GuideIt is a decent place for an overnight stop. Pricing is low. Full hookup, pull through spots. A lot of train traffic. Not bad, though, if you're used to train or city sounds.

Nice place, but poor WiFi. Add said good WiFi.
GuideAll the sites are pull through everything worked sewer water electric $20 a night for 30 amp. Owner was very friendly when I was here the Highway 54 was torn up completely so it would be best to call and come in the back way if you look at your Mac, you can take a left on 12th St. by the Valero and go down and wind your way through.
Scout
Great place for peaceful camping. Has big playground for kids and miles of hiking trails, even lakes to fish. Staff very friendly and helpful for anything you need.

We stayed here in June for two nights on a road trip north. Front section of spots 1-43 are close to the road and it is very noisy. They made these front sites big rig friendly by using the site next to yours for unhooking your tow or towed vehicle. We were put in the front section due to a large work crew taking up a lot of spaces in the back section. We could not open our awning in the first assigned spot, so the staff was accommodating and moved us over one spot. Come to find out, it is very windy here, so awnings are not used very often. We would highly recommend getting a site in the back. Sites 50-80. Less noise, long pull throughs and nice wide grass areas. The wifi was not very strong or was too busy, so we used our own hot spot. This is conveniently located close to Dodge City attractions.

Came here to fish and saw the campground and decided to stay.
Hackberry sites are concrete pads and level. Spaced close together, but there are only 5 or 6 spots.
There is another campground for the park on the south end of the lake, right on the dunes for off roading.
This used to be a state park, but around 2011 the state closed it and the city took over.
Town is only a couple of miles south and while not big, it has a gas station, market, cafe, and a Pizza Hut.
GuideNice clean bathrooms and grounds. Quiet. Nancy was very helpful. We will stop here again.

Found this on the app. Showed up and it’s totally slept on!! I will be back because I regularly drive through the area on my way to Arizona.
I felt safe. There was bathrooms. It was quiet for the most part.
There is limited parking but it is December and I was vehicle 2/2. Picnic tables and I slept through the night well!

ScoutVery clean bathrooms and showers. Some noise from road and train close by. Overall quite comfortable. Sites good size. Park next to rig.
GuideAnother great overnight spot when traveling. Host was warm and friendly and the trains overnight brought back many memories.

We just stayed there over night and did the late check in but it worked great for us. Just needed water and electricity but they have all the options.
ScoutWhile we did not actually stay here, I wish we had. We had to reroute to avoid flooding, storms, tornadoes. We stayed at a public park down the highway a way that felt more like a truck stop. In the morning, we realized we were in need of a dump station. Not only was this rv park the closest, but they had to have been the nicest, and it was immaculate. If you’re looking for an easy off-on with large rig-friendly pull-through pads, this is your spot. I am not affiliated with this outfit; I was not paid in any way to endorse it, in fact, they wouldn’t even let me pay. We will definitely be back as paying over-nighters sometime in the near future. 😁
GuideAfter a scary, mushy slip slide drive through deep soft red dirt, we arrived to the bottom of the Cimarron River valley for an overnight stay. 50 amps and water on a concrete pad, plus a shade cover over a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Our 34 ft motorhome made it, and we prayed it wouldn't rain before time to leave. Nice campground with trails, a playground, and 3 well placed underground tornado shelters. Great staff (camp hosts) and a well run park.
GuideVery chill park, friendly host and all hookups functioned great. Filled up fairly quickly by 6pm but still plenty of room for more. Didn’t use any of the facilities so have no comment on them. Host appears to not be there during the day time as much. Just read the notes on the Office front door to guide you in the process if the Office is closed.
GuideAll hookups function properly, gravel sites fairly level and easy to access. Laundry and showers available, have not used them yet. Bad time of year for exploring the area. Still very arid and dry this spring. No complaints about the park.
Scout$60 a night
GuideFree east to get to dump and water, but small rig only. I’m here in January, but looks like supposed to park on the grass
ScoutCampground was a little difficult to find the entrance to, but once we found it we had no problems with the rest of our stay. Campground was quite and fully paved. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes and scooters while we relaxed at our spot. Plenty of room to pull in and out of spots. The common buildings were all new and very well kept. Highly recommend if you are in Dodge City.
Traveler
Very quiet, clean, pet friendly! We stayed here for 3 1/2 weeks wile I worked nights. Small showers
GuideAll gravel and rock park surrounded by grass. Long, wide pull through sites plus a row of back ins. No permanent residents, beautiful showers, laundry, clubhouse and office, friendly staff, horse corrals, sunrise and sunsets were gorgeous.

I tent camped at Meade State Park in July 2022. I was the only camper in the Larrabee campground. I picked site 143 because trees almost totally shade it. There was one travel trailer in the Sagebrush campground loop. There were more RVs on the northeast edge of the small lake. I arrived around 4pm and spread out my gear to dry after camping in the rain in Iowa the previous night. It was sunny and breezy and my stuff dried quickly. Then I walked 200 yards to the beach and swam in the lake. It was very refreshing in that summer heat. Afterwards I took a cold shower in the shower house that is connected to the visitor center, which was inexplicably closed on a Wednesday. There was a sign to run the shower until it heats up. Well, I didn’t wait and just took the cold shower, which was also refreshing. After I pitched my then dry tent, I walked the 2 miles around the whole lake. I didn’t want to just hang out at my camp site because there were biting flies that interestingly stopped biting around 7pm and I enjoyed the evening at my site after the swim, shower, and walk. It was a nice waypoint on my road trip.
Guide
I stayed here two years ago for 3 nights. Clean restrooms. Quiet (October). As I recall it was free, probably due to the off season. Not much to do or see in town but as a safe place to rest you can't beat it.
ScoutThis was a great VERY quiet get away for me and the wife. Not a lot going on in this area during the winter time but this was the perfect place for us to unplug. Nestled just outside Garner State Park has some great scenery. The dog park and surrounding area could have used some more grass in and around it to help keep the mud out of the RV but the dogs enjoyed themselves. All in all a great place for a get away if you're looking to unplug.
Guide
Very OK place. Clean, has wifi, grocery store across the street, and there was a food trailer with good food next door. Great value
