Rock-n-Row Adventures tucked away in Eldora, Iowa is a true gem! The grounds of this site are beautiful, well manicured, and obviously cared for. The registration desk/house is nicely decorated and organized to serve both small and large groups. *cash only* All of the staff we encountered were friendly, helpful, and shared their knowledge of the river and the tubing process (for us newbies).

We were ALSO lucky enough to meet the owner on their 16(?) Year anniversary and learn the history of this one time golf club, now campsite and wonderful tubing experience. They provide EVERYTHING (except your drinks n snacks) including a short bus ride out to the Iowa river, then..they carry it all back to shore at the end of your float! If you bring snacks n drinks, don't forget your trash bag! It'd be a shame to ruin this natural beauty! ❤️

Rock-n-Row is the highlight of my summer! If i could go every weekend, I would! ALWAYS a good time! Meet new people, run into people you met previous years, it's just a fun time! Rain or shine! The campground is clean, they make sure tubing is safe and the bands are always fun! AND the owners are some of the nicest people I've ever met! Wipeout Sondra!!
