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. Because many people visiting the park bring their horses, all of the campsites are spacious with plenty of room for a big rig. The maximum site length for motorhome rentals is 80 feet.

Recent RV rental reviews in Elk Rock State Park
Mahdi D.

We had a fantastic experience with both the host and the RV. The host (Isa) was incredibly professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire rental process, and was even available during our trip to answer any questions we had. The RV itself was in excellent condition; clean, well-maintained, and extremely comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother or more enjoyable trip. Highly recommend!

We leveraged Ryan's RV for a family trip, where we needed some extra space for 2 adults and our Labrador, Hap. Ryan was super helpful throughout the week's stay. We had questions on propane for the heater (some of the first evenings were in the 20s), and Ryan was right there to answer and even offered to come out (was not required, but indicates a great host). As in previous reviews the RV was very well equipped with kitchen, bedding, towels, and everything. More like a hotel than an RV. Ryan set the RV up in our family's drive, so was ready to go the instant we arrived. Net, highly recommend and we'll be using again in future trips.

This experience was excellent. The coach was just as described and worked great to take our group of 8 to an NFL game. Communication was quick, clear and understandable. The hosts made everything very easy. Thanks for helping us make some family memories on a road trip to and from the game.
