George Wyth State Park — Attraction in Waterloo

A park of contradictions. The modern bath house was clean as could be expected. Signs reminded campers to social distance, and pointed out amenities not cleaned regularly (ie. water tap and play ground.) Playground and equipment was in good condition. No ranger on site, just a camp host. RV/electric portion of the campground was open and neat, with few trees. The tent/non-electric campsite we had reserved was the dirtiest campsite I have encountered in years. My family spent 30-40 minutes picking up broken glass, broken balloons, food wrappers, bottle caps and an 8 foot length of construction-grade chain. Broken tree limbs were hanging loose from the trees around us and I worried they would fall in a wind. No problem; the trees blocked any sort of breeze from reaching us. Train noises lasted late into the night; as late as 1am on one of the nights...

This is my problem, how can you reserve a RV site, but the tent sites are walk-in only and unreservable.

I know that you can reserve a few tent sites, all primitive and the crappy ones. So thanks George Wyth for ruining my day and my daughters birthday weekend, I was going to camp here, but I will find a nicer park, that is not run ragged, to stay with my family and have a...

We have a pickup camper, the site was very much dome shaped in terrain so trying to get the camper level without the back of the truck bed being excessively high off the ground was very annoying. I didn't really care either way if there was a cooking grate on the fire ring, but the grate that was there was bent all to heck. I know there's only so much they can do about mosquitos, but good Lord, thought I was going to get carried off by them when trying to use the bathroom or shower. Did not see any water spickets other than over by the shower house. I don't expect that they can have one at every site, but a few scattered around would have been nice unless I...
