What Guests Are Saying

Rockhaven Park Campground and Equestrian Area offers well-marked trails, clean amenities, and a pleasant camping experience, especially for horse enthusiasts. The campground is noted for its cleanliness, shaded campsites, and accommodating hosts, making it a favorite among visitors. However, some areas, particularly trails, need maintenance, and the lack of water hookups and occasional non-equestrian campers in designated spots were mentioned as concerns.

I'm not in the horsey-set but appreciated the setting and proximity to the trails. The volunteer caretakers were helpful, and pointed me towards firewood that they themselves provided (very nice touch). I tend towards more isolated camping experiences but the combination of location near my home in Lawrence and the campground's proximity to the trails was very workable for me. The showers and bathrooms were clean and central. Bring a key if you want to access the water spigots located around the grounds. Nice place.

The park was nice. We stayed at one of the campsites (#7) designated for those without horses. The condition of the site was fair; it is not particularly large and there is no dedicated tent pad, but the ground was relatively flat and level. The picnic table was in rough shape, as was the fire ring, but both were functional. The bathrooms were standard, with running water. The playground in the middle of the area was nice.
The easy access to the trails along the south shore of the Lake was fantastic. The trails themselves are great; they're rocky, but fun and offer a lot of variety; with easy access to the lake shore.
The campground was not quiet; there were a couple of groups that were a bit rowdy into the overnight hours and one group had a dog that barked for long periods several times through the night. As far as I could tell, there was not a campsite 'host' that stayed on site to reign in such activity.
For $12/night, overall, it was a fair experience, though if returning to that area, we'd probably scout out a different campground.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
