This location is one of my favorites. It is always clean and quiet. There is a lot of space between sites so you don’t fill like you’re in each other’s business. I plan to come back over and over.

Great campground, 10/10 recommend. Kaw lake is beautiful and had an awesome view of the sunset. Not over crowded and a nice place to relax after going through the tall grass prairie.

What a beautiful and quiet campground. The sites are spacious, have paved pads with covered picnic tables, fire pit, and a grill. The campground is well maintained with big shade trees and lots of room to roam. We stayed at site #19 which has a view of the lake. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the grass isn’t mowed along the shoreline. It is very tall and overgrown so you can’t access the water. We will definitely be back!

Policies & Rules

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. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
