Sioux City North KOA

On the pros it is right off I 29 and easy to find. The Wi-Fi works better than most. They have it set-up with a two hour limit on it. You can sign on as many times as you want which seems to help in keeping the speeds up. The park is like most KOA’s and has a lot of activities for the kids to do. We did not use the cable service as Satellite worked with no issues. The water pressure is good and electric worked well. Almost all the sites are pull through and very level.

On the cons it is right off I 29 so there is some road noise but not too bad. The roads are gravel and dusty. The picnic tables and sites could use some TLC.

We had a level pull through site for an overnight stay. A large tree blocked the late afternoon sun. Laundry was fine. Staff was nice and communication about the road closures was great. This place is gated. We had the a/c running so we could not hear the road noise. We had 5 bars of 5G.

We stayed one night in July 2022 in site C34. It was quiet where we were despite being close to the interstate we couldn't hear it at all. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. All facilities were very clean. Their little store has a lot of fun stuff in it! Pizza and ice cream on site is a bonus. We had a full hook up and pull through site for our 40' RV. We did have to park our toad in the little over flow parking, but that was right next to our site so it was fine. We would stay here again if passing through. We were able to use the internet and cell coverage was good. But, we also utilize a pep-wave router. We were in an aisle that had large trees which was great for shade (a dead branch fell on our roof, but no damage), but there were other aisles which had no trees, if that's important to you, or not.

We stayed here for one night. The single road into and out of the campground is short and ends with the office right in front of you, with electronic gates on both the left and right side. So essentially you're parked in the middle of this road while you check in and get your gate code: I imagine this gets interesting when two or more larger RVs arrive at the same time, but in fairness I can't see how they can fix it. We arrived right at the check-in time of 1pm, but since it was a Saturday and the office wasn't open until 2pm, we pulled our campground map and vehicle hang tag from the late registration box. Instead of a numeric gate code, you're given a piece of paper with a QR code to scan to open the gate. The gates have signs that explain which gate to use based on your site number.

All of the roads and the RV site pads are gravel, and all sites have grass lawns, picnic tables, and fire rings. Some sites have shade trees and some do not. The water hookups are near the front of the site, while the electric and sewer hookups are towards the back. Our site (50) had the water hookup really close to the ground; other nearby sites had the spigot a few inches off the ground. The site has a large tree on the right side right by the front and was fairly level side-to-side.

The campground has the usual KOA amenities: an office with a store and bathrooms with showers, a swimming pool located at the back of the campground, and a number of recreational offerings. The "Game Plaza" to the right of the office has a jump pad, a mini-golf course, and a basketball hoop. The left area of the office has a large playground and a swing set. Propane refills are available behind the office. We were texted the morning of our departure that they had breakfast pizza and donut holes available for purchase in the office, but we didn't partake.

The enclosed dog park is at the back of the campground next to the pool. A single gate serves as the entrance to the grassy but small dog park, which has no agility equipment but is well lit at night. This dog park is really the only good option for walking dogs within the campground, but there is a large stretch of open grass along the biking trail that crosses the entrance road just outside the campground.

You can definitely hear road noise from nearby I-29 when you're outside, but we really didn't notice it when we were inside the camper.

In terms of cell service, the best speed I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna was 23 Mbps down and 19 up, and we had no trouble streaming video except for occasional buffering. The best speed test I ran on my 5G AT&T smartphone showed 123Mbps down and 28 up.  I forgot to test the WiFi before we left, so I can't speak to that.

We would stay here again for an overnight stop.

Stopped here for the night on our way out west. Beautiful campground and efficiently run. Very helpful staff. Pool is large and very nice. We had a patio set on our concrete pad with fire ring and a grill under a wonderful shade tree. Not all sites had these items but most had a nice shady tree. My only complaint was that they are located quite near the highway with lots of highway noise mostly during the day. But we managed to sleep well and had a great night. We wanted to be fairly near the interstate anyways because we were only overnighting there. Very family friendly. The bathrooms were updated and very clean as was the laundry facility.

Great heated pool and playground! We were only there for one night, but the facilities were clean and the staff was really helpful.

Great stop. Clean bathrooms, shower and the kids loved the pool.

Clean park with nice bathrooms. The kids play area cost extra and requires a wristband.
