RV parks in Kansas are few and far between. We "discovered" this one by necessity as the KOA we intended to go to further east in Wakeeny turned out to be closed for the season when we arrived (after calling ahead and being told that it would be open). We forged ahead to Oakley as darkness fell after a 500 mile run from central Missouri. This is a no frills park but has big spaces that are easy to get into (gravel). When we arrived we discovered that the owner was away at a conference. But she kept the park open and set things up for an honor system of payment. The Wi-Fi works wonderfully, unlike the situation at many more upscale parks that should and could have better systems. The park gets high marks because its here and the owner runs it conscientiously. We would recommend it for anyone in this neck of Kansas. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The owner, is wonderful--she even asked me if I had a AAA card so I could get a discount! The campground is extremely clean and the rest room and shower facilities are a delight to use. Washers and dryers are available for use at the registration area along with an array of sightseeing/camping information from several states. There is a large game room as well as a wonderful organic garden. We will definitely stay here again next year! We camped here in a Tent.
We stopped here as an overnight spot en route home to Colorado. The hostess was very nice and informative, and our spot was easy to access, a nice, level pull-through spot. We didn't even have to unhook! The spots are all grass, which made it very nice. There is a big Travel Plaza for gas across the street, and the Colonial Steakhouse is a short walk from the campground, and the food was pretty good for a restaurant in the middle of Kansas! The free garden was pretty picked over, as it was late Summer when we stopped there (almost Fall), but my wife found a nice pumpkin which she took with her. I'd definitely recommend this place as a stopover place en route to somewhere else. As there is not much in the area, it really isn't a destination campground, but then it does not try to be. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here going to and coming back from Oregon, probably the best stop we made. The Colonial Steak house is just outside the fence of the RV park and we took advantage of their excellent steaks. This park is a must stop for anyone traveling on I-70 or US-83. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice park: sites were spacious and level and easy to maneuver. Good electric, water, and Wi-Fi. A great place to relax and take it easy: too bad we were on a schedule and only spent one night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice little campground. Level sites, Wi-Fi worked. They have a free organic garden. We got a mess of beans for dinner. Very friendly. Would recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good Sam rate. The best campground we have stayed in during this three month trip. Nicely landscaped, wide level gravel site. Good TV and very good Wi-Fi, as promised. Many amenities including the organic garden and mini-golf. Wish we could have stayed longer. Very friendly and efficient owner. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lovely park -- best we've found in 30 years of RVing. Every attention given to the comfort and convenience of the visitor, including double showers for those needing assistance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is probably the nicest overnight park we've ever been to. Check in was quick and easy, and the store was the most well stocked I've ever seen at an RV park. The U Pick organic garden is awesome. The sites are level and for a road-side park, decent sized. There was plenty of space to walk our dog, which was also nice. Compared to most places we've stayed, High Plains has the best amenities and was a very nice place to stay. I'd definitely stay again, should we ever find ourselves in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wow, we were pleasantly surprised. This was a GREAT campground. If you have dogs, this is the place for you. Our entire site was grass. The dogs loved it. The park is large enough for a good walk and the campground has a large, fenced in dog run. One warning, there are wild rabbits everywhere. They drove our pups crazy. The showers were wonderful. Great water pressure and very clean! The owner is wonderful. She is so accommodating. The previous comment re: poor TV reception is true, but one channel came in great. We don't really care about the TV. The WiFi worked perfectly! We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Convenient to I70 and good for overnight. Antenna TV and Wi-Fi had terrible reception. Roads and sites are gravel with grass between the sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We overnighted here and it served our purpose admirably. The owner is super nice and goes out of her way to get you situated in a suitable site. She helped us locate some particular services in the town of Oakley and even made a phone call for us. The only improvements we could see would be to pave the sites and interior roads and to provide cable or satellite tv. We never use swimming pools or hot tubs/spas even if they are provided. There was remarkably little highway noise even though it is near a freeway and a very busy highway. There is a playground for kids. The trees we saw didn't provide much of shade. The entire campground was very well groomed and extremely neat and tidy. The owner has making improvements since she took it over and is doing well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The park is OK but overpriced at $30 for one night beside the expressway. This is a traveling overnight only park. The office staff was very nice & helpful but we could not get the WiFi to work. They charge $2 additional for more than 2 guests. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was one of the first ones we stayed in with the travel trailer we had just purchased. The park was gravel and generally in good repair. The sites were easily accessed. Most every site had a pull through which makes it easy on the first time RV owner. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place was a nice stop just off I-70. The owner was very friendly. The roads and sites were gravel and in good condition. Sites were open, plenty long, and level, but just a bit close to each other. There were no trees to speak of, but this is the “plains.” Each site had a table, but due to the almost constant wind, fires were not allowed. The free Wi-Fi worked well, but there was no cable TV. Three off-air stations were available with good reception. There appeared to be several activities for families—playground, mini-golf—but no pool. Restrooms/showers were older, but clean. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is right off I-70 with easy access to the park and your site. The park is mostly gravel with some grass between the sites which are mostly pull-through. It had been raining, but there was enough gravel that the roads and spaces were not muddy. Even though the park is close to the interstate, we didn't notice much traffic noise. The office was closed when we got there, but our reservation along with a map to our site was waiting for us outside the office. When I went to pay later, the lady in the office was very friendly and helpful. The park is right next to a steak house that offers a buffet as well as menu items. We opted to order off the menu and found it delicious. We would definitely stay at this park again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy access to this park and to your site. Nice wide long spots.Grass in between each spot and the base of gravel is very level. The park is very well layed out and kept very clean. Owner was friendly and very welcoming. