    Nice, clean campground!

    We 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.

    Awesome!

    Last 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.

    Peaceful Over Night Stop

    We 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.

    Clean and easy

    A nice layout, clean site and bathrooms. The trees are young but the over all camp is great.

    Quiet & affordable

    This 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.

    Quiet spot for the evening

    We 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.

    Great for a night!

    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

    Good for overnight

    We 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.

    Nice Stop But Loud Next To Interstate

    This 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.

    Great Overnight Stop

    I 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.

    Great place to stop for a night - but not to stay

    5 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.

    Super Nice Resort

    New and clean. Very nice place to stay. Some sites don’t have sewer hookups although they have an on-site dump station.

    Lovely owners, cute spot, convenient everything

    Called 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.

    What a night

    Leigh Ann and Mathew are awesome hosts. The sunset and night breeze are really a welcome reprise for the 96 degree afternoon. The site is still being developed but it’s really cool.

    Great Overnight Stay

    This is a nice clean campground. It has almost entirely pull-through sites. There isn’t much to do, but there is a small playground and a little pond to sit by in the evening. The showers were nice and clean.

    New Campground with Upside

    We lucked out in getting an actual creek side spot, thus shade. The majority of sites are in the sun with youngling trees. Nice dispersed sites for the most part.
