      Gunsmoke RV Park

      Easy Access Overnight Stop

      Right outside of Dodge City, this RV park is easy to access for an overnight stop. We stayed during the off season and scheduled by calling the number listed at the site-she made it extremely easy. There was a lot of road noise and an occasional train. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was nice and hot. They offer several lots of various lengths, including several pull through; in a very basic park.

      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.

      Gunsmoke RV Park

      Noisy

      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.

      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.

    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
