    Gunsmoke RV Park

    Nicely Separated Campsites

    This Campground has one of the most separated sites of the places we've stayed. Most of the sites at the rear part of the park have spaces separated by one's own grassy area and trees, where the picnic table is situated. There's a vice of 50 or 30 amp power, water, dump, showers/bathrooms, laundry, game room and pool. We had to arrive after office closure and the owner was very accommodating about sending our space number, map to the site, and codes by text. WiFi has a password, unlike a few other places with unprotected WiFi.

    Good overnight stop

    Older park but well maintained. WiFi is slow. Cell service is good. Site spacing is excellent. The pool was clean. Sites near entrance may be an issue with highway noise and an active railroad nearby.

    Gunsmoke RV Park

    Nice park with spacious sites

    Sites 50 through 82 are in the back away from the highway and very quiet. 33 through 44 are back in sites and front the highway and are noisier. 50 to 82 have 20 feet of grassy space between sites, I highly recommend these sites. They also have trees to provide shade. Some sites have multiple sewer dumps so your positioning of your rig is less of a problem. They accept the Dyrt Pro card for a 10% discount. All level sites. 😊

    Gunsmoke RV Park

    Comfortable and secure

    All 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.

    Gunsmoke RV Park

    Compared to other campgrounds in Kansas, maybe 4 stars.

    Keep in mind, we haven’t found any five-star campgrounds in Kansas, and a shortage of campgrounds in general, so we were glad to find this perfectly adequate, safe space with level gravel pads close together. Full hookups. The best thing about it is its proximity to Dodge City.

What you should know

Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some cabin locations. "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," warns Missy A. about Gunsmoke RV Park. Railroad tracks near some properties also create periodic noise disturbances.

Site selection matters: Location within campgrounds significantly impacts experience quality. "Sites 50 through 82 are in the back away from the highway and very quiet. 33 through 44 are back in sites and front the highway and are noisier," advises Paul Y. about BECS RV Park. Requesting specific cabin areas can substantially improve comfort.

Tips from RVers

Wind protection: The regional climate includes significant wind exposure. "Come to find out, it is very windy here, so awnings are not used very often," shares Missy A. about her Gunsmoke RV Park experience. Cabin guests should secure loose items and expect regular wind events.

Connectivity considerations: Digital access varies between properties. "WiFi is slow. Cell service is good," reports Kelly B. about Gunsmoke RV Park. Visitors requiring reliable internet access should verify connectivity options or bring mobile hotspot devices when staying in cabin accommodations.
