The Great Escape RV and Camp Resort sits in open terrain just off Interstate 70 in Higginsville, with full hookups for RVs and level pull-through sites. Campers report consistent road noise from the nearby highway, though some find ways to mask the sound. The campground lacks shade at most RV sites, though tent areas offer some tree cover.
Facilities include clean bathrooms, a stocked fishing pond, playground, and dog park with ample open space for pets to roam. The on-site grill serves dinner and drinks, while laundry facilities handle longer stays. AT&T cell service works reliably throughout the property. Those exploring the region can find additional camping areas around Higginsville for extended itineraries.
Description
Welcome to The Great Escape RV & Camp Resort. We have owned the park since September, 2008 and we are working hard to improve our park every year. We now have 67 spots for your RV enjoyment! Plus, we have tenting spots available too!
Since taking over we have upgraded the electrical and water service and made several improvements to the sites. Within the next few seasons we will be rehabbing the sites - removing the concrete strips and leveling and adding grass and bushes for a more pleasant atmosphere.
We have added a meeting room in the lower level of the clubhouse that comfortably hold up to 50 people. Meeting room is Heated/Air Conditioned and has a full kitchen, including stove, refrigerator and microwave oven.
We have finished the clubhouse and it is ready for use. The clubhouse can accommodate up to 100 people comfortably. It will be open to rent for camping clubs, rallies, weddings, showers, etc. The Bar & Grill is open every Friday and Saturday from 4PM to 10PM. We have beer and wine along with bottles and carry out as well. Phil's Best in the Area Burgers are awesome and we suggest everyone try them! He has other bar foods ready for your enjoyment. He does catering for your events on or off property. Just give the office a call and we can get you a menu! Come and enjoy our pool! It will be open Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day and later if the weather allows. We are giving our playground equipment a facelift and adding to it as we can. It will be moved from its current location at some point to the middle of the park.
We hope you consider staying with us on your next journey, whether just for the night, a weekend or an extended stay.
