Dodge City Roadside Park

Managed by the city of Dodge City, this roadside park along a busy highway functions as a free, drive-in overnight stop rather than a developed campground. Sites are level and include picnic tables, firepits, and charcoal grills. It's free. Traffic noise and train horns are consistent factors, so light sleepers should come prepared with earplugs. Campers passing through western Kansas who want a no-cost, no-reservation stop will find Ford Lake State Park Campground a more developed alternative a few miles north. Cell service is available, pets are welcome, and rigs up to 50 feet can pull in without issue.
