    Weston Bend State Park Campground

    Quiet campground close to many Kansas City attractions

    Campground is hilly, sites are level, gravel pads. Lots of space between sites. Electric sites, no water, but water spigots were scattered around the campground. Majority of sites had shade. Most sites are back in, there are 2 pull through sites and 2 family sites. Firewood is available for sale on the honor system near the camp host. Nice shower facilities and laundry available (one washer, one dryer). Regular trash dumpster and also recycling. Pit toilets also available. Dump station across from dumpsters and recycling. Entrance gate closes at 9 pm.

    Weston Bend State Park Campground

    Enjoyable Stay

    Getting to the state park off I 29 and through the countryside was easy as the route had Weston Bend SP signage. We followed the SP signs to the campground(CG) where the gate was not manned so we headed to get water, but someone was sitting in the dump station waiting for another person to arrive so we went around this one-loop CG to see if there was a convenient spigot. There are spigots but with a larger rig, you will block the road, and/or you will be on a hill. We went back around and the person moved so we could get water. After that, we headed to pull through site 28 with electric(50/30/20 AMP) only. The site is long but has a 1/4 moon turn so we had to pull back around to get better positioned on the pad so we could disconnect our 39’ 5th wheel and F450 for our 3-night stay. There were tree branches overhead that we could not avoid. RVers next to us in site 30 had just arrived as well and were having trouble getting their travel trailer unhitched and leveled due to the pad’s slight incline and unlevel asphalt. They got their trailer positioned so they could get somewhat level. We got a solid two bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. Due to our proximity to Kansas City, we got a lot of OTA channels. A satellite connection would be iffy in most sites here due to the number of mature trees. The trees in a lot of sites would also scrape the top of larger rigs. There’s a variety of sites with most being good for regular trailers versus tall rigs, and tent sites. They have a nice shower house with 1 washer and 1 dryer both for$1.50. There are also vaulted toilets here and there. There’s a 1.7-acre fenced dog park that includes one large area for large dogs and two other areas with one dedicated to smaller dogs. The dog area is at the front park entrance away from the campground and it would be a long walk to get there, so we drove up. There are a lot of hiking trails here plus an old tobacco barn that’s worth a look.

    Sabetha Lake

    Nice fishing lake-beautiful view

    Sebetha lake is located a few minutes from the town of Sebetha and is a nice area for camping. The camp sites are Electric and Water on gravel. For Rvers There is a group of campsites when you first come in which are not shaded very well, but there are some scattered sites around the lake that are nicely shaded. We were in site 14 with our door facing the lake. What a beautiful view! We had a fire ring, a raised grill, picnic table, and trash barrel. The grounds are well maintained. For primitive camping there are sites scattered around lake which woul make good single or group sites. There is a cement bathroom by the permit station which has vault toilets and was not something I would feel comfortable using. It looks as if they would be the Emergency shelter. It would take a really big emergency for me to go in them. Outside the bathrooms were 2 nice picnic tables under a shelter.

    The lake offers boating, canoeing, jet skiing, nice nature trails, bird-wildlife viewing, scenic drive,and beautiful lake views. There was hardly any traffic going by our area so it was mostly quiet with an exceptional train in the distance. All and all a nice experience.

    Love's RV Hookup-St. Joseph MO 235

    Not the Best Option

    This Love’s RV Hook Up is right off I-29. We’ve enjoyed several stays at these new Love’s campgrounds(CG) and they are normally away from the main car and truck fueling areas. After cruising around the truck area, we found that we needed to go to the car area as the CG is literally off the auto-side fuel pumps/parking lot. There is a lane that we could have driven through from the truck area and this would've put us in the right position to back into our site. However, there was a Love's fuel truck parked there the whole time of our stay. There are six back-in sites with water and electric. They give you a code if you want to use the dump station. We reserved site 1 with water and electric(50/30/20 AMP). It still could have been an easy back-in but there was a big U-Haul truck parked outside of the formal parking areas in our path. We were still able to maneuver around and get in our site. After parking, we checked in online to activate our utilities. We quickly found out when we auto-leveled that site 1 was not a level site as our passenger side tires were off the ground. And whoever designed these sites thought boulders between sites was a good idea? We had to position our rig to avoid a boulder on the pad, so that we could open our basement slide drawer. The utilities are at the far backside of the pad and based on our rig’s configuration with the wet bay towards the front, we needed 25’ or more of hose and electric cord. The water pressure here is good. The WiFi is also for general public use and not very fast. We got 3 bars on Verizon and used our MiFi for internet as we were not comfortable putting out Starlink in this general public area. We were next to Love’s two-sided dog park, which if not for dog poop on the inside and around the outside would have been a great convenience. Concerning the uncomfortable comment, two stealth campers in cars were in parking spaces adjacent to our site for the night. We shared the CG with a Scottish Rugby cycling team traversing the USA raising AHS awareness. We did not know that starting around 6:00 AM the sprinklers came on and all of their gear got wet. The sprinklers also make mud puddles at the dog park entrance. Loves should gravel the small and large dog entrances. There should also be signs to let campers know about the sprinklers. The other Love’s RV Stops we stayed in had restroom and shower facilities, here you go in the main building and pay to use the trucker showers. The dump station is hard to get into with a large rig. Wrapping up this unpleasant stay, this Love’s was one up on a Walmart parking lot as it had water and electric.

    Rochester Falls Access

    Rochester Falls Access

    Not really big rig friendly. One site, maybe. We got ours (43.5') in, barely. It's the first site out of the 6 or 7 here. Great for 30' travel trailers. Lots of trees for shade, but that limits sunlight for those that need solar. Some traffic noise, but not an issue indoors.

