GuideAfter driving the whole park, we settled on Kanza campground at a little loop near the lakefront. There are several campgrounds available for you to choose from, just make sure to watch the signs to make sure they have your type of camping available (ie rv, tent, etc.). There are fire pits. The rv hookup ones are really nice. There are a few nice ones scattered throughout the primitive, and some are just rock piles. Love the fact they have trash cans! A little sad but Understandably they have their bathrooms locked up (We visited on Jan 4th). They have a nice kids playground In this section, and a small beachfront as well. After driving around, we saw a few people fishing, one guy on a boat, and several cars driving through for what seemed like pleasure cruising. As the sun set, we seemed to be the only campers in the whole place! Our only complaints about the location is the scattered tree cover (windblock for fire-we solved by using our vehicle) and the bathroom situation. We would return in the future and recommend this for an easy spot for winter camping if you come prepared. Summer wise, it may be crowded based on the proximity of the camping spot layouts, but that just gives us a reason to come back. Happy Camping!
GuideWe got here yesterday. It has electric 50/30 and water, concrete pads are level. Picnic table. Lots of shade. Clean. By donation. US 81 is close and under construction so there is some highway noise but in noticable when in the trailer. 14 spots, 10 were full. Town is very historic and friendly.
TravelerMy husband and I just needed somewhere to stay overnight while driving through Kansas. This fit the bill because it was along our route. It is VERY primitive and used for hunting according to the website. Our issue was that there were a million mosquitos because the water flowing right beside it. We couldn't even walk from the car to our teardrop camper without getting swarmed. Otherwise the area would not have been horrible just to stay overnight. We did not make it to the bathroom across the road, but it looked like a normal vault toilet.

Green space is very nice and will very peaceful. The toilet area needs some work. As stated this would be great for an overnight and if they work on the toilet the area will give anyone a nice slow down.
Guide Rock is a small town in Nebraska and proves that small is better nestled between fields of waving corn. It is very rural and makes for a great stop off. Back roads are better when it comes to our rural way of life. Guide Rock is the only town in the USA with the name Guide Rock. It was named after a prominent rock Bluff-Pa-Hur, which was an important landmark and guide to early trappers and Pawnee Indians. Guide Rock was settled in 1870 In July 23– 25 enjoy the Webster County Fair. You will also find great fishing, birding and hiking in the area and during the winter enjoy many winter outdoor activities.

GuideNice, grassy sites right around the small lake, next to a cornfield. There are picnic tables, fire pits, a playground, and a couple shaded pavilions for a picnic or rain shelter. It’s pretty quiet except for the constant low hum of a nearby mill - very Kansas. It’s patrolled by police regularly and is a peaceful, serene, no frills place to camp for a night. Also included - boat ramp for recreation or fishing, bathrooms, disc golf course. Town is right down the road for supplies.
TravelerStayed one night on my way through. Had a nice view of lake from my primitive campsite. Bring charcoal or wood if you want to use fire ring. Didn’t see any on-site. There are full hookup sites available and a boat launch. Largest Ball of Twine nearby 😀
TravelerEarly April, 2021. 4 campsites w/ elec. Clean, No water hookup. 2 back in + 2 pull thru that are on the edge of the parking lot. Next to the river. Very quiet. $10
GuideRating a three for two reasons: 1) the potable water is shut off (dump station open), and 2) the RV camp Spots are directly next to each other (No room for privacy feom the neighbors)
However, we always prefer to camp by some sort of body of water, so check that box. AND they have a great Christmas light show throughout the park around the lake/campground for the locals that my daughter enjoyed!
