Non-Equestrian Campground — Elk Rock State Park

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Elk Rock State Park's non-equestrian campground gives drive-in campers full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer, alongside showers and toilets. Pets are welcome. Lake Red Rock sits close enough that campers regularly use the park as a base for boating, and the Equestrian Campground — Elk Rock State Park is a separate section within the same park for those arriving with horses. Hiking trails round out the on-site options. Reservations are available, which makes sense to book ahead during summer weekends near the lake.

Elk Rock is convenient for boating and horseback riding at Lake Red Rock

I stayed at Elk Rock State Park with my son and his Boy Scout troop. The weather was perfect that night and we were able to have a nice fire. The next day we broke down our tents pretty quickly because of the rain.

We obviously stayed in the group campsite, but the campground is big with lots of trees and good facilities. It even has an equestrian part of the campground for you horse lovers.

Lake Red Rock is really close so it is a great place to stay the night and then pull your boat down to the lake for some fun on the water. Iowa doesn't have any mountains but it makes up for it with a lot of green scenery and some wonderful activities like horseback riding and boating for the family.

This is a very good state park and campground.
