see them working or riding through the park, waves as he’s checking on things! Lovely people!

POSTED AUGUST 1, 2024: Jim & Patty are excellent campground hosts! They are friendly & very helpful! From greating you in the office, answering any questions, to a friendly smile, a wave & spending a bit of time to talk to you when checking in on the park on their many checks for your safety & cleanliness! They are wonderful people! 5☆ The new shower house attached to the back of the office is heated, spacious & private from restroom stall area. There are back in sites & many sites that are pull through! The price for hookups, (electric & water), internet codes for devices & 2 shower houses at $20 per night is well worth it! As for the the occasional vandalizm at the old shower house, would be a minus but, Jim & Patty are on top of that too! If there is a complaint, or you see/hear of something out of the ordinary, they are on top of it! ASAP! They are very attentive & aware of everyone staying in the campground! The only other minuses would be the road being close by (for some sites), not much space for each site, not every site has concrete parking space & there aren't any laundry facilities. Open from the beginning of April until the end of October! *It is really is a shame the campground isn't year round.* We give Jim & Patty 5☆ We give the campground 4☆ We recommended this campground!

Nice campground. Very convenient. Host was amazing. Went for family emergency and she asked about my mother every time I saw her. Seemed to me like she was legitimately interested. I thought it was great of her.

Today had smart ass truck come in by baseball diamond back side facing taco John's trying to pepper our window with rocks and flipping us off. How stupid you gotta be? It's not about you everyone fishes. Over by the deck why do you have campers where people fish campers should be where they always was over in trees start making campers over on other side too. Stop locking the damn bathrooms it's your locals destroying it and ragbrai riders
