    Walt's Four Seasons Campground & Country Store

    Exceptional family friendly campground!!

    In June of 2023, my husband& I decided to move into our 42' toy hauler. We searched& searched within a 30-minute radius of our property that we had bought for a campground with great amenities and where we would feel safe with our 2 babies. Walt's is by far the safest, friendliest, fun-filled campground compared to any of the others we visited around. We were greeted with friendly faces and welcoming staff from our very first day of move-in. They made sure we got settled& hooked up ok and have continued to make us feel right at home. My husband is a truck driver so isn't always home when things go wrong with the camper. The staff has always been there to help when something happens especially when we have had issues with propane leaks, or the heater not working during the colder temps. This campground offers put-put course, swimming pool with poolside pub, horseshoes, catch& release fishing, walking trail, small dog park, playground for children, shower houses/restrooms, laundry facility, on site gas station, a country store with made to order pizzas, sandwiches& tex mex! They do several family friendly events throughout the year. At the country store they have anything of convenience that you may need from toiletries, drinks, snacks, ice cream, games, books, alcoholic beverages, etc. We absolutely love staying here. The sites have been freshly graveled. During the summer the lawn, gardens, pool, etc. Were maintained regularly and they are constantly doing updates weekly here. The best part it is also right off I-70. For long term campers that are truckers they do have a small area for semis. They also have a rentable party room inside the country store as well as outdoor areas for party rentals!

    Rocky Ford Campground — Tuttle Creek State Park

    Rocky Ford campground space 141

    Very shady, right off the water. A little steep to actually get to the waters edge. Fire rings with grills and picnic table. Lantern hook with water and 30 & 50 amp electric hookups. Back in spot would be a little tight for a bigger travel trailer but not bad.

    Canning Creek

    Not a bad site in the entire campground!

    General: Canning Creek is one of six camping areas operated by the US Army Corp of Engineers on Council Grove Lake. It is spread out on the lake so that all but four sites- 24, 26, 27& 28 (and the group camping areas) are directly on the water. Even though there were only a handful of people camping when we were there on a Monday in mid-April, there was an attendant on duty until 8 pm. 

    Site Quality/Facilities: Most sites have generous concrete pads, some of which could easily accommodate two vehicles, a concrete picnic table (covered by a shelter), a bbq, and a lantern hook. Some sites are reservable and others are not. The rates are very reasonable, as they are for all CoE campgrounds, especially for seniors. All sites have reasonable separation between them. On the map, sites 6-23 look to be very close together but they are reasonably distanced apart. Sites 1-5 (which are not reservable) have very long pull-through drives. All sites (except the group sites) have electric and water and some have 50 amp (these are noted on the map) 

    Bathhouse: Some loops have vault toilets (which were very clean), some have flush toilets, and some have flush toilet/shower combos. None have soap dispensers. We were in site 46 with access to one of the combos. I appreciated the hot water, especially since we woke to snow the next morning! Sites 1-23 have a vault toilet but there is a flush facility within reasonable walking distance. 

    Activities/Amenities: Swimming, fishing, and boating in season but we were passing through, so we did not participate. Minimal playground facilities (mostly in the loop with sites 1-23) and horseshoe pits. There was a hiking trail, but I did not explore it. 

    We always have a good experience at a CoE campground – they are well run, clean, affordable and, of course, located on or near water. My only beef is that check-in time is 6 pm, although if it is not crowded, you could check in earlier.

    River Pond State Park Campground

    Nice State Park

    The is a nice clean Kansas State Park. Lots of shady spots. Easy access to walking trails and water activities. Fire pits and picnic tables at every site. Most sites are only water and electric. There are only a half dozen or so full hook up sites and they are generally always full during camping season. There are two dump stations on site. This park is close to home for us and we camp here often.

    Mill creek campground

    Charming Campground with Railroad History

    This is a charming little campground, and I do not use the word“charming” often. It is charming because it has so many quaint relics of the past, including the town itself. At the entrance to the campground, there is a building covered with old signs, hubcaps, etc. As a photographer, I couldn’t be happier to have the opportunity begin taking pictures immediately. As we drove down the road to our campsite, we came across such oddities as a bicycle halfway up a windmill, an old original train depot with an antique threshing machine next to it, and more. The campsites are flat and fairly spacious. We were lucky that the campground was not at full capacity because many of the sites are in pairs. Our pull-through site was within inches of the adjacent pull-through site. Although there was no picnic table at our site, we could have used one on the adjacent site, and we brought our own table. The site did have a fire pit, but we arrived late and didn’t have time to worry about getting wood. There are seasonal and permanent campers at the campground, and you have to reserve early during peak seasons. I talked to one person at the campground and he said that it was booked up one time when he wanted to stay. Although the site we got was gravel and pull-through, there are sites without power by the creek, in case you want to tent camp or just don’t need hookups. The bath house was clean, and the owner told me that it is sanitized every day. The shower stalls are spacious and there is hot water. There is a playground for kids and activities for older people—basketball, corn hole, etc. The only drawback is that you can hear trains passing through during the night about three or four times. It didn’t bother me since I love the sound of trains, but it does wake you up since the tracks are so close to the campground. The town is within walking distance of the campground, and it is worth walking(or driving) to it. The buildings are interesting architecturally, and the town is known for antiques. Overall, I really liked this campground. It may not have all of the amenities of the larger campgrounds, but it is quiet(except for the trains) and peaceful.

