"The Cimarron Grassland is an amazing part of the Great Plains ecosystem and definitely worth a look when driving through the southwest corner of Kansas. It will not be what you’re expecting!"
"$7.00 per sites 10 sites(some are double sites so they call it 14 sites) all pads ar gravel, a couple are pretty level, all sites have fire ring, vaulted toilets, several water spigots according to Kansas"
"Very clean bathrooms with free hot showers. Big shade trees. Full hookups. Kind host. We wished that we could’ve stayed longer."
LegendThe Cimarron Grassland is an amazing part of the Great Plains ecosystem and definitely worth a look when driving through the southwest corner of Kansas. It will not be what you’re expecting! The sunrises alone are worth the price of admission, which was just $7 per night.
Just off the park driving tour road, this little campground sits between small ponds in a larger wetland area within the Cimarron River. Each site is spacious with the usual picnic table, fire ring, and tent pad. Vault toilets and potable drinking water are available all year round, we just had to wait for the faucet to thaw after freezing up overnight.
The area is fantastic for bird lovers, and we watched flocks of Starlings tuck themselves into the marsh grasses for the night. Raptors, warblers, and many other bird species use the area as a fly-over stop during migration. Hiking is close by on the Sante Fe Trail which follows the original path of the old wagon trail through the plains, biking and other motorized recreational vehicles are allowed in certain areas. While the terrain might not be challenging, the sandy soil makes any long walk or ride just a little bit more difficult.
The nearby town of Elkhart affords the usual amenities for groceries, gas, and a few restaurants. The National Grassland office is also in town if you want more information about the area. Check out our blog about our time traveling through southern Kansas...and unexpected treat!
ScoutCimarron National Grasslands,$7.00 per sites 10 sites(some are double sites so they call it 14 sites) all pads ar gravel, a couple are pretty level, all sites have fire ring, vaulted toilets, several water spigots according to Kansas worker they check the spigot monthly.

ScoutStayed one night during a road trip from Salida, CO to Annapolis, MD. We traveled with two kids in a sprinter van. The campground was clean, bathrooms were clean, and very quiet. Spots filled up a bit towards the end of the evening with about half occupied for overnight stays.
We were there for opening day of dove season, so the campground did have a few hunting parties and you could hear shotgun shots in the distance, which didn't bother us. None were loud.
Flies were a bit bad in the early afternoon but settled down at night.
GuideGreat small campground! Not busy, sites are well maintained, there is water, trash bins, and pit toilets as clean as they come. Verizon has good coverage out here. This is definitely one of my favorite campgrounds so far in the Plains states. Looks like they’ve made some recent updates to be more accessible.
GuideAll 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.
LegendI 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.
ScoutThis place was wonderful. Clean, quiet, remote, beautiful. It does not seem to be rigorously overseen (there were no envelopes in which to put my $7 overnight fee), yet it is in fine shape: water pumps, toilets, trash cans all working and clean. More to the point: it's in the gorgeous grasslands. I just stayed for a night, on my route from Santa Fe to Chicago. I was the only one there. As there was no rain in the forecast, I slept out under the magnificent stars, staring at the milky way late into the night. Highly recommended.

TravelerWe are traveling with a travel trailer and three generations of family (five of us ages 4-64). We LOVED this campground! Well maintained playground for the kids. Very clean bathrooms with free hot showers. Big shade trees. Full hookups. Kind host. We wished that we could’ve stayed longer. A few sweet cows behind us and a thunderstorm in front of us and hundreds of happy birds singing. Highly recommend.