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The only reason this park is not getting a 10 is it did not have cable. Friendly staff, clean park, wide sites. The restroom/showers were clean and had air conditioning. It was off the highway, easy on and off. My site was on the grass, it was level. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was a nice park for our overnight stay. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The sites are gravel and were level. There are small patches of grass between sites, but most of the campground is gravel. There was a well worn picnic table outside. No fires or charcoal grilling because of the windy and dry climate. Most of the sites do not have shade. We did have a very hard, fast rain and it did flood, but most of the water had soaked into the ground by morning. Even though the sites are side by side, they park every other one. There are 3 hot tubs, but no pool. The laundry room is large with public internet access if you do not have your own. Washers are $1.50 and dryers are at least $.50 but more likely $1.00. There is a lot of free travel information for surrounding states in the laundry room. Wi Fi is free and was a good connection. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great campground for an overnight stay when heading through Kansas on I-70 or US 83. Easy on-off of both roads, but the large sign for the campground is after the entrance when driving north on US 83. Extra long pull-throughs are level and roof-top internet satellite dish friendly. Good restaurant adjacent to the campground. We are full-time RVers and stopped for the night as we have before and will again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just our kind of campground. Roomy sites, rural type setting, large grassy areas for walking the dogs, very nice owner/operator. Not a "resort" type place, but we don't look for pools, spas, hot tubs, games, get-togethers, or "activities". We like a clean, roomy, quiet, friendly campground, where we are comfortable with the dogs, where the hookups are well-placed and work well, and where the in-and-out is easy. We were in a 40' motorhome towing a car and it was very easy to get around without unhooking the car. We will definitely stay here again, if we are here again at days' end. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Long level pull thru sites, and the Wifi was excellent. Ample facilities in the restrooms, and they were spotless. The store is very well stocked, and the prices are reasonable. It was surprisingly quiet, even though I-70 is very close. The nearby Colonial Steakhouse was very good. We will definitely come back here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Like many Western campgrounds this is a gravel parking lot. Sites were large and mainly pull thru. No cable, but about 4 stations available with the batwing. Staff nice. Very nice laundry room and cheap also. Good for a one nighter. Easy in and easy out. Very windy, but that not their fault. We would return. Rates is Good Sam rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is very clean, has easy on/off access (even for big rigs)from I-70, and the staff is very friendly. The wifi was not working, and the power plug socket was broken on our site. We discovered that problem after it was too late to get someone to fix it. The socket was broken and we had to keep getting up every few hours through the night to get it to make contact. My biggest problem with the park? It's too pricey for what you get. Rates of about $20.00 would be more appropriate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
When I first pulled into this campground I was leary about staying here. I did decide to stay and I am glad I did. The laundry room, campstore, and bathrooms were spotless. The staff was very friendly. There is not a lot to do in Oakley, KS and the campground is a great place to stop for a couple nights. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Campground on the corner of I70 and Highway 83. Good signage and wide entrance to campground with good area to stop and register. Office friendly and efficient. Good access roads to flat pull-thru but narrow gravel sites. Sites could have done with a bit more maintenance. Laundry was spotless with plenty of machines and also travel guides/information. Surprisingly muted road noise. Good place for overnight or visiting Monument Rocks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was one of the nicest campgrounds we stayed in during our month-long cross-country trip. The bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever seen! The staff were all very pleasant. When we woke and discovered we had a flat tire the female owner/manager came with an air compressor and then called ahead for us to the tire repair shop in town where we could get the flat fixed. Less than 50 yards from the campground office is the Colonial Restaurant which served the best cheeseburger we ever ate! We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a breath of fresh air! This is one of the nicest campgrounds we've seen in awhile. We are fulltimers meandering around the midwest and the campgrounds in Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska (that we hit) left much to be desired. This place is definitely someplace I'd stay for awhile if there was more to see in the area. The help was extremely friendly and helpful, the bathrooms sparkled, the laundry room was spotless and loaded with traveling info, and the camp store-wow-I don't think I've seen such a well stocked, neat and not a speck of dust on anything (NO layers of old dust on the canned items like most camp stores). And the way they park the rigs, all the fifth wheels in one row (with their diesel trucks in front) then behind the back ends of the fifth wheels the next row is all class A motorhomes. WOW I loved the organization. It's clear to see from everything involved that the owners have Rv'ed and they take pride in their establishment. They should be proud I wish there were more of them out there, not just someone who thought they'd make a quick buck off some campers. The only reason I did a "9" instead of a 10 is because the interior roads are gravel and there's no pool (we personally never use the pools anyways) We prefer a Hot tub anyways, which this place has three of. Great Park. We'd most definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground. Grass sites, but were level, we never unhooked. The restrooms were very nice and clean, the laundry was the nicest one we've been in. They had a tv set, a computer, magazines, iron and ironing board, tables and chairs, and travel info in the laundry room. Very nice playground, the only negative was the putt putt golf, and it looked as though they were working on it. Nice sprinkler play area. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Well first of all they charged for wireless, I'm sorry but that is unacceptable. Sites were not paved and very dirty. Other people staying here were very strange. Staff was very nice though. It was the closest place on our highway route. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed there last Labor Day weekend for a family rebellion (reunion). This is as nice as any campground I have stay at here in Kansas. The help is friendly and one of the better campground stores I have be in. Sure beats having to find a grocery store for that bottle of mustard. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very friendly place to camp, owners are very friendly. This campground has a lot of
remodeling going on, with new owners. We have camped there twice this year. We were very impressed with restroom cleanliness and outstanding inside painting
theme. We will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
