FINALLY SOME NICE PARKS

Our first two nights out did not turn out as planned, but things have been looking up since then. 
 
We left Sioux Falls at 9:00 am and pulled into Clinton State Park, just outside of Lawrence Kansas at around 4:30 pm.  Clinton State Park is a lovely park, just 3 or 4 miles off of the Turnpike through Kansas. 
 
 
We had a very uneventful drive, which is what you want when you are hauling a trailer over long distances.  And arrived at a roomy, clean and well equipped site. 
 
 
The site was large and natural and had a combination Fire Pit/Bar-B-Q.  Plus two picnic tables. 
It rained overnight and was still raining a little as we pulled out of this very pretty park this morning. 
 
 
But the sun soon came out and we journeyed on to our favourite park, Clear Bay Lake Thunderbird State Park in Norman, Oklahoma.
 
This is our most favourite campground, we have ever stayed in, in all our camping travels.  A toss up might be "Boyd's Campground" in the Florida Keys.  But this one still wins out for us. 
 
 
Every campsite has the mandatory fire pit, which all campers love, but you don't get in Florida. 
 
 
Every site also has a free standing Bar-B-Q built into it's own  concrete pad. 
 
 
Plus every site has a complete concrete picnic table on it's own concrete pad. 
 
 
 
And to top it all off, every site also comes with a pole to hang your Coleman lantern at two different levels. 
 
 
All of this comes on a completely level concrete pad for your trailer or motor home. 
 
 

Plus you get to enjoy the scenic views of the lake, the wilderness, deer and wild turkeys first thing in the morning
 
 
We love this park so much, we are going to stay over an extra night before moving on Saturday.
