Nice campsite for our overnite RV stop. Had a pool (closed when we were there in October) and a playground. Pretty little lake (saw paddle boats too). Shower house was nice and clean even though older. Whole area seemed very well kept and very pretty. Lots of trees. Train ran at night several times blowing it horn, which was loud, but nostalgic. Barbara, the owner, could not have been any nicer.

Nice little Kampground. Close to interstate, easy access. Not many other campers here, maybe it's the end of the season. Pool and playground, pond for catch and release fishing that is free to those who camp here. Nice walking trails around the pond. Tenting sites available as well. I rated a 4 for service because we do not live in areas that have tornadoes, office staff did not show or exp... Nice little Kampground. Close to interstate, easy access. Not many other campers here, maybe it's the end of the season. Pool and playground, pond for catch and release fishing that is free to those who camp here. Nice walking trails around the pond. Tenting sites available as well. I rated a 4 for service because we do not live in areas that have tornadoes, office staff did not show or explain the storm situation well. Can I take my dogs? You can bet I will if the need arises.

I stayed here one night on a cross country road trip with my dog and we had a great experience! Barb was so very friendly and accomodating. Also, they deliver your firewood, which was a wonderful convenience after a long drive! The bathrooms were very clean and water pressure was great! This campground was beautifully maintained all around and provided a nostalgic charm that brought me back to family camping trips as a child. I will certainly stay here again in the future!

This is such a great campground located right off interstate 70. We stopped for the night headed to Missouri. The folks that own this place are wonderful. They have full hook ups and the sites are plenty big. The restrooms and showers were spotless. Once again the folk's that own this are great folks. We will be staying here again when traveling through.
