    Gunsmoke RV Park

    Nicely Separated Campsites

    This Campground has one of the most separated sites of the places we've stayed. Most of the sites at the rear part of the park have spaces separated by one's own grassy area and trees, where the picnic table is situated. There's a vice of 50 or 30 amp power, water, dump, showers/bathrooms, laundry, game room and pool. We had to arrive after office closure and the owner was very accommodating about sending our space number, map to the site, and codes by text. WiFi has a password, unlike a few other places with unprotected WiFi.

    Gunsmoke RV Park

    Compared to other campgrounds in Kansas, maybe 4 stars.

    Keep in mind, we haven’t found any five-star campgrounds in Kansas, and a shortage of campgrounds in general, so we were glad to find this perfectly adequate, safe space with level gravel pads close together. Full hookups. The best thing about it is its proximity to Dodge City.

    Gunsmoke RV Park

    Noisy

    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.

    Dodge City KOA

    Clean, Quiet and New Campground

    Campground was a little difficult to find the entrance to, but once we found it we had no problems with the rest of our stay.  Campground was quite and fully paved.  The kids enjoyed riding their bikes and scooters while we relaxed at our spot.  Plenty of room to pull in and out of spots.  The common buildings were all new and very well kept.  Highly recommend if you are in Dodge City.

    Good overnight stop

    Older park but well maintained. WiFi is slow. Cell service is good. Site spacing is excellent. The pool was clean. Sites near entrance may be an issue with highway noise and an active railroad nearby.

Guide to Dodge City

Cabin camping near Dodge City, Kansas offers multiple accommodation options within 30 miles of this historic western town. Located in southwestern Kansas at an elevation of 2,500 feet, the area experiences hot summers and cold winters with relatively low annual rainfall. The region's prairie landscape provides open vistas with limited natural shade at most camping facilities.

What to do

Water recreation: access: Horse Thief Reservoir provides lake access for fishing, swimming and boating about 30 miles north of Dodge City. "I don't fish but see and hear fish jumping all the time. It's new so the trees haven't grown to provide a ton of shade yet but great value for the price and location," notes Matthew G. about Horse Thief Reservoir.

Local attractions: walking distance: Some cabin accommodations put you within walking distance of Dodge City's western heritage sites. "Within walking distance is a super affordable water park, free zoo, playground, and Boot Hill Museum," writes Samantha S. about Dodge City KOA.

Casino access: nearby: Several cabin locations provide convenient access to gaming. "Close to casino and shopping," mentions Keri F. regarding cabin accommodations in the area.

What campers like

Concrete pads: level sites: Newer cabin and RV sites feature concrete pads for stability. "Nice large concrete pads. Plenty of grassy area behind site 27 for kids to play," reports Dustin S.

Space between sites: privacy: Some locations offer more separation between accommodations. "This Campground has one of the most separated sites of the places we've stayed. Most of the sites at the rear part of the park have spaces separated by one's own grassy area and trees," shares Grace D. about Gunsmoke RV Park.

Security features: gated access: "They have a code on the entrance gate and bathroom and laundry doors. The gate is open during the day and closes at night," notes James L., highlighting security measures at some facilities.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: wind exposure: The open prairie landscape means wind can be a factor for cabin campers. "Come to find out, it is very windy here, so awnings are not used very often," explains Missy A.

Noise factors: highway proximity: Some cabin locations experience more noise than others. "Sites 50 through 82 are in the back away from the highway and very quiet. 33 through 44 are back in sites and front the highway and are noisier," advises Paul Y. about Gunsmoke RV Park.

Advance preparation: reservation timing: Facilities fill quickly during peak seasons. "Spots can fill up quick so be sure you call ahead. However, there are plenty of primitive spots that have room most weekends," suggests Cody regarding Horse Thief Reservoir.

Tips for camping with families

Recreation options: water activities: "Nice cheap water park within walking distance, park, and free zoo," mentions Dustin S., highlighting family-friendly activities near some cabin locations.

Play spaces: grassy areas: Some cabin sites include open areas for children. "Behind our site and a bunch others is a large grassy area perfect for kids to play," notes Samantha S. about Dodge City KOA.

Shower facilities: variable quality: Bathroom facilities vary between properties. "I used the shower building that had the toilet and vanity all in one room; the water pressure got weaker the hotter the water was and the electrical outlets don't work," reports Meghan B. about Horse Thief Reservoir.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: location matters: Choose sites strategically based on noise considerations. "We would highly recommend getting a site in the back. Sites 50-80. Less noise, long pull throughs and nice wide grass areas," advises Missy A.

Wi-Fi access: connection quality: Internet availability varies by location. "The wifi was not very strong or was too busy, so we used our own hot spot," notes one RVer about their stay.

Check-in procedures: after-hours arrival: Some facilities accommodate late arrivals. "We had to arrive after office closure and the owner was very accommodating about sending our space number, map to the site, and codes by text," explains Grace D.
