Other things to note
The Horse Shoe campsite is named for the natural horse shoe formation of cedar and cottonwood trees that encompass the commons area of the campground. This formation of trees offers exceptional protection from the sometimes windy days on the Kansas prairie. Within this area are picnic tables, firepit and a horse shoe pitching pit. The fire-pit also has an open grill attached. Firewood is provided. Tents are allowed in the commons area but campers and RV's must park along the perimeter of the tree grove due to limited access. Adjacent to the campground is a combination shower house and compost-style toilet facility with a wash sink as needed.
$35 - $40 / night
ScoutWe just stopped to overnight so we didn't take advantage of all the amenities. Campground was clean and well kept. We had no issues hooking up and got a restful nights sleep aside from the occasional train.

This is a great stop if you’re traveling and just need a spot to park and camp for a night! Lots of bugs though! But it’s quiet, nobody else here, and a free simple place to sleep while we are passing through. Our pop up camper was super easy to pull in and the ground is flat :)
Scout
Clean and new facilities. Lots of spots, many pull through.
GuideLast minute reservation easily accommodated. Beautiful and super clean. Amazing bathhouse and coffee house. Cabins also available for rent. One of the nicest rv parks we’ve stayed in.
ScoutIt is quiet and it is free and near a real nice town. Level but with gravel. Not smooth or grassy enough for ground sleeping without an air mattress. The road to get there has been graveled well so isn’t muddy anymore. Lots of trees to break the wind BUT then it doesn’t blow away the mosquitos. We didn’t have a tent and were going to sleep in tarp sandwiches BUT the mosquito army drove us on.
TravelerWe stopped here on our way back home from New Mexico. It was a clean, quite campground. The bathrooms were clean. Parking pads were level. We arrived afterhours, and used an envelope to pay. The payment system was pretty confusing. The pay envelopes stated different rates than the website, which also is different than what the employee told us on the phone.
We would stay here again if we needed to stop over night in the area.

We stayed here for 3 nights waiting for spring storms to pass in the central part of the country. Nice park that is part of a ecosystem of community swimming pool, tennis/pickle ball, ball diamonds and walking paths. Other park adjoining. $10.00 for electric/water per night. Gravel parking lot. Public restrooms with flush toilets.
ScoutDog friendly and lady at front desk is very nice and helpful with reasonable rates this is a great stay
Guide
If need to stop and want a full hook-up for $20, give this place a try. The camp ground manager, Monica, was very helpful and proactive. She ensured we had a 50 amp FHU pull-thru. There is not much around so you better be self sufficient. There are several gas stations, a small Dillon's grocery and a Family Dollar store. There is a road on the backside of the campground and a large open field to walk your dogs if you have them. We are going back through the area in Feb and will stay here again, but not sure what that looks like in a Kansas winter.
ScoutI stayed there 2 nights. The first night it rained like the dickens for about an hour after the rain is when the show really started. The marshlands exploded with sound. Frogs, crickets, owls, foxes, coyotes, and more wildlife sounds than I could identify. I can identify a lot. Like 5! The first night was so awesome I stayed a second night. The second night wasn't as dramatic, but it was still a wonderful calypso of sound to fall asleep too. The campground is very well kept and even though next to the road it was peaceful. I will be back next spring!
Scout
Tom and Heddy are very nice folks. Warm and welcoming. Their property is quiet and beautiful. We hope to visit again soon.
ScoutA nice layout, clean site and bathrooms. The trees are young but the over all camp is great.
Guide
Stopped by to see if we would stay here and any amenities.
TravelerThis is a quiet little park for being in the heart of Pratt. It's just $10/night for electric & water. There's a dump station nearby, you just need to get the key from city hall. They have a 7 night maximum stay. Great for an overnight, or a couple days to get caught up on laundry in town. People are really friendly.
ScoutEmpty and quiet. Two clean toilets, muddy road to get there. About 20 minutes from the highway. About 5 good spots to pull off.
TravelerWe were solo camping here. Only a few folks walking dogs around the lake came through. We’re self-contained but there is a vault toilet and a water spigot if needed.
Scout
Awesome little stop on my X-Country route, host was very sweet, I told her I know the spots are close but I like to be isolated when I can and she gave me a great site away from everything with a fire-ring. Just what I wanted. T Mobile service is Very Good opposed to the rating I saw of Poor
GuideWe called ahead to see if they had sites available for the night. Arrived just before the office closed at 7pm. Got a pull-through full-hookups site. The campsite pads are level, nice and wide, gravel like the roads, with wide grassy/dirt/gravel areas between and beautiful mature shade trees everywhere. Also several friendly cats acting as camp hosts, welcoming us at the office when we checked in, greeting us every time we stepped out of our rig, and checking out all the campsites and trees regularly. ☺️ Our site had a picnic table and a clay/Terra cotta statue of a bear eating honey, with a hole in his belly as a small fire ring. Most sites had a covered picnic table. Full hookups worked fine.
Bathrooms were ok; dead crickets on the floor.
We would stay here again.
TravelerThis is a nice spacious campground off of 70, very easy access to the interstate. The sites are roomy and have full hookups and covered picnic areas. The staff is very friendly and helpful! The cons are that it is right next to the interstate, thus, the noise is exceptionally loud and it was difficult to get a good nights sleep. The grounds could be cleaned up as well as there are pieces of trash and dog poop in the grass. It is a nice little place to stay for the night passing through but could use some improvements.
TravelerA nice little campground near Hays! The site was well kept and was an easy pull through, full hookup. Nice quiet campground.
ScoutI am rating this as an overnight stop. Very easy online reservation and communication. We pulled in late and a map was on office door with clear instructions to our site. Campground was easy to navigate and very clean. Level spots, perfect for an easy pull in and set up for the night.
Traveler5 stars for the brand new facilities, man-made duck pond, and “Flicks by the Crick.”
1 star a nasty bathroom with a shower holding a hair clog that look like something Chewbacca hacked up and for spaces packed so close together I can see my neighbor’s nose hair.
It feels like the owners want to squeeze every ounce of revenue out of this few acre spot, making sacrifices along the way.
It was, however, worth my $42/nt charge since it’s close to the highway and saved me from boondocking.
GuideNew and clean. Very nice place to stay. Some sites don’t have sewer hookups although they have an on-site dump station.
GuideThis is a very nice campground. Very new, clean and easy to stay at. Not all sites have full hookup although they have an easy access dump station in the park.
TravelerCalled Sunday of July 4 weekend and the owners answered. Late check in was zero issue. Super friendly folks and their pets are sweet as can be! Walked 5 mins up to Meridy’s for dinner and had one of the best steaks of my life. For just passing through, I couldn’t ask for a better quality stop.
TravelerSuper clean!!!
GuideI’ve been traveling across the country for three days and this was an amazing stop. Only one other person. Watch out for mosquitos. It’s by a lake so this time of year it’s nasty! They have a septic toilet. So perfect if you need to take a bathroom break on a real toilet.
I recommend this place if you want to check out the lake near by, otherwise try to call NOT next to a lake (unless it’s cold outside - under 60)
