ScoutVery friendly check in. Full hook ups. Clean laundry room. Playground for the little ones. Right off the highway so the noise is expected but it’s a good price for a safe stop.
GuideWell-maintained campground. Very close to Highway 70 (you can hear the vehicles) and services (gas, restaurants, Walmart). Ideal for an overnight stay on the road. The sites are long (several large RVs on site), with services and picnic tables on cement patios. No fire pits on the sites (there is one in a common area). Modern bathrooms and showers. Everything is very clean. Laundry room ($0.25 required).
GuideThere are a couple sites that you can park right next to with covered picnic tables and lots of tent only sites that are an easy walk. The reservoir is huge and accommodates boating, fishing, and swimming. It's reasonable priced at $10 per night. Reservations can be made up to 4 days in advance. #5 & #6 are right next to each other and would make a great area for larger groups. Check out Marion Cove on Recreation.gov for reservation details. Happy camping!
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!
ScoutWasted my time setting up just to find breaker box has issues so packing up and gonna save money for generator gas
TravelerExcellent area around a small fishing lake with campsites right on the water. Road in was a little rough, but nothing you can't handle if you go slow. I got a spot with a small jetty and was able to sit out there in the evening and watch the fish splash and listen to the birds and later, the coyotes. A good reward after driving across half of Colorado and most of Kansas. Just stayed a single night, but I think my wife and I may go back and check out the nearby Tallgrass National Preserve.
TravelerThe owners were very nice. We were lucky to get the spot we got. We needed a spot to park for the 4 days we were in Emporia for Unbound. The bathroom was extremely clean and convenient. The place was packed because the owners were trying to take in as many people as possible. We were all grateful. We stayed here instead of the fair grounds because we had electricity here. We were practically sitting on the throughway. After getting used to the highway noise it was fine. We were plugged into the owners garage, thankful we only needed house current for our little camper. That way the van next to us could use 30 amp. We met lots of other riders so it was a pleasant chill experience.
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.
