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.
