Best Campgrounds near Dodge City, KS

This place is set up like a picnic area more than a camping area; no electric, no water. no particular camp spots, complete boondocking style. A favorite local fishing spot, but cleared out by nightfall. No flush toilets and pods were pretty filthy while I'm here, but it's early in the season. Surely they will have them cleaned up and window replaced in men's before season really starts. The toilets are the reason for just avg rating. Everything else was very nice.

Nice quiet place to stay. Called one hour before arrival, with no problems. Very nice campground. Totally recommend. Very responsible priced.

We just stopped to overnight so we didn't take advantage of all the amenities. Campground was clean and well kept. We had no issues hooking up and got a restful nights sleep aside from the occasional train.

We stayed here in June for two nights on a road trip north. Front section of spots 1-43 are close to the road and it is very noisy. They made these front sites big rig friendly by using the site next to yours for unhooking your tow or towed vehicle. We were put in the front section due to a large work crew taking up a lot of spaces in the back section.  We could not open our awning in the first assigned spot, so the staff was accommodating and moved us over one spot. Come to find out, it is very windy here, so awnings are not used very often. We would highly recommend getting a site in the back. Sites 50-80. Less noise, long pull throughs and nice wide grass areas. The wifi was not very strong or was too busy, so we used our own hot spot. This is conveniently located close to Dodge City attractions.

We stopped here on our way back home from New Mexico. It was a clean, quite campground. The bathrooms were clean. Parking pads were level. We arrived afterhours, and used an envelope to pay. The payment system was pretty confusing. The pay envelopes stated different rates than the website, which also is different than what the employee told us on the phone. 

We would stay here again if we needed to stop over night in the area.

An obvious camping loop with picnic tables had one small car parked in a spot when I got here. He woke up and drove away. I saw another couple people sitting in a car at the stop sign. Looked suspicious to me. The flattest most level site I could find is barely adequate. All the rest have quite a tilt.

Found this on the app. Showed up and it’s totally slept on!! I will be back because I regularly drive through the area on my way to Arizona.

I felt safe. There was bathrooms. It was quiet for the most part.

There is limited parking but it is December and I was vehicle 2/2. Picnic tables and I slept through the night well!

If need to stop and want a full hook-up for $20, give this place a try. The camp ground manager, Monica, was very helpful and proactive. She ensured we had a 50 amp FHU pull-thru. There is not much around so you better be self sufficient. There are several gas stations, a small Dillon's grocery and a Family Dollar store. There is a road on the backside of the campground and a large open field to walk your dogs if you have them. We are going back through the area in Feb and will stay here again, but not sure what that looks like in a Kansas winter.

Lots of trash look like methlab has been out there very Do not go here

They have no idea what the Dyrt is or the 40% discount for pro members

We just stayed there over night and did the late check in but it worked great for us. Just needed water and electricity but they have all the options.

While we did not actually stay here, I wish we had. We had to reroute to avoid flooding, storms, tornadoes. We stayed at a public park down the highway a way that felt more like a truck stop. In the morning, we realized we were in need of a dump station. Not only was this rv park the closest, but they had to have been the nicest, and it was immaculate. If you’re looking for an easy off-on with large rig-friendly pull-through pads, this is your spot. I am not affiliated with this outfit; I was not paid in any way to endorse it, in fact, they wouldn’t even let me pay. We will definitely be back as paying over-nighters sometime in the near future. 😁

All hookups function properly, gravel sites fairly level and easy to access. Laundry and showers available, have not used them yet. Bad time of year for exploring the area. Still very arid and dry this spring. No complaints about the park.

$60 a night

The sites are gravel and have their own picnic tables. Didn't realize kansas could be so beautiful! Nice view of the lake

I stayed two different nights this week. I was there Tuesday night and Friday night. Tuesday night I had the place to myself. Friday night just had two other rigs there. I wouldn't recommend this place to big rigs. The vault toilets were trashed Tuesday and out of TP. Friday the trash was picked up and TP was stocked. Vault toilets were a bit gross, but they did their job. Toilets are a bit of a walk from the camp sites.

I tent camped at Meade State Park in July 2022. I was the only camper in the Larrabee campground. I picked site 143 because trees almost totally shade it. There was one travel trailer in the Sagebrush campground loop. There were more RVs on the northeast edge of the small lake. I arrived around 4pm and spread out my gear to dry after camping in the rain in Iowa the previous night. It was sunny and breezy and my stuff dried quickly. Then I walked 200 yards to the beach and swam in the lake. It was very refreshing in that summer heat. Afterwards I took a cold shower in the shower house that is connected to the visitor center, which was inexplicably closed on a Wednesday. There was a sign to run the shower until it heats up. Well, I didn’t wait and just took the cold shower, which was also refreshing. After I pitched my then dry tent, I walked the 2 miles around the whole lake. I didn’t want to just hang out at my camp site because there were biting flies that interestingly stopped biting around 7pm and I enjoyed the evening at my site after the swim, shower, and walk. It was a nice waypoint on my road trip.
