"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 - $24 / night
"Not a lot of groceries or gas nearby plan accordingly."
"Lake is down but amenities are nice"
$65 - $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."
"The amenities they provide are: electric and water, picnic tables, comfort station, wifi, trash and pet waste stations and a dump station."
"This little RV park is a perfect no frills stop while driving through Kansas with easy access off I70."
"The staff is very friendly, the dog park is big and clean, and you can get a homemade grab-and-go breakfast on your way out the next morning."
"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."

"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."
TravelerI have stayed at this KOA twice on my way home from Rocky Mountain National Park. The park is right off I-70, the sites are all pull through and level so you don’t have to unhook - just pull in and relax. The staff is very friendly, the dog park is big and clean, and you can get a homemade grab-and-go breakfast on your way out the next morning.
TravelerThis beautiful park is so relaxing, and stress relieving after traveling on a busy interstate. The amenities they provide are: electric and water, picnic tables, comfort station, wifi, trash and pet waste stations and a dump station. There is also a fishing deck and benches near the water, beautiful trees and well lite at night.
GuideFirst time in Kansas, had a quick one night stop during our road trip. This was a gorgeous lake tucked not far from the highway. The tent only sites were totally empty and we were the only ones in the loop. Gorgeous view, just up the bank from a small beach. Self check in was easy and the bathrooms were clean. Only complaint is that it got very buggy at night, but that's what you get for a spot so close to the water. I'd definitely come back again!
ScoutThis little RV park is a perfect no frills stop while driving through Kansas with easy access off I70. There are some sites on the small lake adjacent to the property that are surrounded by beautiful trees. We were able to grab one of these in November during the week. There are spots across the street as well, but that is more of a parking lot looking situation. Water and Electric hookups are available. However, we read they shut the water off in December so be sure to fill up your tank when that of year. We were able to ride our bikes into the little town to grab a tasty breakfast at a diner before we packed up. I would recommend this campground for a restful over night stay. *We travel in a 37 foot 5th wheel for reference

Easy to make reservations, Laundry, small RV store, nice overall campground.
TravelerWe 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. When we arrived in the evening, the campsite was full and every space was taken. When we woke up the in the morning, the campsite was empty as all the RVs had cleared out to be on their way. It was a comfortable stay right on the highway to Denver so easy access to be on our way out.
ScoutThis is a beautiful campground with kind camp hosts. I would recommend to anyone passing through Kansas to rest here@
LegendQuintessential 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.
RangerDriving from east to west doesn't always support an exciting camping experience, but sometimes you just need a place to sleep. Ellis Lakeside was that for my journey. I am not a huge fan of sites right on top of each other, but if you are than you will enjoy Ellis Lakeside. It does sit right on the water edge, and has some pretty great water views. All in all if you are passing through KS and need a place to sleep, pull into Ellis Lakeside.
