    Goodland KOA

    Wonderful campground hosts - crazy weather!

    Stayed at site 50. Nice grass site at this campground - very wide, very roomy. Accommodated a late / night-time check-in around 9 PM. Site was very convenient to showers and a nice store. Spoke with the owners in the AM and they were great and extremely nice - told us that they would accommodate anyone, any time - “pull in any time of the night, park where you can, set up, and talk to us in the morning.” Very exposed to the weather, though, and not much privacy. Saw the most incredible thunderstorm we’ve ever seen at this campground! Check out the video as part of this review - crazy lightning!

    St. Francis City Campground

    Free camping at city park

    Nice little park, shelters, fairly level grassy sites. Next to municiple airport, had a plane land and take off again around 23:30, otherwise it was quiet. Restrooms and showers were totally acceptable for the price charged (free with no electric or water hookups)

    Goodland KOA

    Comfortable safe stay near Interstate 70

    Context:  I would not rate this campground 4 stars for destination camping, but I would like folks to know it is a great stop-over.  Typical trusted KOA cleanliness and quality.  Full hookups, some shade and nice grounds for kids and pets.  Friendly staff, wifi was good enough for online school; 4g cell coverage, cable too if you are set up in your rig.  Good health protocols during CV19.  Clean bathrooms and sites.  Camp grills, but no fire pits (it can be windy, but this campground's layout offers some blocking particularly to the south end).  After crossing Kansas from east to west, this is a great stop-over.  Also, if leaving Colorado late traveling west to east, same benefit.

    Atwood Lions Club Park

    Clean, quiet location

    We were passing through northern Kansas on 36 Hwy on the way back from a Colorado motorcycle trip and needed an overnight stay for tent camping. We arrived after dark and called the number on the sign. The friendly attendant told us we could tent camp for free anywhere in the grassy areas by the lake. The campground was quiet and clean. I would highly recommend this location.

    Wagon Wheel Campground — Bonny Lake State Park

    Very private

    Abandoned campground. Lots of spaces with no one here. Dirt roads to location, not a problem to get to unless it rains. Overgrown and cool looking has picnic tables.

    St. Francis City Campground

    Safe camping in established space

    I loved this spot. It was a Hail Mary when road tripping without much else around! There are men’s and women’s showers/bathrooms, but there were dead crickets everywhere and didn’t seem to be well maintained (no shower curtain either). That said, it was a hot, free shower after days on the road, so I thought it was great. Lots of flat land and several spots. Very very windy at night.
