I was welcomed into the campground by a very friendly camp host.
Site and shower house were clean with no trash built up.
Grass wasn't on par with a golf course, but this IS camping, for Pete's sake. So mowing was a bit hap hazard and for the first two days I wondered if we had entered a "No Mow May" twilight zone. Mowed third day. All is well.

Good location with a disc golf course close by. Check in was easy and the rangers were helpful. It can get pretty noisy late night on top of the dam with cars/bikes. Glad I had my noise cancelling headphones. Lots of activities close by.

The bathrooms were not very well maintained

We absolutely love camping at Bob Shelter Recreation Area! The damn is stunning and just right when either the sun is going down or coming depending which side you're standing on you can see lots of rainbows, and anyone with small kids know that's amazing! We purchased our first camper last August and made this our first camping trip. Close to home (Ankeny) for the first trip, was idea and we loved it!
