Amana RV Park & Event Center

The Amana RV Park and Event Center is clean and provides convenient access to each site, and to the nearby small Amana Colony communities.  The shade trees are growing and within a few years will offer better shade.  Our site was easy to access and the staff were good to work with when I needed to alter our reservation by one day.  
The park is large, and they have a meeting space.  No doubt, it would make a good place for a group to gather.   However, there are no "extra" or "resort" type amenities.  Just a clean level spot, of adequate size, with hook-ups, in a location that was easy to get into and out of.  Nothing bad.  But, it did seem a bit expensive for what was offered.

The best part of the park is its easy access to all of  the shops and German Family-styled restaurants in Main Amana.  

Third trip in three years. They mow a lot, and they have clean bathrooms , however, they need to work on more gravel. When it rains, the sites are solid mud. Not level either. No Wi-Fi and no cable.

Close to  Amana colonies.
Clean large sites
Would stay again

This is a nice park very close to Amana. Sites are fairly level, all the sites were 50amp so you need an adapter for 30amp rigs, bathrooms were nice and clean. Occasional trains going by.

A review I read, said the road to the campground was “huckleberry”. The road to the campground is paved. It’s not entirely smooth, but nothing to keep you from coming.  Nice clean campground, well-kept, and easy access to all the Amana Colony towns.  The only slight drawback is that if you need groceries, they are 15 miles away.

The park itself gets 5 stars.  The reason for 4 stars is the entrance road. You need to drive very slow.  We're in a 5th wheel and there was a lot of Huckle Buckling ( that's the wife's saying). We slow to 10 mph. The road is about 1/4 mile long.
OK, now for the good stuff.  Staff was great. Large level lots with gravel drive and well keep grass sites.  Roads inside the park  were well maintained gravel.

Great place to stay. Great staff. A nice walk to the town of Amana. But beware of Amana gift shops. Just spent more than double an amount for a Rada bread knife. 

We camped here for three nights, the perfect place to be if you plan on visiting the close by Amana Colonies.  Check in was a breeze with the very helpful and friendly staff.  We were escorted to our site, all of which are full hookup with 50 amp service (bring a 30 to 50 amp dog bone to hook up, they have some available if you forget yours), back in on label gravel pads with picnic table, fire pit and free fire wood available at a central location.  There are large trees scattered about the campground and the access roads are gravel and wide.  Large grass area between the sites. They have a nice laundry facility. 

Came in at 7pm. Office was closing but no problem. Maureen was helpful.   We were escorted to our site.  Park was not busy, it's early in the season. Turn would have been pretty tight if it were full.  We have a 42' 5th wheel.

Very large field like RV Park. Late self check in with no reservation in October was great. 
TV via antenna worked great. WiFi (basic) better
 than most RV parks. Very close to Amana Colonies and close to I90. 

Can't say enough about Jamie and her staff at the park. Full hook ups, lots of grass, gravel, level parking spaces and a very clean park. 

This is a huge RV park suitable for large rallies. All sites are gravel but with some grass growing up through the gravel-not a problem. There are few trees so not really any shade. The laundry facilities and bathrooms were clean and convenient to our site. Some sites are far away due to the very large property. 

A great place to stay for visiting the Amana Colonies. We definitely recommend it. 

Very nice clean park. Sites were gravel and level with full hook up (50amp). But No shade. The town was full of shops to visits. I visited one of the best quilts shops ever!!!! Lots of wineries/breweries and antiques. 
Definitely stop again. 

Pros- Very large sites with big, well-tended grassy areas beside each.   Affordable, full hookups.   About a minute to the main Amana Colony. Wifi available, good cell service.  Our satellite worked beautifully.  
Cons- Very basic, few amenities.  It’s a huge field, very little shade or trees- we used both of our ACs all day.  All sites have the potential to be pull-ins, but if your site-mate arrives first, you will have to back in.  Very rural; closest grocery store (15 minutes) is adequate, but dated.  Host that led us to our site via golf cart was pretty rude/upset when we could not decipher his hand signals or seemingly read his mind;  very strict about adhering to his parking measurements.  

Stayed for 1 night on our way back to MN. Huge sites and the town was fun to visit. We were here on a week day so the campground host allowed us to delay our check out by 2 hours giving us a bit more time to poke around. We'll be back.

Huge park, flat sites, nice pull thrus.  People were very nice.  Spend some time there exploring the shops and restaurants at the colonies.  

We were here a week after the the big storm in Cedar Rapids and they were up and running and open. That said the roads here are under repair so just getting here was a nightmare. 

Huge sites, lots of grass, quiet ( surrounded by cornfields).  Good hook ups, but don't expect good cell or internet as it is the middle of nowhere 🙂

The roads coming in and out of the park desperately need to be graded. The showers are nice and clean and the laundry facilities are very nice. The people working in the office are extremely nice and helpful. The park could benefit from converting some of their building space to a club house or upgrade their play area. There is nothing for children to do in this park, but full hookups for $222 per week is reasonable.  

The park is a giant field with the RV sites organized in blocks of 16 sites with a center water and electric hookup that services four of the sites.  The sites and roads are dirt and gravel and if there is rain, it can be very muddy.  Each site has a picnic table on the grass area separating the sites.  The park has showers, laundry and community rooms in the center of the park.  The wifi worked and the staff was nice during check in.  

