Please trim the trees back on the road that goes through the campground at Richey Cove, in particular the ones on the way way that every camper has to use to exit the park. The trees could create an expensive situation with damage to camper roofs, air conditioners, windows, etc. You can barely maneuver through the circle and around the boats, jet skis, etc., parked halfway off the road without some potential damage. The limbs overhang way too far and need to be maintained.
Thanks.

The website says water hookup, but there isn't. Otherwise a GREAT spot!

We stayed at #3 and the ground where we stepped out of our trailer was slanted and pretty rocky. If you have kids, you may want to look for a flatter area. However, it worked out nice because it was directly across from the beach area.

It was raining in the morning so we went to the tall grass prairie and did some shopping on Main Street. What a lovely community. We loved the camp ground. It was great having the beach right there.

We loved the town of Council Grove…good restaurants, museums, etc. Cottonwood Falls and Tallgrass Prairie Preserve were also great places to visit. Richey Cove #35 is a good campsite, close to showers, bathroom and beach. The beach was dirty due to the geese coming and going. Hard to improve that one, but my grandchildren were disappointed that their dad wouldn’t let them play in the lake. The bathrooms could be cleaner. The shower heads are strange in that they spray way out almost to the opposite wall which is quite a ways away. But all in all we had a great time and would camp there again.
