The 2026 RAGBRAI LIII route has officially been announced, and the Des Moines West KOA is perfectly positioned for riders, support crews, and spectators seeking a comfortable place to stay along the route.
RAGBRAI LIII runs July 18–25, 2026, covering 391.4 miles with 16,027 feet of climb across Iowa. We're located just 37 minutes from Guthrie Center (Day 2) and 54 minutes from Boone (Day 3), making our campground an ideal stop for rest, recovery, and a quieter night before the next ride.
Many riders stay with the main group, but not everyone wants to push to exhaustion. Whether you're riding part of the route, supporting a team, or simply want full hook-ups, showers, and a peaceful night's sleep, the Des Moines West KOA offers a refreshing alternative.
Why stay with us during RAGBRAI:
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
