    Timber Canyon - Scott State Park

    One night in Timber Canyon

    These spaces are blocked from the wind and feel more private than the Lakeview campground, but you are a bit further from bathrooms/dumpsters. Primitive spaces had a picnic table and fire ring, and you’ll likely find a little “cove” all to yourself. Most people seemed to be RV camping in the sites that provided hookups and water.

    Timber Canyon - Scott State Park

    Gorgeous lake view

    I stayed for one night on the site with the covered shelter, and it worked out wonderfully because we had a huge lightning storm in the middle of the night. This is a beautiful and well maintained campground. This particular site would be difficult for family with young children because it is far away from the pit toilet.

    Apache Campground — Historic Lake Scott State Park

    Windy

    38 Mph wind gusts all night long made for some miserable camping. Not sure if that’s normal around here or not. 305 & 304 are probably the only primitive campgrounds I would stay at, all the others are too close to the road and eachother with no privacy. A permit is required, mine cost $12.75, they can be purchased from the kiosk at the park entrance. Excellent phone service with Verizon.

    Sheridan State Fishing Lake

    Oasis in the farm lands

    What a gorgeous spot on our journey from CO to MN! Free sites around the lake and ok fishing. The game warden stopped by and said that the fish (carp, catfish, crappie, bluegill & shad) are all stunted. Too many fish for a small lake. Overnight we heard coyotes, crickets & cows.

    Loved this little KOA

    This is a sweet little campground. Just off the interstate, but far enough away that you don’t hear the traffic. Staff is super nice and helpful. Wifi is decent. Dog park is generous size. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. There is an outside sink for use if you are tent camping. Nice playground for the kiddos and pool. It’s a small KOA but I highly recommend it.

    Good Stopover

    Nice KOA.. refurbing the bathrooms but have a Stahla rental trailer shower /bathroom. We don’t usually use campground bathrooms so it doesn’t matter..Gravel spaces, friendly staff, not cramped. Playground for the kids! Our space had a “personal” very small fenced 6’x8’ dog area

    Circle Drive - Scott State Park

    Great little spot but few toilets open

    Unexpectedly pretty and quiet little lake. We got a good spot but some are close together and not private. Worst problem is only one outhouse a bit of a walk away for ALL THESE FAMILIES HERE ON EASTER SUNDAY. They definitely should have had the toilets opened ...lots of kids and where are they hitting the head?

    It's a KOA! Great overnight stop going through western Kansas

    Great place to stay overnight or longer if Goodland is your final destination.  It's a KOA so everything is up to par with the brand.  Offices and facilities are maintained and clean.  Pool was a nice welcome for the kids and I. Playground had lots of kids playing at it and everyone was happy.  Definitely would stay here again.

    Free and clean, but a little buggy

    I had a majestic night here. Was just me and one other person. Campsites right up by the lake, and I was able to forage enough dry wood for a big ol' fire.

    1 night Stopover

    Campground is convenient off of I 70 on the way to Colorado. Staff were helpful and gave us a cable cord to borrow. Sites are on top of each other, wish we didn't like. Bathrooms were very clean. Full hook ups were nice, this was our first visit to a KOA. The pool was a welcome site on a very hot July day.

    Older KOA-Big Rig Spots

    This is an old KOA with new concrete patios. You have to swing wide to pull in and there is a tight straight spot where you stop to register but doable for my Motorhome. Basic RV park with full hookups with level gravel lots. Pull through spot # 61 accommodated my motorhome and tow, which is 67 feet long. Checking was quick and the attendant was very nice.

    Historic Lake Scott State Park

    Clean your bathrooms!

       It seemed like we drove a long time to get here. This was a stop on our way back home from Colorado. It was around 40 some miles from the Interstate& all we saw were fields upon fields & no trees. The husband was grumbling when we turned off on the road to Lake Scott. I felt a lot better when we took the road down into the valley & saw the lake!

        This is not our first Kansas state park. We've been to Kanopolis & Mushroom Rocks. Lake Scott is supposed to be Kansas' most historic park. We stayed for 2 nights in the Circle campground. Water & electric. There's a few "seasonal" sites that offer sewer. 

    As before, there was no one at the gatehouse to check in, so we found our site ourselves. The camp host was never around, but there were a few people in golf carts who waved at us.

