What others are saying about this campground
Newton / Des Moines East KOA Journey in Newton, IA is a clean and well-kept campground that provides an enjoyable stay. Check-in is easy, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The campground has a mix of older and newer sections. The original section has mature trees providing shade while the newer section is on a tiered hillside with no mature trees. The upgraded patio sites are spacious, with pavers and are equipped with picnic tables and fire pits. The fire pits are not functional for cooking. The pool looks nice, although it can be crowded with children during busy weekends, leaving little room for swimming. The bathrooms and showers are clean, but the showers could use a place to set clothes. The campground has a lot of amenities that cater to kids, such as a game room, bounce pad, and private fishing pond. The available short nature trail is a great place to stretch your legs. The campground has good cell and internet coverage and cable TV. The sites are spread out, and there is constant road noise.
