"Then realized we had found one of the nest places in Kansas! We got a perfect camp spot all to ourselves. It was not necessarily private or in the woods. But we were right up against the lake."
"The fire pit in our spot was up next to the shoreline where we didn’t want it so we built one with a hole and rocks. It did get a bit windy but we put the Jeep behind us so that blocked some wind."
$23 / night
"Trails with cliffs, creeks and caves, campsites with incredible views and Bald Eagles soaring overhead. No other campers in the grounds. What’s not to love?"
"Stopped here on my way through Kansas towards Colorado. The park was nearly empty on a Sunday night, so I got a nice lakefront site with no one else around for $14."
"There are sites for any size rig but the larger ones would be better on the site away from the lake. Most of the sites along the road by the lake are small and not very level."

TravelerIt was a long day driving today and hot outside. We needed a camping spot with electric hookups to run the AC and that’s what we got!!
This campground is very clean and the sites are nicely spaced. The view of the lake was little short of spectacular.
GuideQuaint little town very convenient RV park with full hook ups sewer, water, and electricity. And lots of shade trees. You must visit the blacksmith coffee shop when you’re in town!
GuideAwsome little lake, plenty of camping and the fishing is the best.
GuideAwsome fishing lake, wild bison a mile or 2 down the road. Very nice camp spots with electrical hookups up on a hill and primitive down by the water.
GuideVery nice spots, it is a cove off of the main lake nestled way back of the main, very dusty dirt road getting here but very nice spots. I go back every year.
ScoutFantastic get away!! No traffic! Quiet retreat with full hook ups, great bathroom & showers! VERY HELPFUL owner!! I'll be back!!!
ScoutStayed overnight while traveling, but it is one of 12 places on our trip I would like to have stayed another day. Did some hiking before we left. Beautiful sunsets. Only problem was the terrible insects at dusk. Day time was great.
TravelerA 2 night stay on the Willow Loop. I was the only camper on the loop as the fishing folks came and went. Beautiful wooded area with no traffic sounds. Just the peaceful calls from the birds and bullfrogs.
ScoutIt’s a small campground, nearby hiking but no other activities. It is clean, lots of trash cans and restrooms are clean.
