    Sixth Street Park

    Fantastic Spot on a hot muggy night

    We had originally pulled in to Walmart but it was way to noisy with the trucks. Found this great spot in a beautiful city park watercand electricity for 10$

    East Shore Camping Area — Cheney State Park

    100s of spots

    Many spots to choose from, the primitive area is where i like to be. Right on the water. Every area has a camp host and electrical spots have wifi that is actually good

    Sand Hills State Park Campground

    Peaceful

    It’s a small campground, nearby hiking but no other activities. It is clean, lots of trash cans and restrooms are clean.

    Medicine Lodge City Park

    Great place

    There are a few spots by the bathroom, across from the baseball field. Bathrooms have flush toilets and a shower. Besides the baseball players, we're the only ones here.

    Cheyenne Bottoms Campground

    Good for a stopover

    Campground is small (6-7 spots) and right off dirt road. That said, quiet evening with one other couple camping. If full, would feel crowded. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table and there is a vault toilet. Lots of birds and had a Barred Owl fly right past me while I was setting up. Campground is adjacent to the Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife area, largest wetland in the interior US and important migratory bird location. About 45 minutes off I-70.

    Champion Ridge Inn & Country RV Park

    Quiet and beautiful farm setting

    Very nice small camping area at a farm. Very friendly and helpful host. There’s a lot of great history in the surrounding area and lots to see.
