Kansas hidden gem
We got here super late after being on the road all day. Picnic tables and fire pits are at each designated site, but no other amenities. Lake is beautiful. It was very quiet.

TravelerKanapolis Drive In
Best Surprise Roadside Attraction Ever!
I happened to look up and see a billboard saying Kannapolis Drive-in so I looked it up online and noticed they had a button for camping at the drive-in. For not a very huge fee you can watch two movies get one of the best drive-in burgers, and loaded fries I’ve ever had, have available bathrooms and Park and camp all night long here in this lovely little drive-in. I am so excited I found this and I hope more people keep coming to it so that it doesn’t have to go away like the rest of the drive-ins in the country. It’s a few minutes off of that main drag of I 70 but well worth the drive . Come by if you’re driving cross country, it’s a great place to stop!

Bad t mobile and limited starlink at the current site
Seems like a nice place, but we just arrived. It’s late at night and there’s no signal and for some reason the Starlink is not working well.
Logan E.TravelerStafford City RV park
Perfect little campsite
The highway isn’t loud and the silo nearby creates the perfect white noise. It’s basically a parking lot and is nearly perfectly level. I did not have to make any adjustments. There is a dump site nearby. 6 sites total and as long as you don’t have a massive rig, you can drive through. Every 2 sites share water but there are splits available. The water pressure is slightly low but good enough. Each sites have 20/30/50 amp connections. There is a dollar general nearby if you need food.

Kanas Park make me day

The affordable nightly rate also makes it an appealing option for campers, although the uneven or difficult-to-level sites and occasional maintenance concerns are worth keeping in mind.
Larger RVs may also need to take extra care when choosing a suitable site. Overall, Lake Afton Park appears to have a good mix of outdoor recreation and basic camping conveniences, with the lake providing a pleasant backdrop for a water hookups for$14-$15 relaxing trip. It would be interesting to visit during a season when the water conditions are clear and enjoy the park by bike or around a campfire.

The combination of full-hookup sites, clean showers and restrooms, strong WiFi, a dump station, propane filling station, and coin laundry makes it especially practical for guests who need a reliable place to stop and recharge during their travels.

The nature trail and dog park are great additions for guests traveling with pets or simply wanting a little time outdoors. While some visitors have mentioned that the sites can feel close together, others appreciate the level #10-13 spaces and peaceful surroundings, so the experience may depend somewhat on the individual site and personal preferences.
Overall, All Seasons RV Park appears to offer the practical amenities and convenient location that make a good overnight or short-term RV stop. The helpful management, evening office availability, easy reservations, and preparation for after-hours arrivals are particularly useful for travelers on the road.

Lakeside RV Park
Worst
Stayed here one night passing through. That was too long. Almost all sites are taken by older trailers that are long term. I saw a 5 star rating and thought $40 was a good price. That is $50 to much. The 1 !/2 mile gravel road from the highway to campsite was as rough a washboard as I have driven on, no potholes just rough. I seldom leave negative reviews but fellow campers passing through need to be warned.
