Prairie Flower Recreation Area

Great campground with everything you need for a fun and easy getaway. The sites on the south side are a perfect size, and the loop layout makes it ideal when multiple families are camping together. It’s just a quick drive to the lake and conveniently close to plenty of restaurants, fun activities, and stores if you forget anything at home. The camp hosts were fantastic—very friendly, welcoming, and kept the entire campground in excellent shape. Highly recommend!

This was our first stay at a COE campground. What a lovely surprise. This park, located on Saylorville Lake, has a lot of campsites. Most of these sites are large concrete pads and have a lot of space between your neighbors. Very quite and peacefull campground. It is conveniently located about 10 minutes west of Akeny, IA so you are close to any kind of shopping or restaurants you may need while staying here. Des Moines is also not too far away. There is a beach that had beautiful sunsets every night we were there. We camped at Prairie Flower Recreation Area COE in a Fifth Wheel. We stayed in site B63.

Great place for a night, weekend, or weekong adventure! Great access to the lake, clean bathrooms, spacious sites, generally quiet neighbors. Highly recommend when in the area.

Each loop offers something a little different. Loop c has many views of the lake. Loop A has good size spots ,but is gravel and my not be level. Loop D has concrete pads on most sites. They have great group sites for groups of 4 up to 10+

Very nice campsites. Peaceful and quiet 🤫

Beautiful camp area with a beach.

Grass was TOO tall to walk thru...clumps of grass from previous mowing...lots of bugs compared to previous years
