Very nice park, huge lots with plenty of room for the family. Very clean and friendly staff. We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend, they even had a nice small fireworks show over the reservoir one night. Enjoyed seeing the small towns surrounding the park; we especially enjoyed the town of Ellis. We will stay here again. I would suggest reservations; I heard the park is crowded on the weekends. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate above is based on W&E only. There is an extra charge for sewer. The sewer sites are reservable and often filled on weekends. The W&E sites in Wagon Rut Campground, the section we stayed in, were huge, gravel, pull through and excellent for family play. This is a fishing lake so lots of campers with boats. Nearest towns are about 15 miles so bring food and entertainment. Quiet during the week but busy park on weekends. It is always windy in western Kansas so bring a kite. Friendly park staff willing to answer questions and offer ideas for scenic views. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found this to be a very nice well kept campground. Everyone was very helpful and nice. My only complaint was that the showers seemed to only have cold water. Other than that a very nice stay. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a really nice campground. The sites are huge, well-maintained, and level. Park personnel are very nice. There are several campgrounds on each side of the lake - we stayed in the Broken Spur area. Nice tent camping areas. The one problem we encountered there was that there was no hot water in the showers. The staff told us the next morning that they would look into it. We would stay here again, assuming the hot water is fixed! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very cool campground! What a great way to experience small town Kansas. The park is spacious, level and well shaded. Wi-fi was extra, but was strong and dependable. Power and water were a stretch, but we made it work. The town police officer who stopped by to collect our fees was very friendly. We only had time to stay one night, but we'll definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice campground operated by the city. The grounds are well cared for, there are large shade trees and a nice view of a small lake. It is a pleasant place to stay. Water & electric hookups are shared and the sites are wide so I had to use my extension cord and an extra length of water hose... be prepared. The police officer who came to collect our fees was very friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice campground. Well manicured, with excellent shade. Good water and electrical connections. It is a city park and police collect the money, so there is good security. Would definitely camp there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Wonderful city park with water, power (30 & 50 amp service) right on Big Creek. We don’t know how long you can stay here since it isn’t posted anywhere, although we've been here 10 days so far. Our site is level on a packed gravel & dirt surface with lots of green grass on each side with plenty of room for all of our slides and awnings. This little gem is well maintained by the city and it’s nice to know that the police drive through at night. Wifi is available for $3.95 a day or 7 days for $15.00 and my husband said it works well. There are train tracks very close to the park and it does sound it’s whistle at night although it doesn’t wake us up. Trash cans are conveniently located along the road. A dump station is located on the south side of the bathhouse with very easy access. Verizon Cell phone & Aircard signals were excellent. There’s a market nearby and if you’re looking for a Super Wal-Mart there’s one located in Hayes, 17 miles to the east. You can see it from the I-70. We would gladly stay here again when passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was a great find!. There are beautiful trees and a lake. Big pull through sites. Easy to get to. I recommend this park if you are needing a place to park for the night. Police picks up the $15.00 and patrols the park a few times through the night. I'm not sure what you would do for an extended stay, but it is a great place for the night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice partially shaded sites with huge oak trees above. Quiet campground managed by the city. Only about 1 mile from I-70. Walking distance to everything in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent overnight spot while on road. All sites are pull-throughs. Large shade trees with lots of open grass. Small playground for kids. Many locals were fishing or swimming in river. Grills and tables at each site. Clean & attractive. Patroled by local police (friendly) who collect fee. Felt safe there. Sound of water going over dam great for sleeping. Had awesome breakfast at Alloways Restaurant in Ellis. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a city park in a small quiet town. Nightly fees are collected by the police each
day. Campground is quiet and there is good fishing in Big Creek at your door. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
