High Plains Camping

High Plains Camping accommodates RVs up to 70 feet with full hookups across level gravel sites. Located just off Interstate 70 in western Kansas, the campground provides convenient highway access, though Joseph H. notes "there is a little noise from the highway" that "wasn't bad and didn't bother me at all." Self check-in after hours operates on a cash-only basis.

The campground sits in open prairie with scattered trees that help reduce wind exposure. Several reviewers mention the expansive views across the high plains, with one camper positioned "back in the corner" to watch Kansas sunsets. Sites in sections 300 and 400 offer the most space for larger rigs. Water pressure runs strong even during freezing temperatures, and utilities maintain reliability year-round.

Facilities include clean shower houses with hot water and good pressure, plus an on-site laundry room. The campground features over 800 DVDs available for borrowing and maintains WiFi access. A gas station sits across the street, while Grub n Chug cafe serves pizza and beer on-site. Cap'n Jack's Pub next door delivers food directly to RV sites. Kim N. appreciated the "big clean, hot and free showers with good water pressure."

Cell coverage works well for both AT&T and Verizon users. The campground operates under new management since 2022, with plans for facility improvements underway. Goat head burrs grow in the area, making closed-toe shoes advisable. For travelers seeking additional options in the region, campgrounds near Oakley provide alternatives along the I-70 corridor.

High Plains Camping serves primarily as a reliable overnight stop for cross-country travelers needing full hookups and basic amenities rather than a destination campground.

Many campers appreciated the spacious, level sites with reliable full hookups and praised the friendly, helpful management. Highway noise is present but most found it manageable, making this a solid overnight stop.

Short Notice Overnight

I stopped overnight here on my way back to Colorado from Thanksgiving in Kansas. I needed to escape the wind. Self check in after hours was fairly simple (cash only). Sites were easy to navigate, long and level. I had 5gUW reception with Verizon. Would stay here again. New owners were very nice.

Everything You Need

If you’re looking for a dream destination, then keep going until you get deep into Colorado. This is not a vacation destination, but it certainly has everything you need. I stayed here for 4 nights and my site had electric, water, and sewer. The water pressure was great and I didn’t have a any issues with utilities even though temperatures dropped to 12 degrees outside. It’s close to the highway, which is convenient, but there is a little noise from the highway. The noise wasn’t bad and didn’t bother me at all. The campground has laundry and bathrooms on site. There’s also a gas station across the street and a Mexican restaurant right next to the campground. For western Kansas, this place is top notch. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Great pizza

High Plains Camping is under new ownership and management since 2022. The managers, Jana and Andy are very wonderful, very helpful. They have a lot of plans to reconstruct the facility. It’s tired, but clean. They do have a cafe “Grub n Chug”. Great pizza and beer at a reasonable price. The camp sites in section 300/400 are spacious with full utilities.

Easy access, kind, and clean.

I stopped for just one night on my way to Colorado in a baby 13 foot travel trailer and they were kind enough to put me back in the corner so I could watch the beautiful Kansas Sunset, and away from the big rigs. Big clean, hot and free showers with good water pressure.

Nice clean rv park

Friendly folks running the show, very good size sites for long rigs and all hookups work great. Only downside is the goats head burs are present. Don’t walk around barefoot you’ll regret it.

An oasis along the flats of Kansas

Solid hookups, comfortable pool, it’s super breezy here in the high plains and they’ve got some trees to help cut it down but it’s the high plains! Over 800 DVD’s to borrow and we’re headed to the on-site pub now!

Highway Hookups

Nice older place to stop from all that highway driving! Water, sewer and electric in an open, somewhat treed campground. Relatively quiet being as close to the highway as it is. Ordered food from Cap'n Jack's Pub which was delivered to our RV. Food was good pub food! Covid protocols in place!

Great Place for an Overnight Stop

Traveling back across Kansas on I-70, this was a perfect overnight spot with hookups and clean bathrooms on site.

Not much to do other than have a drink and watch the beautiful sunset.
