    Cimarron Campground - Cimarron National Grassland

    One night on the plains

    Great 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.

    Beymer Water Recreation Park

    Easy yet secluded

    It’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

    Beymer Water Recreation Park

    Cheap water & electric sites

    Close 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.

    Would Not Stay Here

    I 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.

    Beymer Water Recreation Park

    Quiet and empty

    Quiet spot, 2 miles out of town. Little highway noise, for $10 with electric and water, it’s perfect! Good sunset view, small pond ( requires membership to fish) lots of birds around.

    Beymer Water Recreation Park

    Great overnight stay

    Nice quiet place with covered picnic tables (a bit weathered) , pretty level grassy spots. ~8 - 30 amp (no 50 amp) w water... and some more primitive camp spots as well. We were the only ones there so it was a great stop for $10! Stayed May 2021 - was dry when we arrived, rained that night - no problems leaving. We went in the entrance off the main road and had to weave around to the site but believe there is an entrance off the dirt road right before the park.. (refer to a satellite view vs GPS)

    Cimarron Campground - Cimarron National Grassland

    Semi-Boondocking

    Cimarron 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. During the summer they are stocked with catfish. 23 miles Santa Fe Trail are within the Parks boundaries. Bobwhite, and coyote, dear and other birds spotted through the Park. CAUTION: Before you get to site 1, there are 2 trees the one on the left has the scars to show the damage it has done to taller vehicles(we are 13.11 and just received a slight raspberry a couple layers of self leveling caullk and all is good for now!).

    Beymer Water Recreation Park

    Great water sport stop.

    If you play on the water, then this might just work for you. There were no water hook ups. There is power available but every site is shared so no privacy. They are under trees so shade was good. Sites are unimproved and very soft when wet. Folks are generally nice.

    Very minimal.

    In the middle of seemingly no where... Great one night stop. A few electronic & water hook ups. No dump station that I've found. Dogs should be on leash, but no one here and no one to bother.

    Cimarron Campground - Cimarron National Grassland

    Unexpected Beauty

    The 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!
