What Guests Are Saying

Rockhaven Park Campground and Equestrian Area offers clean facilities, hot showers, and well-kept campsites, making it a pleasant destination for campers and equestrians alike. Many appreciate the spacious sites and well-marked trails, although some trails require maintenance and are currently affected by flooding. Concerns have been raised about non-equestrian campers using designated horse sites, which could impact the safety and experience for horseback riders.

The park staff were kind and courteous, the other campers were supremely respectful, and it made for a really special night for one of my daughter’s first camping trips!

Campground is clean and well suited for equestrian camping. Extensive and beautiful trail system. Many volunteer hours go into maintaining those trails and it’s very much appreciated. We need this equestrian park!!!
Such lovely places are becoming few and far between. This place is truly priceless.

We love camping at Rock Haven. The camp sites are nice and they have several options to choose from. There are lots of double sites which is fun when you are camping with family and friends. The sites are very well maintained and have plenty of room. The horse stalls are big, Ours were covered which is much appreciated during the hots months. The only complaint we had with our last trip is that previous campers did not clean out their horse stalls. You can't take the knothead out of some folks. The park has a fun area for kids with a nice covered shelter for grilling and large gatherings. We like riding trails that offer a variety of terrine which these trails have. We appreciate they are well maintained. Thank you to those that keep this park and trails in such good condition. As always, we take out what we take in. We will definitely go back soon.

Horse and mule park the best trails in Kansas. It is mostly in trees with a nice north wind off lake on a hot day it is just right. If really windy the trees slow it down. It would be very hard to get lost here as the trails are very well marked. Going back very soon.
