Our RV sites were close to the lake with a beautiful view. The areas were well kept and the facilities were clean. We also met a Ranger who was friendly and helpful. We spent our days riding E bikes, exploring the lake and the Flint Hills Trail. We did relocate to a different site because ours was very difficult to get level….. almost impossible. WE WILL RETURN…. With fishing poles and kayaks!👍

We love the Council Grove Lake Camping Spots. We have never had any problems there.
We will run into town to some of the shops too.
