Nice grassy area with nice showers and restrooms. Medium size pond with a small pavillon and large grill. Dock needs maintenance. Some long term residents. Rough gravel roads two miles into and out of property, but only about 2 miles south of Hwy 400

We only picked this location based on our cross country road trip. We only needed one night, but had to pay for two nights (it was on a weekend, but this place was no where near full, so the demand isn’t there to warrant a 2 night requirement). On top of that, we had to pay another $5 just to enter the park to get to our campsite. Campers near us looked like they were living there full time. The sites in the grass by the lake seemed to be much nicer when we drove by. Our gravel site was filled with any hills and micro trash. Campers 2 sites down from us was full of kids throwing their empty caprisun drinks on the ground (not the parks fault). Also the bathrooms are extremely dated and gross. Not sure what they are using the entrance fee for, but it doesn’t appear to be for upkeep.
ScoutNice campsite, tons of sites with nobody else here. Not buggy either.

GuideSimple but nice park with decent amenities. Water (in March), Electricity and city WiFi. Playground, disc golf, shelters, basket ball court. Self pay box at $15.00. No picnic tables or individual fire pits but sweet for an overnight.
Guide
We stayed overnight with our trailer en route. There are specific sites available year round that have water and electric available. These are located in the Marina and Lakeside campgrounds on the East side. The water spigots are insulated. 50 amp available at Marina campground only. 30 amp at both. Being winter, it’s pretty sparse, dry, and windy. For an overnight, it was an affordable stay.
My only complaint is that the available sites aren’t clearly communicated. We drive to every site until we found the right one. Wish they would update that info for winter camping.
Dump stations available! Unfortunately not for human consumption (see pic) :D

The park was clean and friendly. I loved the dog park so I could let my pups run free. The laundry facility was very helpful so i didnt have to travel to find one. There was free wifi in the park as well, which my kids loved. There is a very pretty pond area on the property, with very nice walking trails. Wichita, KS is very close by with lots of fun things to do. Enjoyed my time there, will def stay there again if back in the area!

This is a small, older campground. It is clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We probably are a little late in the season, not real busy (early November). Hookups all work, no problems. Sites are gravel and maybe a little rutted, some more gravel would help level things up. I don’t know exactly how KOA differentiates between Holidays and Journeys but this seems more like other Journeys we’ve stayed at.

Gravel sites. Great, robust WIFI. Clean, modern bathrooms and showers.
Traveler
Nice spot right next to the lake, very pretty and peaceful.
TravelerBeautiful lake, sites right next to the water.
GuideWalnut River RV Park is a city park next to the river with a few shade trees. Complete with boat ramp and terribly stinky bathroom. No electric outlets. No showers.
Guide
Pleasant small family owned campground. Lyndel was very sweet. Hot showers with lots of water pressure, laundry room and full hookup. If you need a spot to take a break from driving, this is a nice spot.
Scout
It was easy thank you very much
Guide
Electric, water, restrooms and coin-operated showers. Located on the highway so there is highway noise but plenty of shade trees. Small convenience snack store next door. Needs some repairs and newer picnic tables but better than many places.
ScoutRent kayak, tent and rv friendly. Fishing and hiking. No Wi-Fi but there are usually two bars.
TravelerWe love camping here because the campsites are decent size and they have cabins for our family without campers or tents. We also enjoy the lake and playgrounds for the kids. It is close to home but a nice getaway.
Scout
Seems like a nice spot for the night. I appear to be the only person here tonight but have had several cars drive through. There is a vault toilet here but no doors. I dont see any trash cans here. I can hear a little road noise but I also hear lots of nature noises. Birds, frogs, owls and more. I would probably stop here again if it was on my way.
TravelerNice campground, friendly staff, very nice patio on slott with fire pit, table, chairs and covered swing
Scout

Scout

RangerAlso known As: Camp The Range
Just outside of Wichita, near WSU is this tucked away tree lined RV park. There are a lot of monthly campers (remote workers, nurses, etc), but mostly all have very nice setups!! Very clean park.
We stayed overnight on our way to Colorado. It’s a bit pricey, but there are pull through sites, full hookups, clean bathrooms with showers - which we utilized so we didn’t have to empty our tanks, laundry, and a full kitchen.
The bathrooms were clean with adequate pressure and warmth.
The game room/kitchen had plenty of books and entertainment. The actual kitchen area was great to have so again, we didn’t have to use our tanks to wash dishes.
Didn’t do laundry but looked like plenty of machines.
The back end of the park has a big stretch for dogs to run around and exercise. They provide bags and bins in two locations.
There’s also a playground, we just didn’t venture down that way.
Wi-Fi works great. Able to update some apps and stream on our Roku bar.
Only complaint is how on top of each other the trailers are, but that being said, it worked out great for our needs!
Traveler
I love this place. There are even locals that camp out here and are fun and friendly. Sometimes they will even start playing music and encourage to even jump in or just sit and listen.
TravelerSeveral sites along the river but separated by foliage. Grounds are well maintained as is the vault toilets.
Scout
The small park is located in a commercial area but has fairly close access to downtown Wichita. It does have a small dog park and playground set an is good enough for a overnight visit.
TravelerIt was $32 to stay the night, and the showers were coin-op. The view over the lake was gorgeous when we woke up, but we were sandwiched between the lake and the main entry road.
Scout
Very nice woodsy campground. You must reserve in advance. We were able to fit in more trailers than the reservation said. Fairly clean bathrooms that are very close to this site.
