Des Moines

Tucked away in the rolling hills and traditional farmlands of mid-Iowa, the countryside around Des Moines is a hidden gem of the Midwest. The town itself is packed with fantastic natural beauty, with Gray's Lake Park and the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden being great places for a picnic and an afternoon stroll, and the Clive Greenbelt Trail giving lovely views of the surprisingly green suburban areas. Heading out of town, a trip north will take glampers to the shores of the tranquil Saylorville Lake, where fishing and boat rentals are brilliant ways to while away a relaxing day or glampers can hike the bank of the Des Moines River south to meet Red Rock Lake and explore Eldova or Elk Rock State Parks. Des Moines is a brilliant place to blow away the cobwebs and get back to nature, so get started planning a reviving glamping trip near Des Moines, Iowa, this vacation!
