Nice campground. Facilities clean. Some Ranger presence. Be careful when selecting site--some do not have water, others do not have electrics. Non-government comment--would have liked the ability to rent small craft and/or take tour of lake. Maybe next time.

It was peaceful. Perfect time to camp at Richy after Labor Day. Not too busy at all.

Restrooms were clean with hot water showers. The parking space was spotless, including a clean grill. The grass was neatly mowed. Trees were trimmed. Garbage cans were emptied and orderly. What more could I ask for? I had a perfect stay.
No one mans the gate so campers come in on the honor system. That could only work in Kansas.

It was a nice campsite except for no shelter for shade (and was too windy for a canopy)

The campground is very well kept. Our site 34 was on the water and a very long paved parking area. I would definitely camp here again.
