"Thankful for electricity as it was cold. Watch for the thorny burrs that get all over shoes especially if you have a dog…. Would be very painful for them. RVs very close to one another."
"Tried to get a campsite at a nearby place while traveling though, but showers and such were closed....was told about this place. Desk clerk was great."

Lots of positives, mainly the scenery and peace & quiet."

This is not our first Kansas state park. We've been to Kanopolis & Mushroom Rocks."

GuideContext: I would not rate this campground 4 stars for destination camping, but I would like folks to know it is a great stop-over. Typical trusted KOA cleanliness and quality. Full hookups, some shade and nice grounds for kids and pets. Friendly staff, wifi was good enough for online school; 4g cell coverage, cable too if you are set up in your rig. Good health protocols during CV19. Clean bathrooms and sites. Camp grills, but no fire pits (it can be windy, but this campground's layout offers some blocking particularly to the south end). After crossing Kansas from east to west, this is a great stop-over. Also, if leaving Colorado late traveling west to east, same benefit.
GuideThese 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.
TravelerGorgeous scenery but sites are on gravel or grass & not always level for our 30' 5th wheel. Verizon cell is available as is electricity & water. Dumping service is at the entrance. No bathrooms/shower in our Lake View campground. Large lake with lots of fisher folk. Quiet this time of year but over 700 spots around the lake.
LegendThis was our last stop in our Tour de Kansas. The landscape felt more like the west than the flatlands of Kansas we had come to love. We pulled in on a Thurs. The campground was almost empty. Buy Friday afternoon, it was pretty full. By Sunday afternoon, we had it to our self again. We got a pull through site with 30 and 50 amp. Only 1 shower house was open in early April. But, it was 4 individual rooms, not common area setup.
The lake was small but very pretty, easy to kayak, SUP and fish. There are a few short trails to hike. As other have mentioned, there are amazing sites within 20 miles. The Little Jerusalem SP is a must. In the area, we saw turkey, owl, lots of buzzards, geese, albino buffelo and more cows than i have seen in one place. On Saturday, the local car club drove their vintage cars to the park for a pop up car show. The people were very nice. Garden City is about 40 miles away and offers everything you could want, brewery, good food, shopping galore, etc.
GuideStandard 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.
TravelerNice 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
RangerWe 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.
GuideNice spot, we went Labor Day weekend and there was still availability. Breezy and sunny even in late summer. Bathrooms were clean. Had picnic tables.
TravelerWe got here very late, and the place was empty. There was a stack of firewood next to the forepit, and the tent site was very even. Weather was gorgeous, and we didn't mind the mooing cows in the distance. There was a picnic table, and though the road was a bit rough on the minivan, it was a well maintained campsite.
