I was on site 16, nice and flat, restroom across the road. Beautiful place, surprised me that it was empty. For the last week of the season, there were 3 other trailers on the main shore.

Very nice campground. Restrooms and showers were very clean. Not a lot of lighting so bring a flashlight for walking around. Council Grove is a neat town with a lot of history.
