Best Tent Camping near Richfield, KS

TThis place is scenic and in the backcountry of Southwest kansas it has many places to camp and it's nice and quiet for its not a summertime weekend recreational destination

Great small campground / rec area. It was clearly very popular among hunters/fishermen during season as we were the only campers there that were not hunting or fishing. It’s a day use area, too. There’s only vault toilets but there is drinking water available. No power or dump stations, but generators were welcome for the RV folks. Fires are allowed when there are no active fire restrictions and they have great fire pit rings. Pay attention to fire restrictions on the USDA campground site. No fire wood for sale, so bring your own. The sites are first come first serve since they’re non-reservable according to the USDA website. I had heard there were great trails on the grasslands but it was hunting season when we were there so I recommend researching that first before coming here and expecting to hike safely. The grounds are kept decently well. There’s no camp host but when we were there all the other campers were very quiet / chill. In fact we were alone on the whole grounds until the hunters rolled in for the evening. The sunset & sunrise were gorgeous here. It’s buggy of course because you’re in the grasslands and near ponds, so be prepared for insects as well. We heard a pack of animals loudly roll through in the night, pretty sure they were coyotes. Trash cans available, and great picnic tables available.

All in all, this was a wonderful site and we’re glad we made the drive. It’s a lovely campground with the grasslands’ nature surrounding you on all sides. We camped in a Roof Top Tent (RTT) and the lot was level, decently private. We camped in #6. People clearly like to spread out here when it’s not crowded, that was nice.

Word to the wise: if you’re traveling here on Stevens County roads with gravel and 65mph speeds, sloooooow down and get off to the side as people approach you from the opposite direction. Those “Stevens Co not responsible for broken windshields” signs are there for a reason.

Full hook ups, level sites. Pay on the honor system. No amenities but towns nearby are cute. Great stop if you are passing through.

Great place to stay. Right by Bentwood golf course

Concrete pads and picnic tables

No fishing or swimming

Walking path

In small town with access to gas and groceries

As you can see in the video not much to it

I stayed here two years ago for 3 nights.  Clean restrooms.  Quiet (October).  As I recall it was free, probably due to the off season.  Not much to do or see in town but as a safe place to rest you can't beat it.

Small rv park great for just passing thru

Not in outdoorsy location. Right next to highway. More of a place to stop over than a campground. Clean and well managed. Friendly staff and townspeople. Great Mexican food nearby.

We 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.

Not a railroad to be found! The road is quiet at night Big rig friendly

Quiet, grass for dogs and really nice bathrooms and showers. Spots are level and well maintained.

Pulled in late, and the guy answered! The park has a lot of thought out into it and very easy to navigate. Everything was clean and well maintained

Luckily they had walk in room. It was kind of hard to navigate, numbers weren't easy to find right away. Decent size lots, fair price for available commodities offered. Showers were clean and large. They have a kids park in front of the old drive in. Good food in town!

We were driving through and needed a place to stay. We called and the phone was answered immediately. There is Dropbox where you pay. They text me the WiFi password.

The pull through spots where we stayed were nice, pretty level and clean. The main area, my husband said was nice, clean, cute and manicured. We will be traveling this was again and will stay here again.

Limited spots

Amazing staff

Clean and maintained

Small pond for fishing swimming

Great sand dunes for riding at..they have poker runs and atv/utv rodeos several times a year. Brand NEW bathhouse.

Sites are taken quickly so reserve well ahead of time. There is another private campground (more of a dirt lot with hookups) past the main area.

Usually family friendly but can get rowdy on poker run weekends.

Gas and groceries about 5 minutes from park

I 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.

It is a decent place for an overnight stop. Pricing is low. Full hookup, pull through spots. A lot of train traffic. Not bad, though, if you're used to train or city sounds.

Another great overnight spot when traveling. Host was warm and friendly and the trains overnight brought back many memories.
