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.

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 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.
