Mowing was just completed- yeah. Only saw one work camper - very nice. Trimming back branches & picking up sticks. Rarely-almost never was there a person for check in. No one ever checked our reservation. Still has ticks & ants!

We stayed in a site by the water and had great weather for our 2 night stay. Enjoyed the walking paths and updated signage on the paved trail with the trees native to the area.

Great as usual, except the grass was higher than I’ve ever seen!! And now, the rates have gone up and there’s no host for most of the day and they are volunteers. Don’t get it! Paying more for less.

Very peaceful, the area we were in (lot-c) had full hookups and each site had a lot of land so your not very close to the next site.

The campgrounds have numerous choices. Restrooms were clean. Camp hosts were very friendly.
Topeka is 45 minutes and Emporia is 30 minutes.
