Want a 100% guaranteed way to beat the heat this summer while having a nice relaxing time with friends on the Iowa River? This awesome place has the answer. This natural lazy river offers a refreshing way to spend summer’s steamiest days.
This tubing and camping resort is professionally operated, and fully insured. They've been in business since 1994.
The campground is at the end of the float and right by the river. The company has a private shuttle they use to take tubers to the starting point.

Rock-n-Row Adventures doesn't put a time limit on tubing. There's typically more water in June, so tubing is faster. Some of the best water flow for tubing happens in July during a "normal" year of Iowa weather and precipitation.

Mud volleyball may be an option, as well.
Coolers must be 40-50 quarts to fit in the specially designed cooler tubes.

Live bands play at the campground throughout the summer. There isn't an additional charge for tubers and campers to watch the bands. Those who would like to see the bands but aren't camping or tubing will pay a $15 cover charge per person.
Leave your glass bottles and rope at home. Tying tubes together is against the rules. You can use foam pool noodles to hook tubes together. If you have small children with you and you'd like your tube hooked to theirs, the employees at Rock-n-Row are happy to accommodate your request.
Cooler tubes and trash tubs are complimentary, as well. No one needs to run out of cold beverages or face the problem of where to put their trash.