       The site had some trees & a view of the lake. The site was clean 

        It was a short walk to the bathroom by the lake. There are flush toilets & showers & I've got to say, they are the filthiest I've seen camping. Apparently it's no ones job to take out the garbage or clean the sinks or toilets. 

        The beach was fairly crowded both afternoons we were there. I have no idea why anyone would want to swim in that disgusting water, but I guess that's all that's around. My husband says he saw fish jumping, so there is that to do.

        This is a pretty scenic park. The rocks & the lake, ect. There was never anyone at the beach store & I found out it's only open on weekends. There was someone at the park office& I got some area info. It was closed by afternoon though. The Steele Home Museum was closed both days we were there.

    Windy overnight!

    The bugs here weren't bad at all. Lots of bird sounds and coyotes in the evening. Plenty of cows nearby to add to the nature sounds. Some level sites for tent camping. Very windy during our stay. Overall a nice place to stay!

    Beautiful lovation

    Stunning site! I loved being right near the water and the bathrooms were very clean and well kept.

    I camped here in the winter so it got down to 5°, so make sure to prepare for that.

    Basic, but a good stop

    Was a good stop along I70. Easy in and out, though roads in campground can be tight for large rigs.. Staff was nice. Most people stay 1 night. Cable TV worked well. Go see large Van Gough easel nearby

    Elm Grove Campground

    Standard Campground in middle nowhere Kansas. We were passing through to Colorado and were also planning to see the nearby Monument Rocks and New Jerusalem Badlands SP. We managed to be the only one in this campground. While this campground had a sign explaining their color coded services, there were no actual services. There were no  formal fire rings on grills, but most sites had remains of improvised fire rings. There is a group camping site with large fire ring, grill, volleyball court etc. This campground had two available bathrooms. One is a pit toilet with no lights, so bring a flashlight. The second had sinks, flush toilets, and showers, but had no main bathroom doors and completely open to the elements at the 8 foot height.

    Calm place

    We arrived late but found our site and camped for the night. After camping in a few spots on our road trip it was refreshing to camp in a grassy spot because Midwest! This place was easy to find and has a playground and pool so very kid-friendly. Really enjoyed my first KOA experience! It’s very relaxing.

    Scenic, quiet place

    We enjoyed our 2 night stay in the Circle Loop. Only negative was no fire pits in this loop, but all the tent sites had fire pits. Strange.

    Lots of positives, mainly the scenery and peace & quiet. Amazing sites nearby...Jerusalem Badlands & Monument Rocks about 15-20 minutes north off of US 83. 

    Scott City, 15 miles south has a great grocery store and eateries,gas stations.

    Nice Tent Camping

    Nice efficient campground. Fairly small for a KOA but has all the usual amenities. Good clean bathhouse (showers, toilets). Laundry facilities. Nice tent sites on flat ground covered in grass and shaded by trees. Very pastoral setting. Very nice overnight camping spot while traveling.

    Clean, functional, pleasant

    Just a nice, quiet little spot of land with basic but well-maintained facilities. No forests, lake, trails, or any of that, but in this part of the state such things don’t exist anyway. Perfect as a stopover on the Great Journey between Kansas and Colorado.

    Great find for a late night on the road

    Pulled in at 2am on Tuesday on our drive from Colorado to Vermont. Didn’t see a living soul from then till we left at 9am. I’d avoid the first loop because there’s a pretty loud generator sound. Other than that pretty nice and not too buggy.

    Perfect for a night or two

    This campground has everything you need for a night or two to take a break from the road. Laundry, pool, full hookups. Ray, the owner, is very friendly. Easy walk to Main St, museums, parks and tourist attractions. Easy on/off I-70. A turn or two is kinda tight in the campground, but certainly manageable in our 38ft Class A with tow car attached.

    Very Nice Kansas Park

    Diverse collection of camping types from RVs to small tent sites. Great scenery and a nice clean lake. Fairly busy, we were here on a Tuesday in June and it was probably half full with several locals just hanging out in campsites to socialize or drink so if you want seclusion pick your site carefully. Overall a very nice campground compared to I state parks we've visited in the state. Close to castle Rock Badlands, monument rocks and Little Jerusalem Badlands which made for a great time.
