This seclude, beautiful pet friendly 40 acres of fenced camping site is on top of hilly land is rare in Iowa. It has close view of 3.5 private fishing ponds and far view of the Red Rock Lake. There are 10 acres nature timber area that keep you away from the other campers and rest of the world. Each site has a firepit, picnic table and a solar light . The drinking water is at the entrance, but no electricity on site. The RVs need to be self contained. There are tons of nature features, you may see deer, rabbits and other game birds by your campsite. The camping sites has good distances to keep privacy for each sites A recently built a 20ft diameter geodesic dome tent is for those who want more climate controlled stay while still enjoying the magnificent nature's gifts. for surrounding areas, the White breast beach is very close, a lot of water and hunting activities in the lake red rock year round. For our campers safety, any hunting activities are not allowed within our camping ground. However, in case you come for hunting with Iowa hunting tags, a couple of public deer hunting grounds are near our camping ground. The recently built glamping geodesic Dome tent is located on a top of hill. Our campers will have a fantastic sunset view of ponds and lake view while enjoy the great nature, and have a comfortable stay . And cell phone signals are good to use your hotspot remote working at this astonishing Lake Red Rock Oasis ^_^. Hope you will find joy, peace and happiness in this wonderful piece of natural land and the Red Rock lake areas. A little history of this land: This 40 acres of land was a surface mining site. The reclamation works done during the 1970s. But over the years, the soil was seriously eroded. Anna and Peilin, who have Masters and PhD in soil and environment health background, bought this land several years ago and started to restore the vegetation. Now the site looks beautiful and ready for nature lovers and campers to enjoy the fantastic view of the lake, ponds and tall grass... The site is totally different from what the Google map shows now.

Glamping in Fantastic Geodesic Dome
10/10 - will return soon!
My partner and I absolutely loved ‘glamping’ in Anna’s dome! We were the only campers on the campground the two days that we were there but the dome has quite a lot of space away from the other sites so it wouldn’t have mattered otherwise. We were surprised by so many materials that were already provided on the site. As a previous review stated, you could arrive missing a few things and be just fine! I was a bit hesitant about the compost toilet but it is very clean. The campground is very quiet and the view is beautiful. It is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. I’ve recommended it to multiple people and am so excited to return.

Glamping in Fantastic Geodesic Dome
My partner and I enjoyed our stay in the dome tent. The bed was comfy and we thought the fireplace was a lovely touch. Our favorite part was stargazing. It was beautiful!

Tent/RV Site 1 - mid hill
I’m actually rating Site 4, in the woods. as Anna was so flexible and let us pick which available spot we preferred after arriving. We also booked that day and allowed us to book with her directly when it didn’t work in the system. There’s tons of space on site 4, and it can also be a bit tricking backing a camper on and out, but was very do-able. Her flexibility and willingness to work with us was so appreciated. And the composting bathroom was cleaner and smelled better than any outhouse or porta-potty I’ve been in before. It was quiet and peaceful. Pretty location. Would come back again!
