    Page Creek Area — Cedar Bluff State Park

    Beautiful grassed site on the edge of the lake.

    What 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.

    Page Creek Area — Cedar Bluff State Park

    Primitive camping is private, RV not so much.

    We camped in a tent around the flood line of the Waters edge. The water was down so the water was way out in the distance. Restrooms were quite a bit away. Bugs were bad. Everything else was good. Large picnicking table and fire pit. Very private

    Great overnight stay

    About average as KOAs go. Laundry was cheap per load, pool nicely maintained, showers clean. All amenities, dump on-site. Small playground. No fire rings and sites close together. Table at each site, some sites with trees. Right off the hwy. Great place for staying as you pass through.

    Page Creek Area — Cedar Bluff State Park

    Sooth the soul

    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. Beautiful views with brilliant sunsets over the water. In early April, there were only a handful of other campers. Only 1 small shower house was open, but it was warm and clean. The swimming beach is large and looked clean. There is new looking playground equipment. The most precious thing I have seen, Pa's Lake. It's a little lake built for disabled and youths to fish in. They even have a giant fishing pole and the bobber is a light. There are cabins with great views. Plenty of day use areas, a large boat launch with a dock, so you don't have to pull your boat out in the evenings. I had hoped to paddle board to the cliffs, but 30 mph winds nixed that. If you want dark skies and solitude, this is the place. There is one small store just outside the entrance. Other than that, Hayes is the closest town, 30 min. by dirt road or 40 by interstate. The rangers were really helpful. I would definitely recommend.

    Welcome Respite for our family

    Our young family of six stayed for 2 nights during our cross country drive and wow what a welcome respite it was from driving! My kiddos LOVED the pool. We spent the entire day lounging and enjoying the basketball court, corn hole, park, ice cream social, and of course, the swimming pool! We stayed in site 4 which was super accessible, complete with picnic table and full hookups. I was really happy with the cleanliness of the park in general including the laundry facility, bathrooms, grounds, and shop. The laundry facility was very well priced and very efficient. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming and obviously take pride in this campground. We would be happy to stay again if we are ever in the area again! Highly recommend!

    Beautiful manicured lawn dispersed camping

    Roonii 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.

    Broken Arrow campground KS

    One of the best kept secrets in Kansas

    Cedar Bluff State Park (Bluffton Area) is about 40 minutes off I-70, with just a short dirt road leading you to a peaceful lakeside campsite. I stayed at site 360, which had an incredible sunrise view. Bathrooms and showers are located up the hill, with parking available so you don’t have to walk. Campsites are reserved through a self-service system: either use the electric kiosk (credit cards accepted) or drop cash in the receptacle. The park is also in close proximity to Castle Rock, Monument Rocks, and Little Jerusalem.

    Creek Side Resort

    Ok for a night while traveling

    The staff members are great, kind & helpful. This is a place for large RVs & large trailers. Very long, drive through sites. Gravel to park on. No trees, no shade. No fire rings, you can have a fire if you bring your own fire bowl. I use a cane & between the gravel & the curbs it was very difficult for me to get around. However, the bathrooms are accessible with grab bars. There are rails on the ramp to the bathrooms/showers/office building to help navigate the ramp.

    There is a small pond & some play equipment for children.
