    Nice and quiet.

    Sites with either electric or not. The electric sites were fairly full (note these are located near the highway) I went for the primitive. Not overly maintained. Some sites were hard to see. There are pit toilets, but from the primitives it is several hundred yards away. Down in the primitive there were no other campers.

    St. Francis City Campground

    Great free camping with showers, bathrooms and near restaurants and stores

    This is a great free camping site in western Kansas right off 36 Hwy. Free for tents and RV’s if you boondock. $25 fee to hookup to electric and water. Shower house and bathrooms were a little run down, but worked just the same as a 5 star hotel. Pizza Hut, Dollar General and gas stations within walking distance. Our stay was quiet and we were the only campers. Right behind the city public works facility so there was some noise and traffic there but not at all annoying.

    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.

    Nice with FHU

    Gravel, level sites. Short walk to the convenience store to get key to unlock the utilities box and pay for the site (check or cash only). Beautiful lake with walking path just over a mile around.

    Goodland KOA

    Loved this little KOA

    This is a sweet little campground. Just off the interstate, but far enough away that you don’t hear the traffic. Staff is super nice and helpful. Wifi is decent. Dog park is generous size. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. There is an outside sink for use if you are tent camping. Nice playground for the kiddos and pool. It’s a small KOA but I highly recommend it.

    Convenient Overnight Stop Along I-70

    We stayed here in our 33' travel trailer in September of 2022 on our way back east from Colorado. You can't book online but I sent an email to inquire about reserving a spot and received a reply saying my spot was booked and to pay by cash onsite. It was a super easy process and so easy to get in and out from I-70. In fact, I just reserved a spot for August going back to Colorado. The price has gone up to $35, but still a bargain.

    Good Stopover

    Nice KOA.. refurbing the bathrooms but have a Stahla rental trailer shower /bathroom. We don’t usually use campground bathrooms so it doesn’t matter..Gravel spaces, friendly staff, not cramped. Playground for the kids! Our space had a “personal” very small fenced 6’x8’ dog area

    It's a KOA! Great overnight stop going through western Kansas

    Great place to stay overnight or longer if Goodland is your final destination.  It's a KOA so everything is up to par with the brand.  Offices and facilities are maintained and clean.  Pool was a nice welcome for the kids and I. Playground had lots of kids playing at it and everyone was happy.  Definitely would stay here again.

    Typical Eastern Colorado

    If you know what to expect in eastern Colorado this place will be great. We needed a spot to stay overnight on a trip to the Denver area and Wray was just the spot. Full hook ups, nice showers, even laundry. Looks like some area workers may use this for full time rv’ing, but it was very quiet. Kody and his wife were very easy to reach and communication was great. They really made it easy to make a reservation. Plus, the sunset was pretty awesome. Not The prettiest campground, but it fit the bill for us.

    Bathrooms not horrid but could be better

    Nice water & elec hook ups. Grassy sites. Very little shade. Dropbox for fees but no fees posted.; Internet said $25/ night so that’s what we paid. Rest rooms not overly clean. Two showers and two toilets on each side (men’s & women’s). No doors/ curtains on toilets or showers.

    $39 and By the highway but... very clean

    It's very expensive per night here and u will be right by the highway I'm sleeping out of the back of my rodeo so the noise is very annoying but I'm sure in an rv it wouldn't be bad at all I do have to say it is very clean here right by a gas station and a Walmart so a one night stay for a refuel and restock it is a good stay

    1 night Stopover

    Campground is convenient off of I 70 on the way to Colorado. Staff were helpful and gave us a cable cord to borrow. Sites are on top of each other, wish we didn't like. Bathrooms were very clean. Full hook ups were nice, this was our first visit to a KOA. The pool was a welcome site on a very hot July day.

    Older KOA-Big Rig Spots

    This is an old KOA with new concrete patios. You have to swing wide to pull in and there is a tight straight spot where you stop to register but doable for my Motorhome. Basic RV park with full hookups with level gravel lots. Pull through spot # 61 accommodated my motorhome and tow, which is 67 feet long. Checking was quick and the attendant was very nice.

    Showers, water, electric/$20

    Also coin laundry. Close to highway, but quiet at night. I slept well. Some shady sites for tent. Cooled off good at night. Good stopover while traveling.

    Solid Drop

    Great place to stop by last minute on the way to Denver. We were able to call in advance and get a reservation. Easy process and we could drive right up to our site. Facilities were well-maintained and clean

    It was mediocre at best… 1 night stays recommended

    This was our first stop after hitting the road to start full time RVing, and we definitely needed to stop and recollect ourselves, but this is definitely a one night stop aorta place… nothing really near by but right off the highway and has all the full amenities one needs to recharge and prep for their next stop. Walmart is directly across the street within walking distance.

    Just be aware of where you’re walking. I ended up with a metal staple in my foot and our pups picked up stickers in the grass

    Nice layover spot

    Nice little campground when looking for a place to spend the night. On a little lake, was relatively clean. Dirt sites/no pads, but reasonably flat. Stayed here @ the end of October & had the place to ourselves other than the geese. $12 for electric (30 & 50 amp), $7 without. We are ready for boondocking so it fit our needs just fine. We would stay here again if needed.

    Basic, but a good stop

    Was a good stop along I70. Easy in and out, though roads in campground can be tight for large rigs.. Staff was nice. Most people stay 1 night. Cable TV worked well. Go see large Van Gough easel nearby
