Exploring Iowa is easy and oh-so-fun. Even if we’re just on the hunt for the perfect destination for a staycation, we’ll find it. If you’re not exactly a fan of the old-fashioned camping experience — sleeping on the ground, dealing with bugs, and all that good stuff — you might want to opt for glamping instead. You’ll find no better introduction to glamping than this one-of-a-kind Iowa glamping experience that will take you aboard a restored school bus. Think it can’t get any cooler? Oh, but it does…

Piper’s Skoolie in Decorah sits alongside the Iowa River, which means you’ll wake up and go to sleep with gorgeous views and the water just steps away.
