    Winterset, Iowa

    Welcome to Pammel County Park, nestled near Winterset, IA. This spot is a gem for anyone looking to escape into nature from April to October. The park offers a mix of tent, RV, glamping, and yurt accommodations, so there's something for everyone.

    One of the standout features here is the excellent AT&T cell service, which is a rare find in many campgrounds. The camping fees are quite reasonable, making it a budget-friendly option for families and solo adventurers alike. The park is split into two sections: one shaded and one more open, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred camping environment.

    The park is packed with activities. Kids can swim below the ford, and there's a canoe loop on the Middle River that takes about an hour to complete. The trails are great for hiking, and the park's hosts are known for being friendly and knowledgeable. If you're into exploring, Winterset has a lot to offer, including a charming town square, a farmers market on Saturdays, and the John Wayne Birthplace and Museum.

    The facilities here are top-notch. The bathrooms are immaculate, and the firewood is a steal at $10 for a wagon full. Sites come with concrete pads, making it easy to level your setup. Just a heads-up: if your rig is over 12 feet, you'll need to take the back way in to avoid the tunnel.

    Overall, Pammel County Park is a fantastic spot for a weekend getaway or a longer stay. Whether you're here for the hiking, the water activities, or just to relax, you'll find plenty to keep you entertained.
