      Wichita Bend RV Park

      Great little place right off the highway

      There is water and 30a electric at every site I believe some sites have 50 amps as well. There is a 72-hour limit. It's right next to the highway so there is road noise. Sites are level water pressure is good and electric is pretty stable. The park is very clean.

      Breath of air

      It's a good little spot on the edge of town to go eat lunch, do some thinking, or fish for fun. Around the holidays it lights up and is just an all around good place to go for free

      Very nice no frills

      We pulled in at 10:30 pm but very easy to park in pull through spot. Clean, flat, gravel spots with electric and water. Put $15 in an envelope as required. Will definitely stay here again when we head this way.

      Pretty run down and amenities not accurate:

      THERE ARE NO SHOWERS OR FLUSH TOILETS INCLUDED IN THIS STAY ACCORDING TO CITY WORKERS…when we arrived I went into the building to check out showers and a lady asked me what I was doing then informed the showers are for paid pool goers and there are vault toilets by the rv dump site, but they were locked. The sites are all covered in hitchhiker burrs, our dog found them all haha. The sites have water hookups but they’re in-ground and several are washed out so almost impossible to hook to without getting mud in your hose.

      Red River Rose RV Resort

      Best campground around

      All I can say is WOW, from the scenery, beautiful flowers display, to catch and release fishing to the adorable baby ducks this park is BEAUTIFUL! My husband and I absolutely love it here. Before arrival I spoke with Echo about what we needed in order to accommodate our stay and she was able to answer all our questions, upon arrival we met the sweetest young woman Taylor in the front office, she gave us all the information we needed, some history of the park and suggested restaurants and things to do locally. Brandon who informed us he did repairs and would be more then willing to help us as we are new to the RVing. The next morning we was having a minor cable issue(user error silly me) a gentleman name Anthony came to our site and had as ready to go in no time as the storms were coming in I wanted to be weather aware, as the day went on we was amazed by how much Anthony and the other gentleman outside did( I think his brother; they look a lot alike) to keep the park beautiful as well as helping anyone who stopped them throughout the day! 10/10 recommend this park and will be sharing with all my friends and family. Although, I didn’t get to meet Debra the manager this time during our stay, her staff spoke highly of her I believe she is doing a great job with the staff she has on hand. I am completely blown away and amazed with how much hospitality and joy this park brought us, you don’t see it much anymore. This park has such a homey feeling, the staff all seem like family and make you feel like you are apart of them. Keep up the good work red river rose you have definitely earned our business for many more years to come.

      Awesome Hidden Jem of a Lake & Campground

      The new park manager is very nice, very accommodating and helpful. Park is clean, great fishing off the dam, kayak, carry on boats, and such. The lake is absolutely beautiful, great for family outings and gatherings - there are fire pits for fires, picnic tables, and grills. Great place for the dogs as well, loved walking the dam.

      Red River Rose RV Resort

      Lovely but noisy

      We stayed for an overnight with our 36’ trailer. It was easy to find and we chose the easiest spot to park. Our spot had a cement pad which was mostly level. The resort is well maintained and clean. Looks like a fun location with kids. Staff was polite and helpful.

      Propane refill available on site (big plus).

      Be ready for highway noise and the occasional train whistle.

      Kiowa Park II Marina

      Didn't mow............

      Spent 9/29-10/1 at Kiowa II campground.  The RV parking pads are paved and were  level.  The sites are spacious.  Pull-through and back-in sites are available.  Pull-through sites are for shorter RVs as they are a tightly curved.

      The biggest drawback is that they didn't mow....even for reserved locations!!!  The grass seed heads were no less than knee high.  This caused us to have to park our RV at an angle on the pad to get out of the grass getting caught in our door.

      Additionally,  I walked to the bathroom at the swim beach and was very disappointed and amazed at the thick mature growth of sand burr sticker plants allowed along the beach.  There was a strip about 4-8' wide and approximately 40-60' long at the point the beach meets the grass.  The sand burr plants were also growing throughout the grass area.  I WOULD NOT STAY AT THIS CAMPGROUND IF I HAD RESERVED A SPOT THERE.  There appears to be no grass management at all in this area where children and adults generally would want to go barefoot.  Wish I had taken a pic... :(

      THEN, in different bathroom at the Kiowa II campground, I found a snake skin wrapped around the bottom of a toilet!!!  This is in a bathroom with a closed door.  There was another snake skin in the waste basket between the sinks.  The light was also out in the ladies side of the bathroom.

      Lights out at night !

      I stopped in on the 23rd of September, 92 degrees some wind, lady at check in extremely friendly and helpful. Sites are spaced about 100 ft apart, lots of privacy. Very good place to spend a few days. BUT, lights out at night, bugs by the millions. I didn’t fish but a few were, didn’t see much results , too hot! Grounds are very clean and well kept, a Ranger lives on sight. Play ground for the kids.

      Awesome place

      I stayed here September 4th. Literally on labor day. It's a large campground with lots of space between most sites. It was completely silent only a handful of campers spaced way apart. Lots of spots on the water with easy access to the water. It's beautifully maintained even the bathrooms are clean. No trash this place is spotless and beautiful and quiet.
      I was just going to stay a night but I honestly might stay the full 14 days. I basically have a private beach. Only problem is it's seasonal. Also I have Virizon. I had 4 bars worked fine.

      Quiet and quaint

      Easy to book, camp host messaged us when the site was ready and gave us directions on how to get hooked up The host also sent us photos and info on things to do close by. very quiet campground, kid’s play area (our boys played at it as much as they could), trees helped keep us cool outside, grass was a little tall for my liking, but there has been storm, after storm, after rain in this area lately so that’s expected. Very nice fire pit, firewood was set up and ready to make campfire and more firewood was available if we needed it. Overall, perfect for our quick, weekend family getaway!
