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.

We enjoyed our first time here. Water access for our water bubble. Nearly every site has lakefront view or at least close access. The covered picnic tables are great quality.
We loved the view, and no vehicle fees was a super plus! We think we found our new spot!
We will definitely be back though.
