Spruce Creek Park — Attraction in Iowa

The campground is very pretty. Being on the water is beautiful and from what I saw I’m sure it’s nice. However the weekend we went it was not. The weather wasn’t the problem. The problem is how the weather was handled. If you need ANY assistance or guidance from the host, good luck. I was met with attitude and zero empathy on where, how or what to do when our camp site was ankle deep in water. No help at all. Zero. When our camp was destroyed the next night from the storm - not one person came to see if we were ok, needed assistance or anything. Only thing we got was they we could NOT leave the metal from our pop ups and had to get them to the dumpster. When all my daughter and I wanted to do was leave as it was still storming and there were employees EVERYWHERE with skids. They cleared a path to our spot from a tree down in less than 2 minutes. There was zero reason to not let us leave under the circumstances and knowing we had a long drive home in the storm on top of. I contacted the board and was told they will use this for further training. And they were sorry. I have read several reviews on other online platforms and all is wonderful ASIDE- the host. They have a big problem and until it’s fully addressed- stay clear. It’s simply not safe. It will be a wonderful weekend for you as long as you need no assistance. I don’t think they like to...

It would be a great place to camp, as long as you avoid the camp host at all costs. If you happen to run into her, look away and avoid any and all communication, she'd just as soon spit on ya than look at ya.

If you plan to buy wood, don't bother, she only glances from their camper and pretends to not see you, then doesn't show up at the wood crib. God forbid you knock on their door to request buying wood for you will bear the full brunt of the camp host wrath.

In summary: good campground, but treat the camp host like a bear—obsurve from a distance, never...
