Underrated campground, nice shade on most sites, can swim right there and has gorgeous sunrise over the lake. Some non electric spots are 10/10 right overlooking the water. Maybe some of the nicest campsites in Kansas. Fun playground for kids in the center. Tons of flood debris still along the shore is expected right now.

The campground was very nice. The husband and wife that were our host were super friendly and hard workers. I saw them cleaning the restrooms at least 3 times in the 5 days we were there. We had a wonderful time. We will definitely return.

Best kept secret in Kansas. We spent most of the summer there. Very clean and all the camp host became our lake family.
