Getting Outdoors

Fringed by a grassy foreshore, the 72-acre Red Haw Lake is a fantastic place to soak up the sunshine and cool off in the clear water. The park is also known as a premier pan-fishing destination, with the chance to reel in tasty bluegill – perfect for a fish fry back at your camper rental. The lake is also well-stocked with bass, crappie, and catfish. Cast a line from one of the fishing jetties or launch a boat and access deeper waters. To maintain the peaceful atmosphere, Red Haw Lake allows canoes, kayaks, and electric trolling motors with no wake.

Camping at Red Haw State Park

The Red Haw State Park campground enjoys a picturesque lakeside setting shaded by mature oaks, maples, and pines. Choose from 76 RV-friendly sites, most with either 30 or 50-amp electric hookups.

Exploring the Area

Camping at Red Haw State Park puts you in the heart of Southern Iowa, where you'll find a postcard-perfect landscape of rolling hills, shimmering lakes, and rural farms.

Vince’s RV was amazing. He is a great host who communicates well. He explains everything in detail and takes time to answer questions. The RV is in top notch shape! Well maintained and very clean. Our family enjoyed an amazing trip to the Black Hills. Kids enjoyed the outdoors with the comfort of the being indoor in the RV. Will definitely rent from him again for our future RV adventures! Thank you Vince!!

This camper was perfect for what we needed. All the things you might need are available, TJ explained very well how to use features, and it’s the cutest little camper.
Unfortunately for us, we were renting to stay close to my brother in the hospital. Our reservation had to change unexpectedly, but TJ was very accommodating and thoughtful. Offered to help however he could with anything. Thank you so much, TJ!
