I have camped in Little Rock and Raleigh. So it may be a stretch to describe my campsite in Clinton, Iowa as urban camping. Clinton is a small city of 25,000. But until recently, it boasted a minor league baseball team.
Due to Major League Baseball’s minor league contraction in 2020, Clinton now has a more modest claim to a collegiate summer team. Why have I posted a photo of their stadium? Because my campsite backs up to their downtown property.
I will say that Riverview Park is the gem of Clinton, a city which seems to be really struggling. The park included a riverboat theater, pickle ball courts, a swimming pool, and a great walking/biking path.
These are some of the nicest courts that I’ve ever seen. Eight beautiful courts, and no one played during during a weekend. Too cold or windy, I guess.
Callie and I walked about eight miles up and down this path each day of our stay. Watching the barges work is always a good time.
