    Ellis Lakeside Campground

    Nice

    Quick in - quick set up. Pretty setting right near a large creek - large trees for shade. Bathroom and shower but very old and a little sketchy. A lot of locals driving through - hoping that will stop after dark. Fairly level sites - a few spots for tents and pull throughs with gravel pads for RV’s with power and water. Dump station. Picnic tables and grill and/or fire ring

    Triple J RV Park

    Good for overnight

    We called ahead to see if they had sites available for the night. Arrived just before the office closed at 7pm. Got a pull-through full-hookups site. The campsite pads are level, nice and wide, gravel like the roads, with wide grassy/dirt/gravel areas between and beautiful mature shade trees everywhere. Also several friendly cats acting as camp hosts, welcoming us at the office when we checked in, greeting us every time we stepped out of our rig, and checking out all the campsites and trees regularly. ☺️ Our site had a picnic table and a clay/Terra cotta statue of a bear eating honey, with a hole in his belly as a small fire ring. Most sites had a covered picnic table. Full hookups worked fine.

    Bathrooms were ok; dead crickets on the floor.

    We would stay here again.

    Big Bluestem Hell Creek Area Campground — Wilson State Park

    Perfect spot for camping, Kayaking, swimming, fishing, hiking, biking… or chillaxing!

    Big Bluestem Campground Site 78! Prime spot with large shade tree to block western sun. 20’ from water’s edge with path to drop kayaks in, swim or even sit lawn chairs into the water to cool off. Noted as largest saltwater and clearest lake in Kansas. 30/50A/120V and water hookups. Concrete pad. Clean showers a few hundred yards away. Trash bin in middle of loop. Marina two loops away; about 4 minute drive. Outstanding rock formations, reminds me of Utah. Water levels effect access to some formations. Great time, great weather, we’ll be back soon! T-Mobile service 1-4 bars. Streamed HotSpot for ROKU without issues.

    Ellis Lakeside Campground

    Calm & Convenient Place To Stay The Night

    Nothing fancy, but it was a great place to stop for the night. Both times I've stayed I arrived after dark and was only passing through, so I opted not to set up the tent and instead slept in my crossover, which is set up to sleep in. The area was well lit at night, and I felt very safe.

    The campground: It's small, mostly quiet, flat, and had a decent amount of shade. The area I stayed in had pull through spots that faced the water (a reservoir, I believe). There's a small dock on the water. My site included a picnic table, grill, and water spigot. I'm not sure about electric hookups and dump stations, since I have no need for those things. The bathrooms were clean, and had both toilets and showers.

    Booking: The campground does not take reservations, which I think is great, as it allows me to be a little more spontaneous. There's a self-pay station in front of the bathrooms near the entrance to the campground. I stayed here on a Monday night in late October, and had no problem getting a site. The cost depends on if you're there in the off-season or not, but I believe the most expensive fee is $25 for RVs.

    The area: Ellis is a small town. If you're arriving later in the evening I would recommend stopping to eat somewhere prior to arriving in Ellis. In the morning, I made a quick detour down the main street and saw a café, a pizza place, and a Mexican restaurant. There's also a railroad museum. The campground is pretty close to the highway; right off the highway are a couple gas stations with fast food places inside.

    Cell Service: I have Verizon, and my service was good enough to stream a live hockey game. The campground said it had WIFI, but I didn't try it out.

    Big Bluestem Hell Creek Area Campground — Wilson State Park

    AKA Big Bluestem

    This area is the Big Bluestem campground. There is a shower/restroom area at the beginning, hiking trails and primitive sites. Then you enter Big Bluestem campground which has two loops. One has pull through sites and the other has mostly back in sites. Each site has electric,water,fire ring,and picnic benches. There are some really nice views from the outer sites.

    Looking for a overnight on I-70?

    Great municipal campground halfway between KC and the Rockies. Nice back ins and pull through a with concrete pads, electric and water. First come first serve. Check out the town a few blocks away.

    Creek Side Resort

    Not bad. Not bad at all.

    The good things are the nice people who run the campground, the little store they have with all kinds of camping and RV stuff. They have a little pond with a dock and a paddle boat. Showers and restrooms are clean and private.

    It's not a scenic show-stopper. Gravel lots, but most are pull-through and easy to use. 

    We stayed in our pop-up camper that fell apart during a super intense storm. Not the campground's fault, but scared the tar out of us. They were nice enough to let me store the camper for a little over a week until I could come back with tools and parts to repair it.

    Super nice people. Nice town nearby. Great place to stay if you're going to be in Hays.

    Wakeeney KOA

    Great Overnight Spot

    I have stayed at this KOA twice on my way home from Rocky Mountain National Park. The park is right off I-70, the sites are all pull through and level so you don’t have to unhook - just pull in and relax. The staff is very friendly, the dog park is big and clean, and you can get a homemade grab-and-go breakfast on your way out the next morning.

    Ellis Lakeside Campground

    Conveniently close to I70

    General: We arrived just before 6 pm on a Sunday in mid-September and had our choice of lakefront sites but by 8 pm, it had filled in. There are other sites that are not lakefront and they would be ok if the lakefront ones were full but definitely not as desirable. The rates are reasonable -$20 for an RV site; $15 for tents (the tent area was just a grassy common area, and no one was staying there when we were there). Payment is on the honor system as there was no on-site host and as far as we could tell, no one checked to see that we had paid. 

    Sites/Facilities: Each site is very large and spaced a decent amount apart but there is no physical separation between them. Each has a large picnic table set on a concrete pad and electric hookups, however, be aware that you need a very long cord to reach the electric box. Ours did not make it but we were ok for one night without electric. We also could not get the water spigot to work but again, not a big deal for us for just an overnight. There is also a free common dump station. 

    Bathhouse: The bathrooms and showers were ok, but not great. They were cleaned very early in the morning. 

    Activities/Amenities: The small town of Ellis is within walking distance from the campground and although it was small, the town did have a lot of civic pride. There was good internet and free WiFi, although we did not try and access it. There was a small playground, but a sign was posted indicating it had not been disinfected during Covid and it was recommended it not be used. Fishing seemed to be a popular activity and there was a fishing/boat dock. 

    Conclusion: We could not hear much road noise during the day but as soon as it quieted down at night, the road noise from I70 was very loud all night long, however, this is a very convenient stopover for people traveling east or west on I70 looking for a place to spend the night.
