This is a large campground located on a lake with easy access in and out of it. Only about half of the listed sites are for RVs. The rest are tent sites. The park is divided into several looped sections with paved or gravel roads and a mixture of utility setups. The RV sites, all generally level with picnic tables and fire rings, are either concrete, paved, or gravel. Tent sites are grass. Water and voltage was good. The sites in the main section are all 50 amps, but not all of those have sewer. It is the only section that has trees. There are a handful of pull thru sites in the water and electric only sections of the campground. Bathhouses that were observed were clean and the grounds are well maintained. There is a nice boat ramp. No playground. There are quite a few seasonals, but they do not preclude getting a good site. The campground appears to be a storage lot for numerous older, unoccupied RVs. They are scattered through out, but mostly on the tent sites. The best way to get a good site is to drive thru before registering. Disregard the “This Site Reserved” signs. The park staff does a poor job of updating them. The biggest drawback of this campground is that you pay an entry fee, vehicle fee, and a fee for each utility which then raises the price to the level of a commercial C/G with amenities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Huge Park with 300 tent and 121 RV, plus you can dry camp on the lake's edge in undeveloped areas. Flat and grassy. Not a lot of shade. Our concrete pad had chain hooks in the concrete so that you could chain your RV down in the event of high wind (tornado?) Oh my. Great recreation lake for boating, fishing, personal watercraft, skiing. Swim beach. Kansas has complicated rate structure: daily State Park entrance fee (or annual pass) plus camp fee, plus utility fees broken down by one, two or three utilities, plus "premium site" fee if pull through. Take your calculator. Cawker City is nearby...world's largest ball of twine. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
