Cimarron Campground - Cimarron National Grassland

Nice little spot compared to surrounding land, small trees, zero traffic noise. Fairly light traffic, no services, good Verizon signal. Pit toilet. In October just 3 of 12 or so spots taken.

Stay far far away from this campground. Unless you like wasps and bugs. I couldn’t even use the restrooms because they were overtaken by wasps. I set up my tent and the wasps were swarming all over my tent.

Stayed one night during a road trip from Salida, CO to Annapolis, MD. We traveled with two kids in a sprinter van. The campground was clean, bathrooms were clean, and very quiet. Spots filled up a bit towards the end of the evening with about half occupied for overnight stays.

We were there for opening day of dove season, so the campground did have a few hunting parties and you could hear shotgun shots in the distance, which didn't bother us. None were loud.

Flies were a bit bad in the early afternoon but settled down at night.

This place was wonderful. Clean, quiet, remote, beautiful. It does not seem to be rigorously overseen (there were no envelopes in which to put my $7 overnight fee), yet it is in fine shape: water pumps, toilets, trash cans all working and clean. More to the point: it's in the gorgeous grasslands. I just stayed for a night, on my route from Santa Fe to Chicago. I was the only one there. As there was no rain in the forecast, I slept out under the magnificent stars, staring at the milky way late into the night. Highly recommended.

The campsite is $7 a night and was a nice quiet spot. The dirt road to get there is very rough.

Nice campground. Level sites, water available, and restrooms. Sites are separated but you will hear generators from nearby neighbors.

I only stayed one night but I would recommend the campground.

Great small campground! Not busy, sites are well maintained, there is water, trash bins, and pit toilets as clean as they come. Verizon has good coverage out here. This is definitely one of my favorite campgrounds so far in the Plains states. Looks like they’ve made some recent updates to be more accessible.

Lovely camping in the National Cimarron Grasslands. Peaceful beauty all around. Only one other camper. Highly recommend if you are looking for off the beaten path. Vault toilets and water.

Cimarron National Grasslands,$7.00 per sites 10 sites(some are double sites so they call it 14 sites) all pads ar gravel, a couple are pretty level, all sites have fire ring, vaulted toilets, several water spigots according to Kansas worker they check the spigot monthly. Several Ponds some are stocked with trout in the winter a stamp is needed for the rainbow trout. During the summer they are stocked with catfish. 23 miles Santa Fe Trail are within the Parks boundaries. Bobwhite, and coyote, dear and other birds spotted through the Park. CAUTION: Before you get to site 1, there are 2 trees the one on the left has the scars to show the damage it has done to taller vehicles(we are 13.11 and just received a slight raspberry a couple layers of self leveling caullk and all is good for now!).

Had a great time camping here in early spring. Although the night was chilly & windy, this grassland provided us a comfortable place to sleep and a very peaceful night.

Not very many spots but nice fishing at small ponds. One pond has ADA access