As the park is closing for season they are spreading more gravel and grading all sites so I expect many of the problems from record rainfall in the fall of 18 should not be an issue in the spring of 19

Stayed over two months here while working in area.
Big park, not many trees,gravel roads and sites, decent laundry room, can pay weekly after paying monthly.
During my stay record rainfall. Lots of ponding and I wish the sites had a little more gravel but under normal circumstances I don't think this would be an issue. 
For most part staff friendly and helpful.
Amana is nice place to check out with some really neat shops but most closed by 6. If you want to eat some great German food there a couple restaurants open till 8.
Wal-Mart 20minutes away.
I have a large travel trailer and I checked out the other places in area. Marengo is really tight. A few lots in Oxford big but most of the lots are on a hill with lots of trees. A coworker had problems getting Dish working.
All in all I would recommend. It worked for me

Sites were full of puddles.   And dog waste.   We left a day early it was so bad

The host couple when we checked in were very friendly and helpful with local area. The second couple was anything but. Very abrupt and not friendly. Customer servIce skills could certaInly be improved.

Other than that was a nice campground. Roads too narrow to turn without going on to grass. Sites are back to back but decent spacing. 

Nice site.  Reasonably level gravel.  Lots of rain so grassy area soft.  We don't need amenities but full hooks ups were great.  Enjoyed being able to attend events at event center.  No trees

Great place. No complaints. Would definitely stay again. Great wifi and employees 

Staff very friendly and helpful. Spacious sites with FHU. No cable (antenna picked up 4 stations). WiFi not bad. Love the thick grassy area. Picnic table. You can request a fire pit. Roads gravel so tend to kick up dust. Didn’t use the facilities. Some train and small aircraft noise but not bad. Great price with Passport America. 

Nice campground, friendly staff, large sites, but narrow roads and parking on your site.

To save money, time and headaches from the unwelcoming, many times rude, staff, stay elsewhere. This park caters to events and rallies. If you are not part of an event, you will not be treated with respect. Rallies over campers is their motto. If you have to be in the area, I would suggest staying at Sleepy Hollow in Oxford, IA. It is right off the interstate and much more convenient. They have many more visitors and long-terms for a reason. They are also open year-round.
The Amana Colonies is not as it was 15 years ago. Many shops and restaurants have closed and they ship their goods in, nothing is authentic any longer. Sad. Note: The hosts are rude and remind me of the Gestapo. Stay elsewhere.

We've stayed here before. We were traveling on Holiday weekend - no place reserved- stopped in and they accommodated us - no sewer avail but we are in a nice setting- quiet - this is a great area to visit. Nice CG with super friendly and caring staff. Will come back again I'm sure. Was a 2 night minimum - but think that was due to Holiday and an event. 

I had to laugh at some of the reviews, I understand them all.  It's an ok park and near Amana for shopping, dining and sightseeing.  It is indeed in the middle of a cornfield.  The spaces are long, all are pull through if you take two spots, they are all back in otherwise.  The sewer and electric are in the center of the two spaces serving both spaces, it's an ok design.  
When we were there the park was less that 1/3 full and we were still not permitted to back across the invisible line at the electrical box.  We were lining up our sewer and the caretaker came back on his golf cart and made us pull forward.  I suggested since they were not at all full that it might be a nice courtesy to allow us that five feet.  No, the rules are the rules.  I can respect that. 
It was a nice, quiet night and very few trees so our satellite worked fine. 

If one likes camp in the middle of open field. 
One of the old guys in golf carts thinks he is Gestapo guard

Staff very pleasant and helpful, sites are very large and flat. Wifi is super. Will plan on longer stay next time for the local beer and brats.

Kind of an open grass field ambiance with amenities but I enjoyed it. Staff is nice, sites are level and it's close to everything. If you have a large or huge group, this is a great destination. If you're a lone traveler, this is your kind of place too.

Great and friendly staff. Close to all local attractions. Will definitely stay here again

This is a big open field with a lot of grass and some buildings for meetings, maintenance, etc...it feels like out west. Sites on the ends open up to a big side yard if you are pointed in the right direction. All utilities worked well. Good AT&T but limited OTA.

There are very few trees and when I initially arrived and requested to move to be close to one, the old lady at the desk barked, "Are we going to play musical chairs here?" Which was rude and uncalled for, IMO. She appears to be IT illiterate and gave me a hassle about extending my visit with a credit card over the phone. 

Great CG for playing with your dogs in the back field. The laundry worked well with four units each; $2 washer, $1 dryer. No change machine and I did not want to deal with the Grouch again for quarters. 

We stayed in a motorhome at $18 per night with Passport America.  Very large park.  We had a back in and all hook-ups worked.  We stayed here to visit the Herbert Hoover Library, Museum and National Historic Site. Wonderful experience about a real humanitarian. The park is 1/2 mile from the village of Amana.  Make sure you visit before 5 PM when EVERYTHING closes except the 2 restaurants and general store. 

Large park with 400+ sites many with sewer and 50 amp. No pool or cable TV. No playground for kids. No trees so satellite will be no problem. No trees equals no shade so you will bake without air conditioning. Adequate rest rooms and showers but not enough if park full and people on sewer sites use facilities. Good WiFi. Very convenient to Amana colonies.

Super easy sites for big rigs long pull throughs. Would not be case if busy season as sites back up to each other for hookups. Although if got there first could pull thru. Gravel entry roads and sites. One negative was no wifi service.   Large meeting facilities. Very close to Amana colonies to tour enjoyed quaintness of area and shops. We stayed here in a 40 motorhome

If you have a RV, then this is the place for you. They expect you to bring whatever you need with you. They provide the hook ups. Plenty of sites, with plenty of room for your rig plus toy. Close to the greatest little community. 

This is a very large campground with gravel driveways and a lot of grass. Everything was well cared for except for the restrooms. There was only one set of restrooms and they were mediocre. Amana is a very nice community. Campground appeared to cater to groups and is nice for larger campers.

Great place to camp if going Amana. Close to town. Friendly owners and staff