    Land-N-Park RV Park

    Gem in the country

    Ms. Betty, — she answers the phone when you call to make a reservation! All sites are pull through. Probably around 7-8 total sites. 30 amp and 50 Amp. Nice level gravel, shaded lots. Only two campers here tonight. It was a gem of a find, and don’t know that I would have known about it had I not opened The Dyrt! Do yourself a favor— call Ms. Betty and get her directions! They are much better than GPS!!!

    I believe I’ll stay here for 2-3 nights vs just the 1 had planned for. The campground is clean as a whistle and for those that want to “get away,” then you’ll love it! Ms. Betty’s already share with me where I can get get a great breakfast in the a.m. — just a short walk from the campsite. You are literally a part of this little town— Nemaha, NE

    Cell: 402-651-3612 Home: 402-824-5043.

    Reasonable and felt welcomed the moment I drove up.

    Happy Joy Acres

    This campground was set back in the woods. Lots of nice people.

    This campground was set back in the woods. Lots of nice people. We had a blast at this campground. We barbecued with most of the people that live there full-time. It’s kind of sit back in the woods each individual side as a picnic table and a place for a fire and is kind of isolated. People that live there year-round are all really nice and we did a big barbecue with them. The woman that runs the place told us about a big lake that was close to us. We went there for a couple of days and have more fun it’s a beautiful big lake. We were able to rent a boat and actually go on the water. She gave us lots of fun stuff to do in the area.  People are very helpful we had a great time be in there and can’t wait to come back next year.

    Big Lake State Park Campground

    Nice sites on the lake

    Both back in and pull through sites available with electric, dump site, and fresh water fill station. Hosts are very friendly and drive around with firewood right on the back. Easy to reserve online and nice, level, shaded gravel sites, and primitive sites right by the lake. Bring your bug spray in the summer.


Guide to Hiawatha

RV camping near Hiawatha, Kansas offers several convenient options within a 50-mile radius. Situated in the rolling hills of northeastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri, this region experiences four distinct seasons with humid summers and cold winters. Most campgrounds in the area remain open year-round, though travelers should note that during nuclear plant outage periods every two years, availability becomes extremely limited at certain locations.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: The Auburn city fishing lake near Auburn Inn and Long's RV Park is regularly stocked with trout for visitors. "The nearby lake has good fishing and is annually stocked with trout," notes camper Charles C.

Walking trails and gardens: At R U Lost - RV Lots, guests can explore the beautiful gardens. "Aside from a vegetable garden, there is a beautiful garden of flowers and plants that you can walk through. It smells so nice! It is lit up beautiful at night!" shares Jody J.

Family recreation: Recreational facilities abound at some parks, particularly for families. "There is a skating rink, tennis courts, basketball court, mini golf, and small park for children. You have to buy an activity pass for everything which is $10 a day. If you're camping you get one activity pass for free," writes Bryan R. about Sycamore Springs Whitetail Ranch RV Park.

What campers like

Friendly owners: Many campers praise the personable service at smaller campgrounds. "This was truly a very pleasant camping site for us! Owners- Colleen & Jim- are so kind and helpful!" reports a guest about R U Lost RV Lots. "We arrived in the area, and she greets us with a smile and welcomes us to 'R U LOST- RV lots,'" adds another camper.

Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness ranks high on visitor priorities. "Very well cared for site. It's been well established for many years," writes Julie H. about AOK Campground & RV Park. "Very, very clean bathrooms and laundry. Hosts present and helpful," adds Katy M.

Garden sharing: Some parks offer unique amenities like garden access. "She shows us our campsite, lets us set-up then we pay for our nights... vegetable garden looks delicious and 'you can have as much as you want, just leave me one!'" reports a visitor at R U Lost RV Lots.

What you should know

Highway noise: Proximity to highways can affect the camping experience. "A bit of freeway noise but not too bothersome," notes Julie H. about AOK Campground. Another camper explains, "The only reason it isn't getting 5 stars is the proximity to the freeway, you can hear it very clearly (jake brakes and all) continuously."

Nuclear plant outages: Every two years, camping availability becomes severely limited. "This year is an Outage shut down so the Campsite and others around the plant is very minimal. You need to call if anything is open for your stay. The outage (Nuclear shut down) happens every two years," explains a reviewer at R U Lost RV Lots.

Site spacing concerns: Beacon RV Park and other locations can have tight spacing. "A lot of full timers here, not really anywhere to park (have room for about 1 vehicle). Owner had to have the neighbors move their vehicles just to be able to back into spot," reports Adam D.

Tips for camping with families

Activity passes: Some campgrounds require additional fees for amenities. At Sycamore Springs, "Children 5 and under are free as well. Sundays are free as well," for activity passes according to a visitor.

Pool availability: AOK Campground & RV Park offers family-friendly water recreation. "The pool was small but was clean and fenced," reports Brenda L. The campground also features "a playground, a sand volleyball area, and a basketball area," according to Shannon G.

Tent options: For families preferring tent camping, AOK provides dedicated spaces. "The tent area was nice with lots of room between them," notes Shannon G. Another camper mentioned, "Site A was really tucked into the back and had lots of vegetation and privacy."

Tips from RVers

Cell service: Connectivity varies by location and carrier. "AT&T and Verizon worked best for us. Our T-Mobile Mifi was hit or miss," reports Jody J. about R U Lost RV Lots.

Leveling challenges: Check site conditions before setting up. At Love's RV Hookup-St. Joseph, one camper noted, "We quickly found out when we auto-leveled that site 1 was not a level site as our passenger side tires were off the ground."

Hookup locations: The placement of utilities can create challenges. "The utilities are at the far backside of the pad and based on our rig's configuration with the wet bay towards the front, we needed 25' or more of hose and electric cord," explains an RVer at Love's RV Hookup, highlighting the need for extended hookup equipment.
