    Small,secluded camp sites on picturesque lawn surrounding 3story red brick farmhouse near Higginsville, MO. Two tent sites. Two or three small RV sites and one parked RV trailer available as a nightly rental. Bathroom with shower available. Water and electric available. Friendly and helpful hosts reside in the big house. There are places to eat nearby. Fire pit with comfortable chairs in corner of yard. Very pleasant stay. Relaxing for the soul.

    Watkins Mill State Park Campground

    Peaceful

    We stayed Sunday-Wednesday and it was very peaceful. Sites are not right on top of each other and it looks like they all have a fire pit and picnic table. There are only a handful of paved spots and you will need leveling blocks on the gravel. Showers and bathrooms are clean and the hosts are very nice. New asphalt roads throughout the park; nice for walking, biking, etc. Be sure to get biscuits & gravy at “The General Store” just down the road from the park entrance.

    Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA

    Crammed in a tent camping field...

    Let's Share COVID and a campfire song. When we booked a tent site in the KOA we didn't expect much but assumed it would work for the night while driving across the USA.  Upon arrival we were a little put off by being stuck with several other tents in a field and noticed we were expected to share our fire ring with the tent next door... this was not ok with us and we left promptly and snagged a nice spot in the nearby Blue Springs Recreation Area. Traveling during summer 2020 has been interesting and to expect strangers to share a fire ring and be crammed very close during a pandemic is not only careless but not fun. UGH

    Worlds of Fun Village

    Novel Campground in Kansas City

    This was an interesting stay at the Worlds of Fun campground. Located on the property there are RV sites and rental cabins. All RV sites were concrete with 50/30/20 amp, water and sewer. Back-in sites on rows 1 and 3 and pull through sites on row 2.

    The theme park offered discounted tickets when staying at the campground and parking for the parks was included. Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun are internally connected, making it easy to walk between the two.

    There is a pool, hot tub, laundry and clean bathrooms with showers. The campground did attempt to improve privacy with strategically placed trees and shrubs.

    Row 1 (sites 1-20) is along a busy highway with semi truck noise 24 hours a day. I recommend either paying more for the pull-through (further from the road) or the back in sites 69-82 in row 3.

    Security was disappointing, as there was no gate to the campground, nor a gate around it. So our campsite (site 2) that backed up to the road was 10 feet off the public sidewalk. Reviews of this campsite on other websites mentioned some petty theft, so we kept our outdoor compartments locked (nothing was stolen).

    Basswood Country RV Resort

    A great place to take the kids/grandkids

    We have been camping at Basswood for several years, first with our children and now with our grandchildren. Basswood provides amenities that are great for entertaining children, includinga swimming pool and splash park, two playgrounds, a basketball goal, and fishing. Every weekend there are organized activities such as arts and crafts, fishing contests, duck races and frozen t-shirt contests in the pool, and a Saturday evening outdoor movie. There is a great little store with alcohol for the adults; ice cream treats, which we enjoy after a swim; and nearly any key item you might have forgotten to pack. Most roads throughout the campground are paved, and the campground is generally well-maintained. We appreciate the full-service RV spots, but there are very nice bathroom facilities, including showers, in two locations in the park.

    Lake Paradise Resort

    A gem being polished!

    We had a fun and relaxing time and loved the woodsy feel to it. We stayed here for a weekend in July 2020 and had a great time!  It is under new ownership and they are working to remodel and renovate all areas. I got to meet one of the owners and one of the owner's kids who works there and they were very nice and very helpful.  In fact, all staff I had contact with were! We had a nice full hookup RV site with a very woodsy feel.  Well shaded, grass and trees, view of water and nice space around us. Gravel site with picnic table and fire ring.  The pool is renovated and very nice. It is very large, zero entry, up to mostly around 5 ft deep with a small area that was 9ft; there is a children's area with a sprinkler. Roads throughout campground are gravel, not paved, if that makes a difference with kids bringing scooters or bikes.  We drove around to see the rest of the campground and saw lots of sites that I'd like to camp in when we come back. The cabins look nice, too. Waved at people sitting in front of them, but did not see inside them.  I'm looking forward to go here again and excited to see the updates they make over the next year!

    Note: Included in your camp fee you get 2 free daily passes per night of camping to the pool and a discounted rate for any other swimmers; so for our family with 4 we had the free passes go to the parents and paid $3 each for the kids to swim & we did this two days.  As long as you have the wrist band on you can come and go all day to the pool.

    Cons: quite a bit of poison oak around the fish cleaning area, shade at the pool is at a minimum, my phone (AT&T) could not get service there.

    Linn County Park

    Nice views!

    Located in east central Kansas on 2600 acre Lake LaCygne (cooling reservoir for KCPL coal-fired power plant). No swimming or skiing allowed, only fishing boats. We stayed on site 112 in View Point Loop next to some permanent residents. There’s no stay limit here so some sites are very messy. Paved roads with gravel sites having W/E, mostly 30A but a few 50A like ours. Check in at the Marina to see which ones are available at this all first come first serve cg. They even have a few FHU sites but I imagine they are all taken by the residents. Nice dump station located in the back of the park along with a few rustic cabins. We enjoyed a waterfront site but there were many 30A sites available in a more wooded setting in several different loops. There are about 113 sites here.

