I was on a cross-country road trip and altered my route significantly with the intention of camping here. I was not disappointed.
This campground is a little tricky to find. From Elkhart you have to take 27 N for several miles, then a right onto FS 700, which has a marker. Then you have to drive about 4 miles on a dirt road, the campground will be on your left.
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Kansas? Probably fields, wide-open sky, and windmills. This place delivers on all of them in a big way - you'll see what I mean. The campsites are very-well marked and each has a fire ring, garbage can, and picnic table. There is a pit toilet and potable water as well. When I stayed the fee was $7 and the whole campground was empty and serene. Bullfrogs croaked in the nearby pond and the only other sounds were from crickets and birds and a few coyotes as the sun set. It was relaxing, scenic, and quiet.
To the right (east) of the campground there is a day-use picnic area with gazebos and BBQ grills.
The campground seems underused, there were a few stray beer bottles which I took to mean people like to just hang out there and drink, but I didn't see anyone else so can't confirm.
This is one of my favorite campgrounds, and I'm hoping for a day when I can return. read more
