The people in this campground were very friendly. They have an ice cream social every night. The sites are a little close together and if you need a sewer hookup no matter which type of site you book you need to specify that you need sewer or they will put you in a spot that doesn't have sewer. We had to be moved after we realized we had no sewer. This is a clean maintained campground and even though it was next to the Interstate the road noise was minimal. We would stay here again for an over night stay if needed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Interstate 70 across Kansas seems like a wasteland and then we found the oasis that we were looking for, the Wakeeny, KS KOA. We had planned to stay at a different location on our westward trip, but we went farther than expected. We called ahead and checked to see if they had sites available. The extremely friendly staff said, “Come on!” and we did. When we got arrived, during business hours, we found the office was closed, but a note was on the door explaining they would return soon. All of our paperwork was located outside with instructions telling us which site to go to. Only later did we find out the reason why the office was closed, the staff had taken one of the campers to a local doctor after they became ill! How about that for service? Definitely worth the stop when you are traveling through Kansas. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
FINALLY a KOA that has all it's stuff together. On this 3 month trip we have been at WAR with corporate KOA and there WIFI service, this is the FIRST KOA of 8 (that we stayed) were we have connected to WIFI. Corporate says it's the local campground problem, but corporate still has their name hanging out on the shingle, they refuse to assume any responsibility, THEY SHOULD. What happened here was that WaKeeney had their head turned on straight (instead of the restof the campgrounds that were sitting on their upturned thumb), instead of saying, just 'click' on it, THEY provided written instructions and in those instructions you will find 'another' step that actually does take you to connectivity. All those other KOA idiots should contact WaKeeney and acquire a copy of their instructions, even they might be "enlightened". At any rate, this is also the VERY FIRST KOA we have ever been too that DID NOT have a 90% of the sites taken up by 'permanents', THERE WERE ZERO of them!!!! Made for a VERY, VERY comfortable stay. This place is clean, sites are level, access roads are great. There is no shade, but there is no shade in Kansas anywhere!!!! WILL stay here again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was way above your normal KOA. The price was good, the staff was excellent and the wifi worked like a charm. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had stopped here before, and wondered if it would be as good the second time around, and were pleased that it was. The only complaint could be that, as late in the season as we were, the pancake breakfast wasn't available. A small price to pay for the convenience and the warm greeting, welcoming us back. We will always plan our trips to include a stopover here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground that has all the amenities that you would expect at a KOA. The owners are very friendly and make us feel at home during a wet & cold couple of days. It's just off the freeway, but the traffic noise is minimal. We marked this campground on our GPS and will camp here again on our way across Kansas on 70. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent KOA for an overnite stop. Very clean and very helpful staff. They escort you to your site. Sites large enough to accomadate any size rig. Will definitely stay again when going thru the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This KOA was fine for stopping overnight. The only comment we had was that the showers were cooled by fans and no A/C. Staff was friendly and efficient. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice laid out park. Close to I-70 so you do get some road noise. Ice Cream from 7:30 - 8:00 and then a very reasonable pancake breakfast in the morning. The staff was friendly and the sites all appeared to be very level. The rate was with a KOA card. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice KOA. Sites were good sized and the kids enjoyed the pool. Staff was very friendly. Provided a free snack for canine guests. Had an ice cream social at night and a pancake breakfast in the morning. Sites were level and had a picnic table. Road noise was not bad. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed at this KOA for two days. Well kept park, friendly mangers. Large pull through gravel sites which are very level. Wide roads. This is a very busy KOA due to its location at the junction of I 70 and 283, midway between Denver and Kansas City. It is very quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There's nothing "special" about this campground other than it's convenient location to the highway, and the owners. We have stayed here on 4 or 5 occasions while traveling, and will continue to do so. Wakeeney is not a destination sight for many people, but that shouldn't be a detraction to this campground. It is one of the best overnight "destinations" we have found, and will keep planning our trips to include a stip here to unwind. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Convenient, easy in and easy out campground. Great place to stop for the night, but nothing special. I would have liked to have felt a little more secure, however. I would probably stop there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Typical KOA in the middle of nowhere with the major redeeming quality of being convenient to the interstate and a big truck stop. Most everybody here is an overnighter and for this, the place is excellent. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Awesome overnight campground; we made it a point to return here on our return trip. Sites are spaced out well, full-hookup pull through sites and cable tv; clean pool and spa. The all-you-can eat pancake breakfasts each morning were delicious and served in a friendly atmosphere. Great staff. If we're in the area again and need to stop, we'll definitely be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
