No directions on where to enter, we found some campsites but not where we needed to be. We left and did not stay. Not good!

The campgrounds and facilities were very clean. The camphost was very nice and personable. Cell service for Verizon if nearly nonexistent. But T mobile worked fine for my husband's phone.

Great campsite, clean and quiet. We were there for deer hunting. having electric and water in the campsite was a great benefit we didn’t expect to have.

Peaceful, well kept and clean. Wish the bridge to the other side were open to pedestrian (only) traffic. Lots of acorns!

The camp hosts are great! Friendly, helpful and do a magnificent job with keeping the bathrooms and campground clean. This is my favorite campground in Kansas.

Beautiful little area with plenty of tree coverage and full hook ups. Just be careful of your navigation trying to bring you down the other side of the river and crossing the bridge to get here. The bridge is closed and has been for some time! But speaking of which, it's a fun little swim hole to wade out in and hang out underneath the bridge. The lake however is kinda gross and I probably wouldn't come back here for it. Absolutely zero bars on visible/Verizon and it's a bit tricky getting starlink set up with the trees. Overall I'd come back to relax here but not much else.
