Since I don't own an oversized luxury camper, I probably looked like the Beverly Hillbilly from California until the trailer park boys moved in across the road. First off the campground is Prairie Flower; therefore, I had to search for the flowers. The trails are very well marked and there are a few splendous varieties to be seen. The campground is spacious to be sure. I was in slot B38 and there was plenty of room for expansion. All sites have electric. With my parks discount I only spent 11$ a night. Can't beat that price even though I really have no need for the electric. Sites don't have many shade trees directly. But, there are trees and I spent time chasing the shade. The heat was directing my exertion level and erecting the screen house seemed like too much sweat. I didn't have bug issues. The northern loop sites looked like modern day wagon train groupings. And the volleyball court was very well groomed. Large oversize play equipment for children.

We love prairie flower, however, the lawns are atrocious. Grass is LONG and in turn, harboring ticks and chiggers. They haven’t mowed in a long time.

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 peaceful 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.
