Beaver Lake Campground — Hotel in Adel

Spent 1 night at Beaver Lake Campground at $32.10 for electric (30amp only) & water only (20 PSI). NEVER AGAIN!!! OVER-PRICED!!! The 3 different homeless campers made for a very interesting night. (I should have called the sheriff) 1 slept in his car, another in a utility trailer with no windows and the tenters were the best. Loud music, heavy drinking, and challenging conversation. Several dogs ran loose within the campground (1 dog belonged to the homeless) The campground is 1 ½ miles north of town on a very, very dusty gravel road. The first electrical pedestal I connected to had a ground fault, the water spigot leaked like a water fall and the sites while mostly level have not been cared for in some time. Several full-timers spilled over into other sites. All the sites are pull-thru, just long enough for our class-A and the park is big rig friendly. The interior roads are all gravel. The bathrooms/showers are dated but functional. There is lots of green grass and...

We had a reservation for this weekend (Labor Day) when one of party arrived the campground was found to be a place we didn't want to camp in. Several campers apparently are long term residents.

All things we find not appealing. We did not even stay. This at one time was a really nice campground that has gone down hill. It's in a beautiful location sad to see the condition of the place. Please check other reviews. IF the owner happens to see these reviews please take them into consideration. We really enjoyed the campground in the past and would like to see it return to how it was before. You are sitting on a beautiful piece of property and with so many people wishing to camp and needing places to go a little spit and polish you would be booked...

There are 15 spaces with power and water for $20/night and the groundskeeper said we could pitch a tent by the playground for $15. We opted for the former simply because we wanted the picnic table and fire ring. The bathrooms could've been cleaner, there's no ventilation so mildew grows pretty quickly. There's a firing range nearby which was irritating. There were 3 camper trailers there that seemed to have been stopped there for months, giving the place a trailer park feel more than camp ground. All we needed was a place to sleep and shower while driving cross country so this place fit the bill. There are no perks but...
