GuideIt 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.
Traveler
Nice campground. Level sites, water available, and restrooms. Sites are separated but you will hear generators from nearby neighbors.
I only stayed one night but I would recommend the campground.
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.
GuideNot a railroad to be found! The road is quiet at night Big rig friendly
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.
Guide This place is really hard to find it’s actually west of where it shows you on the map is west of the corral RV Park Dr., West you’ll see there’s some trailers parked up on the hill that’s not it keep going and you’ll actually see a sign that says south when RV Park office is the last house on the west nearest the road there’s no big sign that says officers office that with phone numbers but you have to knock on the door have to knock on the door
GuideAnother great overnight spot when traveling. Host was warm and friendly and the trains overnight brought back many memories.

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!
GuideFull hook ups, level sites. Pay on the honor system. No amenities but towns nearby are cute. Great stop if you are passing through.
ScoutPulled 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
ScoutQuiet, grass for dogs and really nice bathrooms and showers. Spots are level and well maintained.
TravelerWe 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.

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.
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.
GuideLovely camping in the National Cimarron Grasslands. Peaceful beauty all around. Only one other camper. Highly recommend if you are looking for off the beaten path. Vault toilets and water.
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.
Legend
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.

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. Several Ponds some are stocked with trout in the winter a stamp is needed for the rainbow trout.

ScoutHad a great time camping here in early spring. Although the night was chilly & windy, this grassland provided us a comfortable place to sleep and a very peaceful night.
GuideGreat 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
Guide
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.
Guide
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
GuideNot very many spots but nice fishing at small ponds. One pond has ADA access
Small playground nearby
Hiking on flat ground
Nice when nearby Cimarron River is running
Historical sites nearby.
No store at location but access to gas groceries etc. In nearby Elkhart
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!
