Pioneer County Park, Clarinda, IA: 6/2-4
We had planned to stay at an IA state park near Creston, but after finding such unpleasant camping at two other SPs, we decided to find another alternative. Luckily, since there are so many campers in the plains states, there are plenty of campgrounds if you hunt around on the internet for them!
The literature says Pioneer Park is in Clarinda (birthplace of Glenn Miller), but it is actually closer to Shenandoah. The NPR station we get is from Maryville, MO. We are very close to the state lines of both MO and NE. This is a cute little park with about 12 RV sites with W&E. It is almost deserted during the week but fills up for the weekends, especially when there is a children's fishing derby, like this weekend. Nearby Shenandoah has one of the country's smallest Walmarts and a very nice library with WiFi, which came in handy, since we have less than one bar of Verizon service here. We also found a really good Mexican restaurant.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 1:30 PM
