Rv lot

This is not really a campground it's more like an RV lot for employees who live across the street from Adventureland they camp in their RVs and work across the street.

Parking more than camping

I stayed at Adventureland for the summer months and had no issues. The staff was very helpful, plenty of laundry/restrooms throughout the campground and pretty clean overall. Concrete pads with full hook ups (30/50 amp, water and sewage) make setting up quick. Tent camping is an option in the back of the campground. Nature is not really the draw of this campground, convenience is more the approach. With a theme park on one side and a casino on the other, both in walking distance. It’s more of a park and party place hahaha

Pleasant stay when enjoying activities outside campground

Difficult to find entrance and difficult to locate camp site. Pleasant staff. Full hookups. Best if enjoying Adventureland Amusement Park or Prairie Meadows Casino and Racetrack. Not recommended if wanting to enjoy a true outdoors camping experience.

Packed

Campground is well kept. Spaces are fairly close together, not much privacy. Remodeled bathroom/showers. Showers have no benches or hooks or anything. You have to pile your clean clothes on the floor, not even a hook to hang your towel. This is a great campground to stay at if you are visiting the amusement park, other than that not much to do.

Nice Place to Stop

We happened upon this campground on our way out West. So glad we found it. The sites are all mostly concrete slabs, so it was easy to back in and set-up. Not sure if they allow campfires, though. Pool was nice, and also had a few arcade games in the pool house. The biggest draw for us was Adventureland Park which was a five minute walk from the campground. Adventureland Park is a small amusement park and water park which is great for all ages. Lots of rides for little ones, but fun adventures even for adults as well. Other restaurants and a casino are very close as well. Would come back for a long weekend away or when passing through.

Been here 2 months already

Very quiet but that will change once Adventureland opens. For as concerned about their grass as they are you would think the mowing crew would do a bit better

It’s an adventure.

This is a great spot if you plan on staying in the area and want to go to Adventure Land or Prairie Meadows. There are lots of restaurants near by like Spectators and Jethro’s BBQ.

As far as the RV park goes it’s pretty busy, mostly small families and older folks. The lots aren’t very big and you are kind of packed in there. They have a swimming pool and a fishing pond. The office also has a little store to buy goods.

They do have a small area to tent camp in. I probably would stick go rv though. There are also comfort stations lol for showers and bathrooms.

They do also sell firewood and during July 4th Adventure land puts on a really great fireworks show.

Adventure land

Very friendly help at the office. Clean sites. Pretty tight quarters. When making reservations we were told it had a pool. They did not tell us it closed for the year the day we started or weeks stay. Might have made a difference if we knew. Plenty to do here. Right next to the casino and horse race track and also next to adventure land amusement park.
