Nice quiet place

This was one of the best campgrounds that we have stayed at! Big Brutus is a must see if you are traveling through Kansas. The sites are level and on nice grass.The grounds are well kept, the scenery is beautiful! There are only 10 sites (all with power and water) tenting available. it is remote and extremely quiet and peaceful! Clean bathrooms and showers. No one is onsite at night but all emergency numbers provided. friendly welcoming staff!