    Canning Creek

    Small, quiet COE on the lake

    This is a small park - 43 reservable sites with electric and water hookups. Most sites face the water and are shaded. They have fire pits and a covered cerment picnic table. Sites are fairly level and good size with a gravel pad. It is a very nice campground

    Stockdale

    Secluded ACOE Campground

    Well maintained, gravel sites with good electric and water hookups. Dump station also provided attached hose to allow black tank flush. Verizon cell service and digital TV signal were strong. Visited Manhattan, KS and Oz Museum in Wamego, KS. Plenty to do in the area and this campground provided a nice, secluded base. Boat ramps available to allow access to Kansas’ 2nd largest lake.


Guide to Fort Riley

Camping options near Fort Riley, Kansas include several campgrounds with lakeside access and varying levels of amenities. The region features the 16,000-acre Milford Lake with multiple camping areas along its shoreline. Summer temperatures typically range from 75-90°F, while spring and fall camping seasons offer milder weather in the 60-75°F range with occasional thunderstorms.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Acorn RV Resort offers catch-and-release fishing on the lake, with clear water conditions. "A very beautiful lake, this area is pristine clean and water clear. A very large lake with many areas of camping and fishing," notes camper Papa T.

Visit historic sites: Camp at Covered Wagon RV Resort to explore nearby attractions in Abilene. "It's just down the street from President Dwight D Eisenhower presidential museum and library. If you get the chance visit the early 1900's wooden Carousel and old Abilene historic buildings," reports camper Cande D.

Water recreation: Several campgrounds provide direct lake access for swimming and boating. At Thunderbird Marina & RV Resort, campers enjoy water activities and additional recreation options. "Great place to be right by the water. There is all kinds of outdoor fun for kids too such as playgrounds and a basketball court!" says Jacob B.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many RV parks offer generous spacing between sites. At West Rolling Hills, campers appreciate the layout. "The sites are far apart, some have large trees, and all seemed to be by the lake. We got a site with full hookups at half the regular $24, with a senior pass," shares Edith L.

Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness ranks high in camper reviews. Smoky Hill RV Park maintains well-kept grounds and amenities. "Well-maintained campground. Modern bathrooms and showers. Everything is very clean. Laundry room ($0.25 required)," notes Martin-Charles S.

What you should know

Seasonal closures: Some campgrounds close during winter months. "All the Corps campgrounds close for the winter. This info was not on their website, so I drove out there. There are dispersed sites available, but with nighttime temps being below freezing I opted to find an electric hookup elsewhere," advises camper Mimi about West Rolling Hills.

Highway noise levels: Several campgrounds sit near Interstate 70, creating noise concerns. Smoky Hill RV Park experiences this issue: "Very close to Highway 70 (you can hear the vehicles) and services (gas, restaurants, Walmart)," reports Martin-Charles S.

Weekend crowding: Flagstop Resort and RV sees significant changes between weekday and weekend camping. "Was not crowded at all throughout the whole week but gets crazy on the weekend with people loud and partying until 1am or so," shares Tamisha S.

Tips for camping with families

Recreation options: Look for campgrounds with dedicated kid spaces. "Nice camp store and pond. Cute put put course. Staff very attentive and nice," notes Kelly D. about Walt's Four Seasons Campground.

Swimming areas: West Rolling Hills offers beach access for family swimming. "The main draw to this area is the swimming beach which is the best of the parks offerings with sandy bars and well maintained grassy areas for shade," explains Crystal C.

Entertainment variety: Calvin's RV & Tent Camping provides a quieter family option with proximity to other attractions. "A small RV park on the east edge of Wamego KS. The grounds are well maintained and quiet. Just 20 min from Manhattan," notes Zach L.

Tips from RVers

Leveling conditions: Many campgrounds feature level sites ideal for larger RVs. "Our site was very level with about 15-18 foot swath of grass on either side," reports Cande D. about Covered Wagon RV Resort.

Hookup access: Verify specific hookup availability before arrival. At Acorn RV Resort, full hookups accommodate various RV sizes. "Traveled in 38' Class A Motorhome. Totally awesome resort - everything you need... Nestled on a beautiful lake," shares Sandi F.

Weather considerations: Wind conditions can impact RV camping comfort. "Many lakefront sites, scenic & quiet. Very windy during our stay. A great place to just come & relax," notes Bob M. about West Rolling Hills.
