Go camping at Lake Red Rock
Lake Red Rock is recognized as Iowa’s largest lake, but not everyone knows that it is also known for the white pelicans that pass through every spring during their migration. Just like the pelicans, visitors also flock to Lake Red Rock during their Iowa spring break to spend some time in the sun. With over 400 different campsites, this scenic spot will allow you to become one with nature. Chimney Rock Campground is a fan favorite because of its cozy cabin options and watersport rentals like kayaks and canoes. But if you’re looking to pitch a tent or stay in a roomy RV, North Overlook Campground is the place for you. Since this campground is within walking distance of North Overlook Beach, guests can make the most of Lake Red Rock with the help of stand-up paddle board rentals as well as e-bikes from SUP Red Rock. You can travel on land or by water to various attractions from the Cordova Observation Tower to Red Rock Dam to see all that Lake Red Rock has to offer. Plus, with plenty of local restaurants and coffee shops, you won’t have to rely solely on roasting hot dogs above a fire for your meals.
