Pella, Iowa is just under 45 miles east of Des Moines. This central Iowa town is where famous lawman Wyatt Earp spent much of his childhood. In the mid-1800s, several hundred Dutch settlers founded the area. The name "Pella" represents a site where settlers could seek religious freedom. These days, Pella is more of a refuge for people seeking a quiet escape from the lights and action of the state's capital city.

Winding rivers and rolling hills can be seen in all directions, as can acres of forestland. Outdoor enthusiasts are quickly satisfied with the number of activities to take part in. While summer brings beautiful sunsets and warm weather, the region comes to life in the winter. Snowboarding, sledding, and other cold-weather activities become popular pastimes here. If you're looking to find an adventurous Midwestern getaway, book an RV in Pella and hit the road.
