Guide
Out of the way. 15 miles from town. Weak T-mobile. Warm days, cold nights.
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.
Scout
Nice place, but poor WiFi. Add said good WiFi.
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.
TravelerIt was easy to find, the pond is a one minute walk away and very pretty. I was the only one here and it was nice and peaceful. It was very chilly at night, but that is to be expected in November. I don’t have a heater, so I had to bundle up. I had excellent cell service (Verizon)
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.
TravelerWe stopped here and drove around the almost dried up lake as another person was making camp near the pit toilets. When we come back around to consider making camp near him a 5ft+ rattle snake wiggled by his car. We stayed long enough warn him then moved on west into Colorado to find a place.
Scout
Great place for peaceful camping. Has big playground for kids and miles of hiking trails, even lakes to fish. Staff very friendly and helpful for anything you need.
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.
Scout
What a great surprise after looking at several campgrounds as far East as Dodge City we found this gem.
TravelerEasy access, plenty of space
GuideNice clean bathrooms and grounds. Quiet. Nancy was very helpful. We will stop here again.
GuideAnother great overnight spot when traveling. Host was warm and friendly and the trains overnight brought back many memories.
GuideAfter a scary, mushy slip slide drive through deep soft red dirt, we arrived to the bottom of the Cimarron River valley for an overnight stay. 50 amps and water on a concrete pad, plus a shade cover over a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Our 34 ft motorhome made it, and we prayed it wouldn't rain before time to leave. Nice campground with trails, a playground, and 3 well placed underground tornado shelters. Great staff (camp hosts) and a well run park.
GuideVery chill park, friendly host and all hookups functioned great. Filled up fairly quickly by 6pm but still plenty of room for more. Didn’t use any of the facilities so have no comment on them. Host appears to not be there during the day time as much. Just read the notes on the Office front door to guide you in the process if the Office is closed.
Traveler
Very quiet, clean, pet friendly! We stayed here for 3 1/2 weeks wile I worked nights. Small showers
GuideAll gravel and rock park surrounded by grass. Long, wide pull through sites plus a row of back ins. No permanent residents, beautiful showers, laundry, clubhouse and office, friendly staff, horse corrals, sunrise and sunsets were gorgeous.
GuideFull hook ups, level sites. Pay on the honor system. No amenities but towns nearby are cute. Great stop if you are passing through.
GuideIt’s flat, easy to get to.. bathrooms are just okay. Not the cleanest, but it’s something. Each spot has water and electric. Plus a covered shelter with picnic tables. For $10 can’t beat it
GuideClose to a small town. Cheap ($10/night for 30 amp & water). Great to recharge the batteries. Small playground, a bit run down. Quiet with few people. Small pond & mulberry trees.
Guide
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.
ScoutThis was a great VERY quiet get away for me and the wife. Not a lot going on in this area during the winter time but this was the perfect place for us to unplug. Nestled just outside Garner State Park has some great scenery. The dog park and surrounding area could have used some more grass in and around it to help keep the mud out of the RV but the dogs enjoyed themselves. All in all a great place for a get away if you're looking to unplug.
RangerEvrything in the other reviews is accurate except for the water. That review was in August. I am here now in very late November. The water is turned off. But electricity and a flat spot of dirt for 10 bucks is a great deal. The only downside is there is really no view. The land is flat in all directions. There are three ponds in the area which are marked membership only. It looks like they are very low, One is dry. There are four pairs of flat campsites on sandy dirt and a little grass. Each pair share an electric pedestal with 2 30 W outlets. Likewise each pair of sites share a pair of picnic tables under a weather shelter. Outside of town. You can hardly hear the highway
RangerWe stopped on the way home to Colorado. It's cheap, level and has 30 amp power and water. Cell coverage is a solid 4bar 4g LTE with Verizon.
For $10 bucks it works. We came through in November and the water was turned off. It has a bathroom but we didn't use it so I can't report on its condition. The park was clean.
ScoutDriving through the small roads of Kansas in the late afternoon we decided we had better find a place to park our van . We found this park, and as it was dark, we really couldn't see our surroundings very well, we drove off the road and found a level spot and turned in for the night. It was okay, being late october I think we were the only people in the park. In the morning we looked around and we might have been in the wrong side of the park. The lake was dry from where we could see. All we wanted to do was rest for the night and get going in the morning so it was good for us.
Scout
We wanted to stay, but we do not have a restroom in our camper, and there is not one on site.
GuideClean little spot with hookups. Friendly and helpful staff. Very affordable. I’ve paid more for a lot less.
