The RV campsites are quite large and spaced quite a bit apart. There are lots of trees so most sites are shady and included a picnic table and fire pit. We had nice views of the river. There are paved bike and walking paths all around the campground and to the other campsites as well as connecting to a bike trail around Lake Red Rock. We enjoyed the bike trails. There is a lot of open space at Howell Station for families to set up games and play areas so it seems a perfect spot for family and group camping. The town of Pella is close by and there are several good restaurants and shops as well as history about the Dutch settlers. Definitely worth a visit.
Good

The best view and breeze from the river. No campers on top of you.

Clean, well-maintained, and ample room between sites.

Great campsites (101 and 103) that were well maintained and spacious. We will be back!

We didn't mind the hot weather, it made for great camping and inviting friends and family over for an evening meal. We also enjoyed riding our nearly new e bikes on the trails.

We always enjoy Howell station! The bike trails and proximity to Pella are great. Unfortunately, in the bath houses, the electrical outlet wasnt working in loop 3. Not sure about other loops.
Excellent

We love camping at Howell Station because the sites are very spacious and so we always feel like we have plenty of room and are the perfect distance from neighbors. The hosts are always polite, bathrooms are clean, and the campground is kept nice as well. We like that Pella is a very short drive away and so we don't have to go too far in case we need something from the store. We were lucky enough to snag site 101 and so we had an absolutely beautiful view of the river. The site is right next to the bike path so you can see quite a bit of traffic, but everyone is usually very friendly. I do wish there was an easier way to get down to the river to fish rather than scaling the rocks with all of your equipment. I also would like to see them bring back some walk-up sites because it seems to be more difficult now to get a site on the weekends. We used to camp here at least 5-6 weekends a year but since they switched all sites to reservable online, we are lucky to get a site 2-3 times a year. Other than those couple of things, there isn't anything I would change about this place. We love it and will continue to camp here as long as we are able to get a spot!
