Price was with Good Sam Discount. A very nice, clean park, staffed with cheerful, friendly and helpful people. The whole park is very generously graveled, preventing dust and mud, and although the hookups are side by side, they placed us between two empty sites. Many trees, which in the summer will provide needed shade. Much of the park is taken by long-term oil workers and engineers. The bathhouse, although dated, is immaculate. It is the oddest set-up I’ve ever seen: both the men’s and the women’s rooms have one toilet, separated from the shower/vanity area by a shower curtain. The twin showers, although closed at the front by shower curtains, had nothing to close them off from each other, resulting in one big shower with two heads. This causes you to lock the door while showering, which could cause lineups. The grounds are equally immaculate: no trash or cigarette butts here. The free CATV and WIFI were perfect. Altogether a super place to stay before or after visiting Wichita, which is 25 miles west and whose campgrounds are rudimentary to say the least. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Older trailer park just added in a RV section. Two trees, lots of gravel. Nice people, they were remodeling all the time I was there. This place can be hard to find. The map is very confusing. Don't know about amenities, I was too tired to ask. People seemed nice. Working their hump off upgrading the park. Give them a try. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The only things we enjoyed about this park were that the owner was nice and they had free cable TV and free WiFi. Aside from that, there's not much to rave about. The sites are extremely narrow (less than 18 feet - I measured it), nothing is paved or even asphalt (it's all small gauge gravel), the sites aren't clearly marked, and no discounts of any kind are honored here. While it's okay for a one-night stay, we wouldn't recommend staying any longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I arrived early in the day and decided to stay at Deer Grove while visiting family in the area. I was there just about a month. It was very affordable, nice clean sites that accommodated us very well. The shower house and laundry were always very clean. We enjoyed being able to have free cable and wireless internet. The staff was always friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed for $250 for a month. The sites look large when you go in but they don't tell you that they are for 2 RV's. The sites are pull thrus although, for the 2nd rig to be able to pull through they ask you to move in your slide out so they can get it past you. So you are in and out with the slide outs. The park is more for workers and not full time retired RVers. It's a good price but don't expect much. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The RV park is considerably cheaper than staying at the nearby state park. It has graveled sites and good sized trees (no grass). There's a storm shelter, so you don't need to worry about tornados. It's just 3 miles to town and handy to the lake. They have a clubhouse for rallies or to rent out. The staff was very obliging and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park that is updated and well kept its finally nice to see pride in ownership. Manager/owner was very helpful and even escorted us to our site. Park was very quiet and has a great mixture of shade and sites that are open without shade. Cable TV was great for me and my wife loved the free wireless internet. Great park for the full timer. They even have a tornado shelter that sits under their laundry room. I got a chance to check out their clubhouse it is very impressive with 1 big screen TV and 2 smaller ones all linked together with a full kitchen. This is by far the best put together park I have seen in the midwest. We might try to schedule our next RV rally here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has a lot to offer with lakeside campsites that have hookups and are mostly pull-through type sites. There is a moderate amount of shade available and the sites are quite large. There is ice and firewood available as well as daily newspaper. Groceries and WalMart are close by in ElDorado. Without a dish we were able to get 9 TV stations which was nice. The shorelines are very accessible for watercraft and swimming. We had a very good experience camping here and will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites fronting lake are excellent. Sites across the road from lake can experience soft mud when it rains and are close together. Only a few sites can be reserved. Lots of opportunity for water sports including swimming, boating, jet-skies and fishing. We camped here in a camper.