    Basswood Country RV Resort

    Tidy and well run park

    This park is convient to I-29 but far enough off the highway to be quiet and peaceful. Tent sites, full hookups as well as rooms and cabins are available. As a point of interest, this used to be a favorite fishing spot of President Harry S. Truman, check out the Mother in Law cabin—built at his request.

    Knob Noster State Park Campground

    Great relaxing campground with many activities

    Beautiful secluded campsite - amenities were clean. Kayak rentals were available for Lake Buteo - kayakers were out on the lake, and the lake has a trail all around it. Nice trail. The other lake, Clearfork Lake, was great for fishing for us! We did have a problem with Raccoons, but with our site being on the very edge of the sites I think that may be inevitable.


Guide to Lee's Summit

The area experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F, while spring and fall offer milder conditions ideal for outdoor activities. Many cabin accommodations include access to lakes and trail systems within a 30-minute drive of Lee's Summit.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Fish at one of several stocked lakes near cabin rentals, including the five small lakes at Basswood Country RV Resort where a fishing license isn't required. "You could fish in the lakes and didn't even need a license. We watched kids get excited as they caught fish after fish," notes a visitor. The resort also offers cabin accommodations with easy access to fishing spots.

Hiking trails: Explore the trails at Watkins Mill State Park Campground which features a paved walking/biking trail around the lake. "Beautiful campground with paved access, trees spots and a nice lake. Clean facilities include plenty of stalls and sinks, separate showers and laundry," reports one camper. The park's cabin options provide a comfortable base for trail exploration.

Theme park access: Stay in cabins at Worlds of Fun Village for direct access to the adjacent amusement parks. "The theme park offered discounted tickets when staying at the campground and parking for the parks was included. Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun are internally connected, making it easy to walk between the two," explains a visitor. Cabin rentals here provide a convenient base for park adventures.

What campers like

Private outdoor spaces: Campers appreciate the outdoor seating areas at Green Acres at Red Brick Farmhouse cabin accommodations. "Small, secluded camp sites on picturesque lawn surrounding 3-story red brick farmhouse near Higginsville, MO. Fire pit with comfortable chairs in corner of yard," reports a reviewer. The property's parked RV trailer rental provides a unique cabin-style lodging option.

Renovated facilities: The recently updated amenities at Lake Paradise Resort receive positive feedback. "We had a fun and relaxing time and loved the woodsy feel to it. The pool is renovated and very nice. It is very large, zero entry, up to mostly around 5 ft deep with a small area that was 9ft; there is a children's area with a sprinkler," explains a visitor.

Clean bathhouses: Many cabin rental locations maintain clean bathroom facilities. "Very clean bath/shower facilities. Close proximity to the interstate does come with some traffic noise. Many retail options within a short drive," notes a visitor to Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA. The campground's cabins provide access to these well-maintained amenities.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Some cabin rentals have limited seasonal availability. Worlds of Fun Village operates from March 1 to October 30, coinciding with the amusement park schedule. "Stopped here on our way south for spring break. The amusement park was not open yet, so the campground area was relatively quiet and the price for full hookups was not bad," explains a visitor.

Space limitations: Cabin sites vary significantly in size and privacy. "The RV sites were right on top of each other so would not great. Very little green space but had a lot of amenities and the cleanest bathrooms!" reports a visitor at Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA. Consider booking well in advance for more spacious cabin options.

Airport noise: Certain cabin locations experience overhead aircraft. At Basswood Country RV Resort, "The campground is on the final approach for the airport, so you get to see a lot planes flying overhead, which you don't even notice cause they are quieter than they used to be. I think they shut down flights around 10pm," explains a camper.

Tips for camping with families

Weekend activities: Choose cabin rentals with organized events for children. "Every weekend there are organized activities such as arts and crafts, fishing contests, duck races and frozen t-shirt contests in the pool, and a Saturday evening outdoor movie," notes a family who visited Basswood Country RV Resort repeatedly with children and grandchildren.

Kid-friendly recreation: Select cabin accommodations near playgrounds and swimming. "Nice accommodations from camping spots, motel rooms, cabins and houses. Well ran. Golf carts, a pool, activities for the kids," shares a visitor about Basswood's family-friendly atmosphere.

Wildlife awareness: Be prepared for wildlife encounters at cabin locations. At Knob Noster State Park Campground, one visitor mentioned, "We did have a problem with Raccoons, but with our site being on the very edge of the sites I think that may be inevitable." Secure food and garbage properly when staying in cabins.

Tips from RVers

Proximity considerations: Check the location of utilities when booking cabin sites. At Kansas City East-Oak Grove KOA, one RVer noted, "Only negatives were our hookups were literally in the next site next to their table, and their fire ring was very close to our trailer." This applies to cabin accommodations as well when considering outdoor cooking and dining.

Varied terrain: Be aware of site placement in hilly areas when choosing cabin rentals. "Roads going up higher past us were a little rough but made for great walks with kids," explains a visitor to Lake Paradise Resort. Cabin locations on higher terrain may offer better views but potentially more difficult access.
