Park recently purchased by Legacy RV Resorts. Needs lots of work. Sites dirty and lots of dirt instead of grass. Their "deluxe sites" not worth the cost. Very difficult to level and big drop offs. Trees not trimmed and entire area un-kept. Has great possibilities but will take time and money. Ass't Manager very nice at helping solve some of my complaints. Will check it out in about a year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed this park. We stayed an additional 3 nights. It is pet friendly. The roads are good, and the staff friendly. We will visit there again. (The pizza was very good too). We camped here in a Motorhome.
We used this campground as a base for Kansas City. It was easy in and easy out of the city and not that far to travel for everything you wanted to see there. We did go to Independence, MO and enjoyed President Truman's Library. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just stayed one night, but we really enjoyed it. Lovely park, nice long pull through with 50 amp. Great place to walk around. The airport traffic overhead can be noisy during the day, but stops at night. Will return for a longer stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Just an overnight. A very nice park, very pretty, and well maintained. For us, 30 amp, TT, pull through next to one of three fishing ponds. Site was a almost too short but we made it fit. A bit of a hilly setting but nothing any good rig can't handle. Very good store, fully stocked. Friendly folks. Pizza delivered to your site! Will go back if we want to spend more time in the Kansas City area. GSC 10% discount. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
On the whole a pretty nice place, the long term people are in one spot and the in and out in another area. My only gripe: They sell pizza; it is very good; they deliver to the site which is very nice, but I felt uncomfortable giving the Work Kamper three bucks for delivering a nine dollar pizza. I did not want to insult a nice person. I will stay here again and I am not certain about the nightly rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground about 5 miles from I-29. Fishing, pool, camp store, etc. Can get a bit loud when jets from KCI are routed overhead, otherwise it's pretty peaceful. Poor cell phone signal. Weekly and monthly rates available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
They advertise as a resort but it is mostly monthly guests. It is a nice place to go with kids for a weekend because they have a nice pool and nice area for kids. But we didn't have kids with us. We were parked way in the back past the monthly guests and the site left a lot to be desired. Overnight ok but otherwise I'd pass on this place. The work campers were not friendly and hardly acknowledged you while checking in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The staff here are mostly full time RV people. Helpful and friendly. They escort to site and assist parking. Store has good variety of supplies including alcohol and trailer needs. The sites are very narrow and small. Crammed in so that you and your neighbor fight over parking space for the vehicle. Very busy park and I believe over priced. I will stay here again because of the convenience and the washrooms. Supervision of pets and making owners poop and scoop is lax. Pool on weekend was full of kids as it should be but also full of weekender campers drinking out of bottles and very inebriated. Observed camp workers look in and do nothing. They need to tighten up on some issues. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The cabins were great! But where they parked our friends was extremely tight. The pool was closed but no one told us before we got there. They are converting it to a water park, so I am sure it will be nice. They have a lot to do for families, but seemed a little pricey for a campground. Not sure we would pull our trailer here to camp, but would stay in the cabin again. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
I liked all the amenities of this campground. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a campground cabin and friends stayed in their RV. The sites are too close together and there are a lot of rules that don't appear to be enforced. Lots of campers that appear to live there. We went through the Trail of Terror which was a lot of fun, however, for the price to camp, it should have been free. We would rent a campground cabin again, but would not tow our trailer here to camp. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
Stayed there a few times. Currently hooking up cable tv...our site had it. They closed pool on friday for cleaning and didn't notify anyone with signs. Would be nice if they did this during the week when it is slow but overall nice. Lots of airplanes with KCI just south. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful park with easy access from interstate. Also easy to enter park/sites with a big rig. Parking/distance/privacy from neighboring campers was just perfect. The only problem I had was it became a major ordeal to use the internet (room was either locked or computer down). Nice, clean swimming pool and great walking paths; friendly customer service! We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There are lots of trees to view, although many of the trees on the site are too small for much shade. It is truly a beautiful park with several terraced site locations. Some grass at sites. Quite a ways off the road but worth the trip. Staff were friendly and the store on location was well stocked with food, equipment but way too many boutique things. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy for big rig. Roads are gravel in pull thru area. Sites could be more level. Common areas looked very nice but we did not use. Great playgroud for kids. Airport noise during daytime only. Very nice people and will use this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a really nice campground. There are several different areas so you feel like you're in a smaller campground. There is a great pool and playground. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The only downside is the noise from the airport. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
WOW! This is a great family resort! Kids loved the new maze/playground structure, and all the organized activities over Labor Day weekend. Sites were a bit cramped on the lower level by the ponds, but everyone around us was very friendly and considerate. The managers went out of their way to be helpful, even to the kids. Restrooms were immaculate...cleaner than mine at home! My husband liked browsing at the well-stocked store. Kids pulled lots of fish from the pond, and enjoyed the pool. This was one of the nicest campgrounds we have ever stayed at, and we will definitely be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was my second and third time staying at this resort (going and coming back). My friend had never been here, but she was mighty impressed. I was in a 22 ft MH, my friend in a 30 ft fifth wheel. We had four children between us (ages 15 mos to 14 years), and it was just us girls. I loved it my first trip, and we collectively loved it this time as well. Friendly staff, immaculately clean baths, well stocked store, lovely pool and AWESOME play structure (all four kids couldn't get enough.) On our return trip the kids couldn't wait until we got back. We took advantage of the delivered pizza that is made right in the park (very good and and two large at $15 fed all of us), and the pancake breakfast saturday morning. Staff couldn't have been more nice, fun and helpful. This could be a vacation destination all in itself. Will definitely come back. We were told by a staff member that the park was bought by a new owner last year and there are a lot of changes going on even now. I believe anyone that stopped there prior to 2005 may have experienced a different sort of campground. I highly recommend! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Regular campsites are cramped, premium sites are somewhat larger. Wireless internet was spotty. Staff was very friendly but somewhat untrained. Spotless shower house and laundry room. The pool is nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Have stayed here (4) times since 2002; last time Sept. 2004. Stayed twice facing small
lakes, once behind the rec hall (Nov. '03 stay & these sites are sheltered from the wind), the last time on a beautiful back-in terraced site as we stayed a week. Park hosts are helpful and pleasant to their guests. A good "kick back" park & convenient enough to shops, grocery stores, vet, gas stations, restaurants, etc. This is our base while in the Kansas City area. Last stay here was 2004 in a Motor Home. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here with a large motorhome. Very nice park and friendly staff. Everything was
very clean and the grandkids loved the pool. The country store was very convenient and prices were better than I would have expected. Will be staying
again in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I was extremely disappointed with Basswood RV Park. The pictures on their website do not match!! We have a 4 year old son, the pictures on their website of the playground looked very nice. We got there and the playground equipment didn't even look like it had been used in years. They definitely borrowed pictures of a different playground, because it doesn't match their website pictures. Many fulltimers living on the top hill. Not much to do there but fish. However, the way the lake and ground is laid out, it looked like you barely had room to sit down before falling into the lake. They did have a nice store located on the campground, but they need to improve the looks of the RV park and playground. If you have kids, I would not recommend this campground. We camped here in a camper.

A nice campground, the best in the KC area, but the big rig sites are WAY out back and up a hill and are mostly back-ins. The small sites near the office have phone service, but an average size motorhome won't fit there. Too many permanent residents. We camped here in a camper.
