Bob Shetler Campground is a peaceful and well-kept spot near the Saylorville Dam. The sites are clean, spacious, and easy to access. I love that it’s right by the dam where I used to catch some giant fish — perfect for anyone who enjoys fishing and relaxing by the water. A great place to unwind close to the city

I only gave 3 stars 🌟 because there was sooooo much dog poop 💩 on my site!!! I have a dog and am irresponsible pet parent and pick up after my dog. The amount of poop that was there meant that nobody attended and cleaned up my sight before I arrived. Otherwise our stay was wonderful quiet and peaceful.

We love COE parks as the sites lend to be large, are by water, & often out of town. This one is very close to Des Moines & thus very populated by fisherman & car traffic; with fishermen still present & racing cars at 3 am on a Thursday evening. Not the peace & quiet we were looking for. We stayed 3 nights in site 9 which is a lovely FHU site. Shower house is used by campground & non campground fol...

Five stars with the caveat of....know this place will be busy! A ton of people fishing and driving over the dam. If you know that going in, there really aren't any complaints! Hookups were easy, sites were level. Good signage and easy to access. Womens bathroom was not clean but other than that, our experience was great! Kids caught a number of fish and loved watching the dam output. So reasonably... Five stars with the caveat of....know this place will be busy! A ton of people fishing and driving over the dam.

Very nice Corp of Engineers campground located at the base of Lake Sayerville dam. Close by marina for boating and fishing. Sites are gravel and not completely level. There is a good amount of space in each site but no significant privacy. Bathroom was clean but showers were flooded and temperature of the water could not be regulated.
