LOVE to have the canopies, chairs and cold drinks at the end of the day – makes such a difference after a hot days ride. The information and recharge board are GREAT too! – plus newspapers!

As always excellent staff, camp grounds and amenities. Well organized, polite, hardworking crew. Great value and you always exceed expectations. Well done everyone! Thank you!

I found that the great reputation of Brancel is well deserved. The service Brancel’s team provided was top notch.

Your staff is wonderful and so helpful and polite. It was a pleasure to travel with you again this year!!!

You guys rock! Nothing missed, nothing to add. You are dialed in. Thank you for your hard work to
make our RAGBRAI so enjoyable and worry-free!
