Denise Eagles
Clean,quiet and spacious campground. Plenty of room around sites for kids to play and walk the dogs. We opted for the premium site with concrete pad on the corner and it was well worth it. The host, Steve, was very accommodating. He was always riding around on the golf cart making sure things were clean and picked up... he also came by in the evening and made a last call for firewood. Only thing missing was a dog park so you'll need to bring your outdoor pen. Also love that the leash rule was strictly enforced. Happy camping!

Very nice, clean and quiet. Most all RVs with a couple campervans. Not extremely private spots but good enough for a night to rest and continue on my journey.

We loved everything about this place. It was an easy Uber ride to Kauffman Stadium and the staff was very kind and helpful. Great playground, fire pits, and the campsites were simply outstanding.

I give this campground a high rating. For having full hookup, just under 170 dollars for 4 nights, have my own domain, unlike a hotel that would probably have less privacy and more restrictions, Im a Happy Camper. If we come back this way, we'll camp there again. Steve at guard shack was so nice as well. Oh!! And I've never seen such long picnic tables in my life!! Had to use 2 and overlap them to cover it. Haha

Be careful many of the spots on the outer ring slope downward. If you have a small rig it won't be an issue but with our 35' fifth wheel we couldn't have gotten into them. Very clean bathrooms! We camped at Fleming Park/Blue Springs Campground in a Fifth Wheel. If you have a large rig consider getting a paved spot. We would definitely return. The staff is wonderful
