Discover Indianola RV rentals for memorable road trips

Indianola is the county seat of Warren County, Iowa. It was first established in 1849, at the approximate center of the county, and was finally incorporated in 1863. The town's name was chosen from a newspaper story about a town in Texas, also named Indianola; the reasons for this decision were never recorded (although one can assume it was probably someone originally from Texas who chose the name).

The Great Outdoors

Lake Ahquabi State Park is a 770-acre preserve where you can rent boats and fish (or just enjoy some rowing), go hiking or lay out on a sandy beach to work on your tan. When you're finished, bring your catch of the day back to your travel trailer rental near Indianola for a good home cooked meal.

RV Parks

Lake Ahquabi State Park has RV sites in its campground and is located right on the lake. There are restrooms and showers, and canoe, kayak, and paddle boat rentals. There is a playground for the children but it is a little bit away from the campground. There is also a beach between the lake and campground; guests here can fish, hike and swim. The sites have electricity.

Exploring The City

Back in from the wild, Indianola has a selection of breweries and wineries waiting for you to stop by. Those with kids can check out Indianola's Tumbling Center, a sports camp that offers workshops and classes for young and younger athletes.

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.
