Best Campgrounds near Pratt, KS

Had this place all to ourselves. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Pulled in for the night on trip to Missouri. It was a Columbus Day so no one at entrance booth and nobody answering posted phone numbers. Met a gentleman in a park pickup and he said just pick a spot and put your money in the box when you leave - $26 a night, with electric and water and dump station available. It is beautifully maintained and we had the place to ourselves - liked it so much we stayed 2 nights. Had good Verizon signal. The site data says 40 ft max, but many of the spots could accommodate 45-50 ft without a problem. No pull-thru sites - all spots are back-in, but laid out for easy backing.

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.

It was a little tough getting into the park, road construction on US 160. Got here, the only RV here, Electric and water are BOTH available and there is a city maintained dump station in town! They ask for donations, which I will gladly give. Making a cross country trip home on smaller US highways. The drive here from the West is very pleasant. I look forward to exploring the area tomorrow.

We only picked this location based on our cross country road trip. We only needed one night, but had to pay for two nights (it was on a weekend, but this place was no where near full, so the demand isn’t there to warrant a 2 night requirement). On top of that, we had to pay another $5 just to enter the park to get to our campsite. Campers near us looked like they were living there full time. The sites in the grass by the lake seemed to be much nicer when we drove by. Our gravel site was filled with any hills and micro trash. Campers 2 sites down from us was full of kids throwing their empty caprisun drinks on the ground (not the parks fault). Also the bathrooms are extremely dated and gross. Not sure what they are using the entrance fee for, but it doesn’t appear to be for upkeep.

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.

We Didn't stay here, we opted for FHU elsewhere. Much larger than expected, tons of spots that can fit large rigs. All dirt roads that can get muddy.

If need to stop and want a full hook-up for $20, give this place a try. The camp ground manager, Monica, was very helpful and proactive. She ensured we had a 50 amp FHU pull-thru. There is not much around so you better be self sufficient. There are several gas stations, a small Dillon's grocery and a Family Dollar store. There is a road on the backside of the campground and a large open field to walk your dogs if you have them. We are going back through the area in Feb and will stay here again, but not sure what that looks like in a Kansas winter.

We love camping here because the campsites are decent size and they have cabins for our family without campers or tents. We also enjoy the lake and playgrounds for the kids. It is close to home but a nice getaway.

Seems like a nice spot for the night. I appear to be the only person here tonight but have had several cars drive through. There is a vault toilet here but no doors. I dont see any trash cans here. I can hear a little road noise but I also hear lots of nature noises. Birds, frogs, owls and more. I would probably stop here again if it was on my way.

Several sites along the river but separated by foliage. Grounds are well maintained as is the vault toilets.

We spent one night here (May 10, 2022). It was a nice CG for our cross country trip needs. There was one other camper (long term). The CG is all grass with a gravel entry/exit road. We had our pick of back-in sites or pull through– we chose a back-in. We did not have time to visit the office, clubhouse or showers. The CG is next to a rest stop on the west side and farm fields to the south and east. There is traffic noise from Hwy 50, but no bother. Cell phone reception was great.

Thank you goes to the management for allowing us to use our credit card for one night. Cash or check is preferred for short stays.

Great free spot, riverside view and bathrooms

I'm traveling across the country and just needed somewhere to stop and work during the day. I slept for a couple hours before work and a couple hours after. The Wi-Fi is excellent. The bathroom and laundry room was very clean. This is a basic campsite but they've done a wonderful job with value for the money.

Pulled in on a Monday afternoon, had many choices of sites at the waters edge. No hookups, boondocking only. No charge. Stayed through Wednesday morning. Used a Honda inverter generator just enough for the coffee maker and microwave. Loved it and will be back often.

When you’ve driven long hours and it’s either this or Walmart, you’ll be glad its here. Full hookups, level spots, clean showers, laundry, wifi, and only $20.
