TLC Camping

I very much enjoyed my stay at TLC! I was looking for a quiet weekend and TLC was the perfect place. The TLC property is wonderful. Gretta and the on-site hosts were also wonderful and very accommodating. There’s also a county park with a lake about 1/2 mile away. My dog and I went for a couple walks over there. I will definitely try to get back to TLC again and recommend others check it out!

We were the only campers and had full access to all facilities, and welcomed by very nice folks and invited to use the wood on site to build a fire. We ended up leaving quite early as the wind kicked up, but a lovely place not too far out of the way.

Gretta was a delight. Very friendly and welcoming. The camp site was perfect. We felt comfortable and safe during our entire stay. I will definitely be back!

Wonderful site, friendly hosts, and excellent amenities! Couldn’t ask for more.

Beautiful campsite outside of Des Moines with lovely owners! So accommodating and wonderful. Thanks for everything!

This stay was perfection! I ended up arriving really late (around 10pm). Gretta stayed in communication with me throughout the day, and after it ended up getting stormy, she let me stay in the barn dorm rooms instead of having to set up camp in the rain at night. That was so generous and much appreciated! In the morning my dogs got to stretch their legs and run around the farm while I made breakfast outside on the picnic tables. Perfect, relaxing, and calm place to camp. Highly recommend!

We stopped here overnight while on a road trip. We ended up getting in later than expected after traveling and when we arrived there was a fire in the fire pit waiting for us which was an incredibly nice surprise! They have a great fire pit with benches and you’ll want to spend some time here enjoying the incredible night sky. We have never seen a more star filled sky than we did staying here! It was breathtaking. If we were ever in the area again I’d definitely stay another time!

TLC Camping is a wonderful, quiet spot perfect for anyone looking to stay over in Central Iowa. Gretta is friendly, thoughtful, with good communication.

Very lovely little area. They made us a fire. We explored the running creek and the fireflies were plentiful. The facilities were nicely kept and the barn was gorgeous.
