Meet The Owners:
The Ritners moved to Iowa in 2008 from Los Angeles, California. They fell in love with Chimney Rock Campground the first time they canoed here. Rod, Kathleen and Cody can be found milling around the campground along with their 2 dogs Cricket and Fat Walter. It’s going to be a great summer. We hope to see you at camp.
