We love this beautiful land that has been in our family since 1917, and think you will too! We are located 1/2 mile off I-35 at the north border of the City of Ankeny. Here you'll find the best of both worlds just fifteen minutes away from your quiet campsite - Boating, skiing, jet-skiing, fishing at Saylorville Lake. Canoe, kayak and paddleboat rental at Big Creek State Park. Swimming & waterplay for all ages at the Ankeny Aquatic Center. Upscale shopping and dining at the District. Or venture out a bit further to concert venues in Ames & Des Moines, local farmers markets, Des Moines' beautiful riverwalk and exciting nightlife, or the Iowa State Fair. It's the best of country and suburban living! End your day with a quiet stroll along the mowed walking path that overlooks one of the most beautiful areas of Four Mile Creek in Iowa, which circles right back to your cozy campfire. Learn more about this land: You'll love this relaxing space to camp and enjoy the Iowa outdoors! Very easy access, we are just 1/2 mile off of Interstate-35. Our farm is bordered by nature on three sides and the city of Ankeny on the south. This is a single campsite, private and quiet. Your campsite has an adjoining mowed private walking trail overlooking Four Mile Creek, and is also within walking distance of Ankeny sidewalks for biking, walking, jogging. It’s the best of both worlds - town and country! We're a 15 minute drive from Big Creek and Ledges State Parks, Jester Park and Saylorville Lake where you can enjoy fishing, skiing, boating, horseback riding, hiking, biking, and the beach life. You'll find unique shopping experiences, delicious dining, a good movie, a thriving live music scene just 15 minutes away in downtown Des Moines, downtown and campus town Ames, and at The District in Ankeny. Upon your arrival you'll find the greenhouse mini-fridge is stocked with 4 complimentary bottles of water and everything you'll need for making S'mores. One free bundle of wood is included with each booking.

Greenhouse Camping

Great Spot Close to Des Moines!

Great spot! Big, private, great lawn area, beautiful view of the creek! Perfect for our family of 5! Robin was personable and answered our questions right away. Our next stop wouldn’t be available until later and Robin let us have a late check out, no problem!

Sunset View Camping

Robin's setup was just what we needed to visit family in the area and have a quiet, private space. He was helpful, courteous, and responsive.

Beautiful grassy private site!

Clean and well maintained! Electric and water hookups are a BIG + for me! Quiet overnight hours and lots of FireFlys! 🥰

Fun camping at the greenhouse

We loved the greenhouse RV site. The hosts were wonderful and left us some wood and bottled water which was nice after a long drive. The night time was quiet and peaceful, with a nice view of the lightning bugs playing in the field. They made it quick and easy to get set up. We had a wonderful time. We will definitely visit again.

The name Sunset View is very appropriate for this great little site. The sunset was beautiful.
