    Owl Creek Market and RV Park

    Great place to stay overnight.

    This was a great park for us to pull over and get off the freeway overnight we did it on our way to Kansas from MI and from Kansas to MI. The store was very nice and the staff there were friendly and accommodative.The only thing I would recommend is getting some shade in the center of the park where the pull-throughs are on concrete.

    Blue Springs Lake Campground

    Perfect Spot

    Great campsite, very clean… Bathrooms were spotless. As washer and dryer, showers, three toilets, playground for kids, firewood for sale.

    This is not campsite- this overnight sleep parking situation

    It was a great camping spot until. At least 10-15 cars drove in out of the area to see if available and then at around 9:30 pm pitch black someone decided to camped. It’s not very quiet at all. You will wake up from cars driving almost evreytime. There’s people that live in that area that were driving and screaming at each other driving 4x4 little cars. I hate camping in the Midwest

    Fine Tenting

    8/11/2025

    Fine tenting at this site (60). Easy enough to get stakes in, and a pretty reasonable price ($15) especially since there are plenty of shower/bath houses to make use of.

    Mayview RV Park

    Small town charm, CHEAP!

    $20/night including full hookups! Town population only 600. There’s a bar & grill and a brunch cafe around the corner from the RV park. Payment is self serve, no reservations. Couldn’t get WiFi to work but cell connection (T-Mobile) was fine

    Blue Springs Lake Campground

    Great Campground!

    The whole experience was awesome. The entire place was spotless, the sites were far apart enough that you didn't feel like your neighbors were on top of you. Bathrooms were incredibly clean and the camp hosts or some of the nicest ones I've ever encountered! I think their names were Robin and Jim. 5 stars for sure!

    Easy access

    Its easy to find, snuggled between the corn crops and river! There are 2 camping spaces, that are good sized with a fire pit. Directly on the river with a boat ramp as an added perk!

    Great spot

    This is great secluded spot, right off the highway. Perfect for what I was looking for to car camp.

    Crow's Creek Campground

    More for Family Gatherings, Not for a Nature Escape

    Crows Creek Campground is fine if you’re just looking for a place to get out of the house, be outside, and hang out with family, but it’s not great for anyone hoping to feel truly “out in nature.” The campground is huge, with several loops and tons of sites. The RV loops were packed and felt really crowded, while the tent site loops were almost empty during our July visit.

    One big downside for me was the lack of trees—there’s maybe one tree per tent site and even fewer around the RV spots. Shade is minimal, and there’s really no sense of being in the woods. To top it off, the campground has a lot of rules, like no fires past midnight and no tying hammocks to trees (not that there are enough trees to even try).

    If your goal is simply to camp near the lake with a big group or family, this place works fine. But if you’re looking for a quiet, natural setting or a campground that feels like an escape. This just doesn't feel like camping to me.
