"First time in Kansas, had a quick one night stop during our road trip. This was a gorgeous lake tucked not far from the highway."
"Quintessential plains of Kansas. Pure beauty as far as the eye can see. Blue water. Generously spaced and well maintained sites, though a lot of them have limited shade. Not an issue in April."
$10 - $100 / night
"I would recommend to anyone passing through Kansas to rest here@"
"Sites spacious but not very private, we were lucky to get one on the edge. Lake is nothing special and no hiking trails or anything, seemed to be mostly boating or fishing."
"This little RV park is a perfect no frills stop while driving through Kansas with easy access off I70."
"There's a self-pay station in front of the bathrooms near the entrance to the campground. I stayed here on a Monday night in late October, and had no problem getting a site."
"The overlook is just a quick viewpoint high above the lake which has its own attractions. But there are no facilities there just to turn around."
"We stayed here as it was right in the middle between Kansas City and Denver where we were headed. Looks like everyone that stayed the night had the same thought."
"This campground is right off the highway. The sites are close but otherwise a very nice campground if you're driving through. They have a pool, laundry, and store."
$35 / night
"Campground just outside of fun, nice Hays, Kansas.
Nearly no trees, but extra long sites - probably 90 feet long. Almost all are pull-thru."
"A nice little campground near Hays! The site was well kept and was an easy pull through, full hookup. Nice quiet campground."
"Growing up in southwest Kansas it is difficult to take a quick weekend trip anywhere close. Horsethief sure changed that."
"Having a lake this close is a treat even if it’s not a big lake. I don’t fish but see and hear fish jumping all the time."
TravelerGreat place to camp overnight on a road trip! We were able to snag a nice tent spot by the river late at night and have a quiet rest. Close enough to the interstate for convenience, far enough away that you won’t hear the noise all night. The bathrooms and showers were a bit grubby, but for $15 I can’t really complain. I’ll definitely stop here again if I’m in the area.
TravelerCheck in was super simple and the store has some cool stuff! The campground itself was very clean and very easy to navigate.
TravelerWe stayed one night on our roadtrip to RMNP. No reservations, but we were able to get a lakefront site by 4pm. Bathrooms, showers were dated, but clean. All sites are pull-through and close together. In downtown Ellis, a few blocks from main drag through town. Small, narrow reservoir with dam. Lots of local anglers so not very private, but it was fine. Only issue was the tent camper next to us that literally doused his car and himself with Lysol - so the odor was quite intense. That was a first.
RangerRoonii Campsite. Unbelievable dispersed camping. Some have cement umbrella like shelter. There are cabins and full RV hookup sites too.. nice shower house with individual room one for women and one for men. Garbage bin, fish preparation table, dump station and water nearby. Nice receded lake views. Little windy. Full hookups are popular. Cabins and dispersed camping sites are empty. Cools down nicely at night.
RangerDispatch Campground. Awesome Lakeview dispersed campsites. Some are near the sandy beach. Unfortunately the lake water has receded dramatically. There is a large now unused boat and vehicle parking lot however the dock is lying on the dirt. The lawn is manicured. At&t signal is 3/5. Flush toilets and showers are nearby. Garbage bins, dump stations and fish stations too. Only one camper.
RangerAbsolutely gorgeous site. Perfectly manicured lines. Full of pap a papa. Really nice clean shower heads and half cellular reception. Dump station nearby.
RangerWhat a beautiful campground. Wide open grass spaces with tables and shelters for picnic tables. Fire rings. Very clean shower house facility. Lots of space. Many stalls for showers, there's also a nearby host. There's an old boat ramp which the inlet has dried up. Four out of five bar LTE signal.
RangerBe very careful about approaching this place using Google maps. We ended up at an overlook far from the campsites. When you see the campsites head towards them and don't keep going for 14 mi to the overlook. The overlook is just a quick viewpoint high above the lake which has its own attractions. But there are no facilities there just to turn around. Some of these sites have big concrete umbrella over them. Where there are trees. There are nice sites that are shade in. Generators are allowed to be run 24/7 in the dry sites along the ridge or there are full service sites. The shower facility has separate men and women's bathrooms and separate shower facilities at the back of the building. It can get really hot here but cools off that night. They do a good job of keeping the lawns cut. The lake itself still has tree trunks sticking out of it. There are tons of swallows and they love to make their nests under the concrete umbrellas.
RangerThis place is definitely not a place to go. The roads have massive chunks taken out of them and I had it back up the entire weird road. Plus I have no place to park. Every spot is grass and everything is rain-sodding. I almost flipped my bus a couple times.
