Camping
Elk Rock State Park
Elk Rock is operated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and is located on the southwest side of Lake Red Rock. Elk Rock provides a fine setting for camping. A modern shower building and trailer dumping station are available. The camping area contains three "loops" with nine non-electric sites. Electrical hookups are available at twelve additional sites. Camping permits are obtained by self-registration at the campground entrance.
This area also features a 13-mile equestrian trail, and provides the only equestrian camping area at the lake. The equestrian campground features 51 sites (23 electrical hookups.) A modern shower building, horse stalls, hitch rails and riding arena are available.
A day use picnic area is located one mile north of the main park entrance on Highway 14. This area has two open shelters, a modern restroom and a foot trail access to the lake. One shelter may be reserved for a fee through the park ranger.
