Good Sam Club ratings 9/10/9.5. Facebook dubbed it the #1 RV park in Kansas. Big rig friendly with 58 pull-thru sites up to 90’ long and 31 back-in sites. 50/30/20 Amp service and some sites have dual sewer. Guests enjoy the swimming pool, playground, horseshoe pits, clean bath houses and laundry facility, game room, book exchange and general store. The park also has a tenting area and the Cowboy Bunkhouse is also available for rent. Conveniently located at the intersection of US 50/400 and US 50/56, just a short drive to all the old west attractions, local casino, race track, event center, water park and more.
All 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.
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.
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!
Very clean bathrooms and showers. Some noise from road and train close by. Overall quite comfortable. Sites good size. Park next to rig.
Another great overnight spot when traveling. Host was warm and friendly and the trains overnight brought back many memories.
They have no idea what the Dyrt is or the 40% discount for pro members
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.
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.
$60 a night
Free 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
Campground 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.
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.
Only stayed 1 night.
Nice, friendly and helpful check in.
Easy hookups, nice sites.
Liked the overall vibe.
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.
I had a cozy spot with good shade for a couple of days. Bathrooms/showers were very clean. Friendly staff, good sense of humor and nice painting added to homeyness
This place has good glean facilities. The people here are really friendly. The park is in a great location close to Dodge City. I would stay here again.
Very clean laundromat and bathhouses! The park is close to downtown Dodge City. The location is very convenient. Owners and staff are helpful and friendly. Would stay here again.
I could toss a rock and hit passing trains. Will not return to this KOA
I had a reservation at this park, but when We arrived and got a look at the park we quickly left. Mostly perm sites with old, run down campers. The park was dirty and seemed very sketchy. Would not stay here.
Great 1 nite camp, has laundromat, pool, and small store.
The place itself is just ok. It’s just a parking lot of RVs. No trees, no pool, nothing on site. It is close to a nice park and a water park if you want to add more to your bill. The showers suck. Although clean, you can not adjust the hot or cold and it turns off every minute. The people were nice but not very informative.
The owner checked us in. Nice guy, very helpful and informative about the campground. They have a code on the entrance gate and bathroom and laundry doors. The gate is open during the day and closes at night. A decent size pool. Good space between campers
Great view, quiet and not full. 13-32 dollars.
Good cell (Verizon)
I will camp here again.
We needed a place to stop our travels to Oklahoma. The people were friendly and we had a wonderful view of the lake! Enjoyed a bike ride to the showers and I gave it four stars because there wasn’t any hot water. And they weren’t the cleanest. Other than that, you won’t be disappointed.
General: There are several camping areas situated around Lake Meade, some with as few as three tent sites, and others with electric hookups. We camped on a weekday in April and the visitor center was closed when we arrived so we were a little confused looking for the Lake View campground, where we had a reservation. Google maps does not show any campground with that name but by eventually driving around the lake, we found it, but on the map, it was labeled Scout Campground. There were only a handful of campers in our campground and none in the others that I could see.
Site Quality/Facilities: The sites in Lake View (aka Scout?) have sites scattered about, all on dirt/sand pads. I can understand why one reviewer said that Site 22 was the most coveted as it offers the most privacy of all the sites in this campground. Sites 18 and 19 would be good IF you have small children as the playground is right behind 19 and next to 18. Don’t reserve these sites if you don’t want the noise and activity of kids nearby. As the name suggests, many of the sites have an unobstructed view of the lake. In summer, the sunsets are likely fabulous but in April, the sun set behind the trees and was a non-event at our site.
Bathhouse: At Lake View, there are four unisex combo bath/shower units; they were clean. Soap dispensers and air dyers so, if you are like me, don’t forget to bring your towel so you don’t have to use the air dryers.
Activities/Amenities: Fishing appears to be a big draw. In season, there is also a small swimming beach and kayak rentals. This area is about a mile walk or drive from the Lake View campground. There was one hiking trail of indeterminant length; I was hoping it would go clockwise around the lake but when I looked at the map, it appeared I would have to cross a stream to do so I only ventured a short distance down the trail. Cell service is spotty, ranging from one bar to no service.
I would imagine that in the summer and on warm weekends, this place is likely hopping but we enjoyed a quiet night on a lake as we were passing through on our way further west.
There are spots available for all types of camping. We were just passing through the area and needed a spot to spend the night. We got there in the evening on a Saturday and easily found a campsite.
Nice gated campground, not to quiet, busy highway right there. Great for an overnight stay, too pricey for anything more than that!
