The people started to come in and check out the beach. I wandered inside the marina and they have snacks, sunscreen, bait and more goodies. A little of everything you could want or need for a day at the beach/park. The ladies inside working were very kind and sweet. We were close by and had rented the shelter for the day. The ladies said it was a quieter day due to the rains from yesterday chased most away. But it turned out to be a perfect day.

never ever take your boat here to the new Hinklins watersedge marina. I had my boat serviced there…read morefor since 2013 with the best service one could get never and issue. This new out fit check my boat out and told me I had a bad Kimble well I just replaced new out drive direct from Mercury and Jason installed and replaced the Kimble in May of 2022. Not remembering I had Kimble replaced I took the new hinklims out fits word for it. the daid they replaced new Kimble this June I go to lake Okoboji June 30th put boat in water backed off trailer and the most awful chattering noise I ever heard came about every time I turned half way to the right or left, get to the place I was staying this was Sunday. These guys are not open on Dunday or Monday I sent note via website as to what was taking place. They did call me Tuesday I was at Arnold's Park could no hear so called back on Wed AM. Thalled to repair shop and they stated the no longer work on boats older than 2008. so why did you work on my 1990 BAJA ? I ask are you going to fix my boat since you were the ones who broke it? No they told me. my boat was also now taking in water never ever did I have this problem before and my trim when trimming it hourly was making a new noise. These people are very rude and I am not so sure they are not crooks. I will be taking to a new person this week to find out what is wrong and then to my lawyers. I will follow up on this as soon as I get my boat checked out as to what these people did to it or didn't do that cause me all this pain. Wrecked my vacation! DrDavis DSMIA

Awesome Campground in a beautiful area of Des Moines. This looked like a relatively wealthy suburb…read morewith nice houses all around. Walkable access to the lake. About 15-20 minutes away from the City Center of Des Moines but the Farmers Market on Saturday's is an absolutely MUST stop. We really enjoyed our stay, just wish it was longer. Pro's: 1) Beautiful location right on the lake. 2) Long concrete pads that had no problem fitting our 43' TH. 3) Small jungle gym for our kids to play on. 4) Walking distance to the lake beach. 5) Easy to navigate roads 6) Awesome and easily accessible fishing areas around. Con's: 1) Electric only, although they had water throughout the park and a dump station up and the front. 2) Trash dumpsters were VERY far away. Had to truck our trash out to the dumpster. 3) Ants ... Ants, and more ants. Keep anything food related away from the outside of the rig and keep your fingers crossed they don't find the a path to the inside. 4) Power went out in the middle of the night when it was ranging near 100 degree's on the high for the day. It turned back on within minutes, but just a heads up on the power grid of the campground. 5) Pad is concrete (Awesome) but is far from level. Not sure I saw a level site in the entire CG. Even with the con's, its hard to beat $22/night. We'd stay here again in a heart beat. 3-4 days seems to be ideal.

There's a dump station and some places to fill water tanks. The playground looks pretty new and our kids enjoyed it. It was a basic, no frills campground that felt like a state park stripped down. The extremely frustrating thing is getting reservations. Every weekend is booked, but the weeks are wide open....yet we were not able to extend our stay to midweek because there is a 14 day limit.
