In the middle of seemingly no where... Great one night stop. A few electronic &amp; water hook ups. No dump station that I've found. Dogs should be on leash, but no one here and no one to bother.

Very minimal.

If you play on the water, then this might just work for you. There were no water hook ups.  There is power available but every site is shared so no privacy. They are under trees so shade was good.  Sites are unimproved and very soft when wet. Folks are generally nice.

Great water sport stop.

Nice quiet place with covered picnic tables (a bit weathered) , pretty level grassy spots. ~8 - 30 amp (no 50 amp) w water... and some more primitive camp spots as well. We were the only ones there so it was a great stop for $10! Stayed May 2021 - was dry when we arrived, rained that night - no problems leaving. We went in the entrance off the main road and had to weave around to the site but believe there is an entrance off the dirt road right before the park.. (refer to a satellite view vs GPS)

Great overnight stay

Quiet spot, 2 miles out of town. Little highway noise, for $10 with electric and water, it’s perfect! Good sunset view, small pond ( requires membership to fish) lots of birds around. 

Quiet and empty

We stopped on the way home to Colorado. It's cheap, level and has 30 amp power and water. Cell coverage is a solid 4bar 4g LTE with Verizon.

For $10 bucks it works. We came through in November and the water was turned off. It has a bathroom but we didn't use it so I can't report on its condition. The park was clean. 

Good for a stop over

Evrything in the other reviews is accurate except for the water. That review was in August. I am here now in very late November. The water is turned off. But electricity and a flat spot of dirt for 10 bucks is a great deal. The only downside is there is really no view. The land is flat in all directions. There are three ponds in the area which are marked membership only. It looks like they are very low, One is dry. There are four pairs of flat campsites on sandy dirt and a little grass. Each pair share an electric pedestal with 2 30 W outlets. Likewise each pair of sites share a pair of picnic tables under a weather shelter. Outside of town. You can hardly hear the highway

Plain and simple flat chunk of dirt, cheap. With electric!

Close to a small town. Cheap ($10/night for 30 amp &amp; water). Great to recharge the batteries. Small playground, a bit run down. Quiet with few people. Small pond &amp; mulberry trees. 


Cheap water & electric sites

It’s flat, easy to get to.. bathrooms are just okay. Not the cleanest, but it’s something. Each spot has water and electric. Plus a covered shelter with picnic tables. For $10 can’t beat it

Easy yet secluded

What a great surprise after looking at several campgrounds as far East as Dodge City we found this gem.
