"We went in the entrance off the main road and had to weave around to the site but believe there is an entrance off the dirt road right before the park.. (refer to a satellite view vs GPS)"
"Little highway noise, for $10 with electric and water, it’s perfect! Good sunset view, small pond ( requires membership to fish) lots of birds around."
$25 / night
"I don't know how long Cimarron Park has been around. But I get the feeling that it hasn't been long. Very nice, young rv park (Great Value) that will be even better with age."
"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. 50 to 82 have 20 feet of grassy space between sites, I"
"Some noise from road and train close by. Overall quite comfortable. Sites good size. Park next to rig."

"It was around 40 some miles from the Interstate& all we saw were fields upon fields & no trees. The husband was grumbling when we turned off on the road to Lake Scott."
$23 - $24 / night
"This was our last stop in our Tour de Kansas. The landscape felt more like the west than the flatlands of Kansas we had come to love. We pulled in on a Thurs. The campground was almost empty."
"Just a mile away all you can see is the flat flat farmlands of KS and then the road dips down into the canyon and you're in another world with a spring fed lake and shady cottonwood trees, mesas and rock"

"Plenty of grassy area behind site 27 for kids to play. Nice cheap water park within walking distance, park, and free zoo. Boot Hill Museum across the street."
"Behind our site and a bunch others is a large grassy area perfect for kids to play. Within walking distance is a super affordable water park, free zoo, playground, and Boot Hill Museum."
"Nestled just outside Garner State Park has some great scenery."
"Growing up in southwest Kansas it is difficult to take a quick weekend trip anywhere close. Horsethief sure changed that."
"Having a lake this close is a treat even if it’s not a big lake. I don’t fish but see and hear fish jumping all the time."
ScoutGreat little campground. Water hydrant at all the sights in our little camp area. Lots of space at each site with table and fire pit. Not all pits have grates. There is no toilet at this little camp area but there is flush bathrooms and showers within 1/2 mile.
ScoutWe arrived around 11:00pm. There was one other camper in the parking lot with us, but the lot is huge and we were far enough away we couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear our crying baby. Only downside is the hike to use the bathrooms. If you're comparing this to a rest stop or Walmart parking lot, this was way better. No trucks in and out all night, no traffic from the road, just the white noise of the hotel HVAC. Very well lit, cameras throughout the lot, felt very safe overall.
TravelerEasy set up reservation was ready for us, even though the office was closed. They left instructions and map to park in our spot. Great location near downtown.
RangerReserveAmerica for reservations. This campground was not included in TD. Some 90°backins. Pay attention to the map and description when reserving. Not very level where I was. No toilets in this CG. Nearest is about 1/3 mile away - vault toilet. Pretty area.
GuideThis 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.
LegendThis campground was on track for 5-stars until I used the shower facilities the next morning. 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, so I couldn't blow dry my hair. My husband said water pressure and temperature wasn't an issue for him in the shower building that didn't have the toilets/vanity... but again, no toilets/sinks in the shower rooms. Despite the shower houses, the staff is really friendly and the grounds are well-kept. The price is very reasonable for what you get here, too.
GuideHad parking lot to ourselves! Beautiful sunsets! Felt safe & enjoyed local muse & whiskey distillery!
TravelerGorgeous scenery but sites are on gravel or grass & not always level for our 30' 5th wheel. Verizon cell is available as is electricity & water. Dumping service is at the entrance. No bathrooms/shower in our Lake View campground. Large lake with lots of fisher folk. Quiet this time of year but over 700 spots around the lake.
GuideMost sites have full hook ups. The electric is in sort of a central pedestal, and people are snaking cords to it 4 campers per pedestal No showers or bathrooms. My site did not have a dump. $32 Rather expensive for no amenities Right off the highway Lots of nice trees so there’s shade Not too noisy Many big rigs here I have T-Mobile and I had only one bar
