RAGBRAI Housing

Thank you for your interest in staying with a host as you ride through Des Moines with RAGBRAI.  At this time we are no longer accepting new requests.

While here in Des Moines, Water Works Park will serve as the official campground for RAGBRAI riders. There are separate areas for RVs and tents, with plenty of space available. 

There is no cost for registered riders to camp in Water Works Park, and no registration is needed. For groups of 100 or more, please reach out to ragbrai@catchdesmoines.com for special assistance and placement. 

Don’t want to camp? We have a variety of hotels available.
