Easy to navigate ramp, plenty of room to swing the truck & trailer around. Plenty of parking.
Dona Hicks
Very good campground. Electric and water hook ups, gravel sites, big area for playing outdoor games, comes with burn pit and picnic table. Most sights one is able to see the lake. Great place for families and there is room to set up a tent

Love this park. The sites are spread out and beautiful views of the lake. Not to expensive and clean.

I’d give 0 stars if I could based solely on the park attendant John. My family has come down here for years and have camped with several different attendants and never had there been someone this bad. John did not clean the campsite before we got there, the previous campers left some trash and charcoal in the pit and he had the audacity to ask my older grandparents to clean their site themselves. Like the other review said, he comes into your campsite unwelcome and asks for stuff. He went as far as to ask for a ride from the campground to Bolivar (16+ away) and Galmey, and other places too. He uses his personal phone to call and ask for rides from his home to near where my grandparents live (would end up being hours worth of driving for my grandparents). VERY CREEPY. My grandparents did not consent to receiving calls from him outside of campsite related information. They are NOT friends. He does not keep the park very clean or the amenities. He does not seem to actually clean the bathrooms, he just empties the trash cans every now and then. He doesn’t clean the feminine waste basket much at all (pictured). There’s mold and caked on poop from when the toilets backed up over a month ago (pictured) and it hasn’t been thoroughly cleaned since. The guy is weird and intrusive and makes campers uncomfortable. Even though we’ve been coming multiple times per year for several years now, we’ll pick a different campsite next year if John is still the attendant.

Love camping here and the grounds. However the park attendant John is a creep. He has knocked on our camper door at 630 am. Comes into your camp uninvited, asking for food, beer, or whatever he wants. As a camper I have no interest in making small talk with a weirdo park attendant. I'm not the only one who feels this way as us campers have discussed in length the situation john is putting us in. I hope they fix this issue for this season, not sure we can deal with it any longer

Definitely the nicest cleanest camp ground on the lake. Sophia the camp host is the most friendly and helpful host I have witnessed at any rv park. We will be back again. Thank you Sophia for making us feel like family.

This is our second family camping trip there and this year was even better. The new camp host (Sophie) has done an amazing job cleaning up and keeping it clean. Huge difference from last year. The shower house and bathrooms looked and smelled good. The campsites were well taken care of. I would highly recommend this to family’s to visit.

This campground is beautiful and clean. The park host was AMAZING! She was very helpful and accommodating. My family and I have been camping in Kansas for over 6 years now and have never had such an outstanding camp host! We will definitely be coming back!
