Getting Outdoors
While Elk Rock State Park is a quiet and calm place to visit, you'll find several activities that are sure to get you out of your RV rental and exploring the thousands of acres waiting for you. Considering Red Rock Lake is Iowa’s largest body of water, it’s no surprise this spot is a magnet for anyone and everyone who wants to boat, swim, or fish. There are two boat ramps available for public use. Pack your fishing gear in the motorhome rental and cast your line for bass and catfish.
Camping at Elk Rock State Park, Iowa
Elk Rock State Park RV campground is well-equipped for guests. The campground features dozens of reservable sites with standard amenities like modern restrooms, showers, and a dump station. While many of the sites have electrical hookups (some with 30-amp, others with 50-amp service), it’s important to note that not all of them do.

Isa is very professional and works easily with your needs. I rented this RV for a road trip for my sister who is terminally ill. We had all the comforts of home and in a compact yet spacious RV van. Isa was great with communication and available to answer any questions we had.
Isa thank you for your part in helping to bring my Sister so much joy and comfort.
This Ethos Entegra has all the comforts you need. Among the many that I found most satisfying
Blue tooth connection on the TV. With a freezer that kept popsicles frozen the entire time. And what else? Running water in the kitchen, as well as in the restroom. Making it nice to avoid cross-contamination. Easy to work shades and awning. Beautiful interior and lighting. Looks like the inside of a personal jet. Large windows give great views. Easy to run generator for power at any time.
The onboard back up battery power start and starlink satellite system gave me great relief knowing all the bases were covered (in case of an emergency). Extra outlets and charging ports were great as well. Driving security with a wide view camera that can be switched from mirror to camera easily with a switch. Drowsy driver alerts are one of the many safety features the RV has. Very easy to drive. Drove well through the mountains and high elevation.
Great vehicle and wonderful management.
I recommend this RV van with the strongest recommendation.
I would rent from Isa again.
The best practical thing about this RV is that you can park it almost anywhere! As you can see from our photos. We got a front row seat to everything!

It was great trip and the host was wonderful. He was in contact with me from day before to make sure correct address and time to be there. He offered service if needed but everything went good except had power issues but figured it out while on the phone with host. If I have to rent a camper again, he would be one I get in touch with again. From the time til day of he was always replying to questions and other things .

Rosanne was wonderful to deal with, very responsive and friendly. The camper was clean, and fairly well maintained. The toilet had a small leak but they were aware of it and let us know how to work around as there wasn't sufficient time to fix prior to our rental. No worries. The bed was very comfortable, and there is a ton of storage! Overall, very pleased and would recommend.
