RV rental Iowa: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Spend a day or two getting cultured in the capital of Iowa, Des Moines, which is home to the gold-domed Iowa State Capitol building. Browse the contemporary exhibitions at the outstanding Des Moines Art Center or coincide your visit with the Downtown Farmers' Market, where you can shop for fresh produce while listening to live music. Also of note are the State of Iowa Historical Museum and the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden. Convenient Des Moines RV parks include the Iowa State Fair Campgrounds and the Adventureland Campground, both of which offer a large number of full-hookup sites. Overlooking the Mississippi River in eastern Iowa is the city of Dubuque, with scenic views on offer from the cable car that links to the surrounding bluffs. Take time to explore the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, where native species are exhibited, then wander through the Japanese garden of the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. History buffs shouldn’t miss a visit to the Mathias Ham House, a beautifully furnished 19th-century mansion that’s complete with an 1833 log cabin. Riverfront RV sites are available at Miller Riverview Park, with electric hookups and an on-site dump station. Literature enthusiasts can make a beeline for Iowa City, which is a UNESCO-designated “City of Literature.” When you’re not attending a writing workshop or book festival, you can learn about the local history at the Old Capitol Building or visit the adjacent University of Iowa Museum of Natural History. If you’re interested in the life and legacy of the 31st president of the United States, head to the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum. When it’s time to park for the night, you can camp at the Tailwater West Campground, which features 22 full-hookup and electric-only campsites. Whether you want to hike the “Devil’s Backbone” or discover the literary heritage of Iowa City, book an RV rental in Iowa and start planning your next adventure.
