Where the rolling hills of south-central Iowa meet Rathbun Lake, Rolling Cove sits within the Army Corps of Engineers recreation area. This drive-in campground operates from mid-May through early September, accommodating RVs up to 60 feet with reservations available through the Corps system.
The campground allows pets and provides access to Rathbun Lake's 11,000 acres of water for boating and fishing. Campers can explore camping spots near Rathbun Recreation Area or visit nearby Honey Creek State Park Campground for additional amenities. Book early for peak summer weekends when lake access draws the heaviest crowds.
