My wife and I stayed on the west side for 10 days and really enjoyed it. The shower house was clean and it is a family friendly place to stay.
I do think the poison ivy and poison oak could controlled better because they are prolific at camp grounds.

Positives: OCHA loop has very large campsites that are shade covered, very quiet and spread out from your neighbors. Most sites have a permanent shelter over the picnic table, which was a game changer on a rainy weekend. The camping surfaces were generously sized and pretty level, with well maintained gravel. There are places to kayak and fish nearby. The area is very pretty and good for bird watching. There are easy hiking trails near by in the Flint Hills Wildlife Refuge.
Some things to be prepared for: Some water hookups are too far away for a single fresh water hose. We had to use two. Some bathrooms are pits, but they were clean and didn't smell. There is a bathroom with flush toilets and showers in a different area of the campground that you can walk or drive to. This campground has spaces that can easily accommodate very large RVs and campers, but there are some routes to and from the campsites with tight corners that are very difficult to maneuver large units through, including getting to the dump station. With a little recon, we were able to take a slightly longer, but much easier route through the campground to avoid those tight spaces.

BEAUTIFUL PARK! Riverside west is heavily wooded but plenty of room for even big rigs. Facilities were nice and clean. Plenty of fishing opportunities as well. Good place for early spring or fall camping. I don’t imagine much air moves during hot weather due to the protection it provides.
