The Park Manager Mitch Schwartz needs some retraining on Customer Service and potentially park…read moremanagement. We got a pretty good scoop from a local explaining ( legitimized my complaint) the ill tempered Mitch and his Partner when discussing things like Park cleanliness, broken glass in the so called beaches- all which haven't been maintained for at least 3 to 5 years depending on who you talk to. Mitch the officer/ of sorts, had the typical can't handle truth from a customer attitude. I complained that they describe beaches and fishing within walking distance- while true, the beaches are littered and over grown with trash, diapers ( literally watch a staff on a cart look at the trash on the beach and keep going leaving behind the obvious diaper/ glass bottles and large liter bottle of coca cola right where my family was sitting at the tables). I described the beach conditions with broken glass, shown in my previous reviews online, and how nasty the beaches ( all 3) really were. Then, When I talk to locals, they describe the two officers as" hot heads that dont care". Apparently True- I was shrugged off and told the conditions were a " matter of opinion. Rather unprofessional to say the least. I have yet to hear from and of the council members ( I emailed all) and haven't seen a response. I ALSO contacted the New Director- no response. Apparently tax payers may not have a voice, but while the beaches look like crap and are unsafe for children, bare feat and all, the 40 empty pavilions aren't enough...they can put up new pavilions for the cabins but can't spend a grand or 2 to clean up their beaches. Terrible business planning and management. Terrible experience except for the camp hosts- and completely unprofessional. I may return but unlikely soon- that place looks run down. Ol Mitch said it himself, he " doesn't swim in that lake" No kidding. I bet his girls wpuld be caught on them beaches.

On Thursday we were 1 of about 5 campers in the entire Heimerman Point Campground. By Friday, it was about half full and quite busy- this definitely seems like a campground enjoyed by many on the weekends. I did not visit the onsite bathrooms to comment on them, but the campsites were very clean, the firepits well taken care of, and I love how there are labels on the campsites with your name showing your reservation. The parking fee payments are very easy to complete. The dump station is a bit archaic compared to other campsites we have been to, but it worked for the what we needed- to dump. We did see park rangers driving around but did not interact with employees in person, only by phone when we made the reservation.

I hook it to the back of my spider pull it over and dump the tanks and from the tanks to the dump station as many times as I need but the rates for full-time are really really reasonable and it's quiet and peaceful. It has a small lake which is nice. Some spots have fire rings. They sell Propane on site at a reasonable cost. I have not been here through the winter yet so we will see how all that works out. I would definitely recommend if you are full timer that you can invest in an extended stay kit and some additional bottles so you don't have to move your motorhome or camp trailer down to the bulk tank to get propane the bathroom and shower facilities are well maintained if you choose to go that route When I first moved in, they did not have what I considered to be the perfect space for me but once it became available, the staff was very accommodating and helped me get set up a big shout out to James the maintenance guy. thank you so much for all your help and thank you to the young lady that I talked to on the phone about any issues and I'm sorry I cannot remember her name.

Beautiful park! We started our hike at Buffalo Track Canton Nature Trailhead, which is located a…read moreshort drive into Kanopolis Lake State Park. This trailhead has two entrance points, and one is usually more manicured than the other. We didn't know there was a difference at the time and took the path less traveled and less tended to. Which was unfortunate for us because we were walking through tall grasses and brush, which was uncomfortable because some of the people I was hiking with were wearing shorts. So, if you want a more pleasant hike, make sure you're taking the hiking trail that has been mowed. Other than slapping away plants and hoping we weren't transporting ticks, the hike was great and the scenery here is beautiful. Our trail was a little less than a mile one way, and led us to a really cool cave with rocks that looked like the profile of a person! We checked out the cave for a while, then headed back. Once you're at the cave, you do have an option to travel down another trail to go farther into the park, but we chose to just head back. There's a lake here and other things, but we only visited the park to hike. We had a great time hiking, though! This part of Kansas is beautiful, and walking through Kanopolis is a great way to experience some of it.

Jim and Lori, the owners, are so friendly and hospitable. They keep a clean ranch! The showers are the nicest and cleanest of anyplace we've ever stayed and include the the little things that make camp showering easier for someone with mobility impairment: shelf for shampoo, grab bars, good wide bench, etc. Clean laundry room. Storm shelter available. Very quiet except for a little bit of traffic sound from the highway. It's unfortunate about the negative review below. But I can say that the concrete driveway is brand new and they do like keeping their place clean. I don't think I'd want big hunks of mud being left on the driveway either! If you plan to have regularly muddy tires, then the Love's RV stop with all the noise of the Jake-brakes is probably a better choice for everyone involved. I look forward to staying the next time I'm in the area, and as always, I'm glad to support small, local businesses.

But you get to see some interesting rocks. Some of these rocks really do look like mushrooms. We explored the park for a bit, but we were done after about 15 minutes. There's a short, easy trail on one side of the parking lot that takes you down to some sick rocks (that people have carved into and written things on, which I think looks cool but you might not). On the other side of the parking lot is a little area with more mushroom rocks; some of these are short enough to climb on, so kids might like these. There's a restroom here, but it's basically a port-a-potty hole in the ground, so if you can hold it, I'd suggest doing so.
