Kids 5yrs. and under camp FREE (Tent or R.V.). Now if you need electricity add $25.00 per Electrical Hook-Up, per day (not per person). RNR does not allow gas powered generators for electricity, they are too noisy. All cost are tax included. This is a Private Camp right on the  Iowa River with large open areas for group camping where you will have your designated areas to camp and park your autos, fewer autos makes your camp area less congested. REMEMBER TO REGISTER FIRST. A person can not just camp with Rock-n-Row you must Tube as well.( Example ) A person can camp on Friday night tube Saturday camp Saturday night and leave Sunday morning.

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED


Tubing and Camping reservations are needed in advance so that

we know the day you plan to go, which time, 10:00, 11:30 or 1:30 shuttle and how many  people

in your group . We also like to have your cell phone number.



NOTE: FOR THE KIDS AND MILD MANNERED TUBERS

Sundays, Weekdays or 10:00am shuttle on Saturday may be more desirable for the more reserved tuber or families with younger children. Less beer drinking going on then, but kids are welcome at any time if the water is not to high and they can swim. Kids Special Offer, 14yrs & under Camp for free & 1/2 price Tubing, the month of August. We have noticed more of the Senior Citizens during August too. Make a reservation for the appropriate time. 


We go 7 days a week 3 times a day from Memorial Day to early September.

Our Saturdays book the fastest. Weekdays are less crowded making for a more personal float, so the sooner you make a reservation the better. We know it is hard to get all members of a group to coordinate but we will need to have the numbers as accurate as possible, so keep in touch and let us know if your numbers change or for any reason you can't keep your reservation please let us know you are canceling. Reservations maybe subject to change due to high water or weather conditions. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. We check on the river conditions almost daily and can let you know approximately how long your trip will take. We prefer reservations dates & numbers of people to be 2 weeks prior to your requested date of tubing or camping. But you may call for availability at any time 641-751-3418 you may get lucky for a last minute date. Large groups may have to reserve months in advance to insure a reservation for a large group!


It is a 3-5 hour float on the average

Regardless of 4 or 8 mile trip. Rock-n-Row will make the decision on the miles of the float according to conditions of the day and river to get you an averaged 3-5 hr. float. Tubers may stay out on the river as long as they like but be back before dark or you may get cold and lost. Tubers exit the river at the Rock-n-Row Campgrounds and day parking. Parking for customer only. Violators of parking will be towed at the owners expense.
