Nice campground.

Would be helpful to list the slope of sites. We had tongue fully extended to barely achieve level. Attempted to relocate to better site and was told by maintenance person (only staff on site) that it could easily be changed on this recreation.gov site. Not true. We stuck it out and all was okay. We were in Manhattan for K-State graduation; state park CG was sold out as far back as November.

My only complaint. We arrived at Check in time and a Fifth Wheel was on our Reserved Site (9). The owners were no where to be found. We waited at least 40 minutes and they never showed up so we had to Call Reserveamerica.com to change Sites (31).
The Park was clean, Bath House and Restrooms were very clean.
Quiet, Spacious Sites with good Lake Views.
Would stay here again.

Campground was clean and very quiet. Had problems getting to the campground due to road construction but once I was there I enjoyed the weekend.

Very clean & well kept campground. It was very a calm & peaceful stay with very few campers until late in week. Unfortunately we got a new neighbor on Friday that invited friends & dogs over and the partied into the night keeping us awake. In the morning we found out their dogs pooped all over our camp sight. We ended up leaving the next morning as our peace was over. (We did find the grounds worker as we were leaving & they were going to have Park Ranger talk to them).
