Great place to camp. Well maintained with nice views. It's far enough from the highway/City that you don't get people just driving thru.

Beautiful location with nice size sites. Bathroom with showers location is in an odd location on top of hill away from all camp sites.Otherwise a great park.

Just passing through and this was a great place to stop for a few days. It was the end of the season, so I didn’t experience the height of the season which was okay for me… 👍 Manhattan is close and an interesting college town—K-State U

All the campsites have been renovated and leveled better than they used to be. The views from all campsites are gorgeous if you like lake views. If you have any trouble getting around you may want to consider somewhere else. The roads are very hilly and steep in places. Other than that I highly recommend this campground.

Very friendly and clean place. The view of the lake is lovely, and the staff is constantly checking for the security of the guests. Reasonable prices as well. Thank you!

VERY peaceful and quiet. We originally picked site #13 but it was very uneven so we moved to #12 instead it was great. This loop as all new sites/hookups from the flooding that occurred a few years ago. You’ll get a work out up the hills too!

The stay was during Kansas State graduation2022, very quiet and nice place to stay.
Bathrooms and showers had lots of bugs and shower drain could have been cleaned out at least once a week. Overall great
