Splash and play at Lost Island Waterpark.

The Lost Island brand was conceived during a Bertch family vacation in 1991 as a fun way to give back to the Cedar Valley community. Land was purchased, and plans were developed to build Iowa's most spectacular water park. Staff were unsure what they had gotten themselves into when the gates opened in June 2001, but after 10 years of making memories, Lost Island decided to branch out with a KOA Kampground—themed as a tropical getaway, of course. Lost Island's mission is to create fun, exciting, and unforgettable experiences for their staff and guests by providing a safe, clean, and family-friendly environment unlike any other.

The camping industry was new to the Bertches, but with a focus on guests' needs and an eye for details, the Waterloo/Lost Island KOA quickly became a top tier camping option in the area. The Bertches were thinking about new ways to attract visitors to Iowa after welcoming visitors from far away places. Many ideas were discarded before the Lost Island Themepark vision became clear. It would be a premier attraction themed to transport guests as soon as they stepped inside... Only this time there would be a story as well.

Today, Lost Island Waterpark is one of the country's top-rated waterparks, and the KOA consistently receives franchise awards for exceptional service.
