Definitely a cute and safe spot to rest at. They were under construction when we checked in but the staff was extremely friendly and helpful for a mom traveling with 4 kiddos. Breakfast was a Hit in the morning went back for seconds and thirds. Check out was simple kids were able to eat bath and load up before hitting the road back to MO.
So I took the chance to go see this amazing spot in the long boring drive through Kansas. Roads were dirt but pretty well kept until you hit the last mile to the actual rocks. The van made it down just had to go slow and navigate carefully through. It was a pretty peaceful spot and the kids ran out their energy and ate their packed lunches. The wind was pretty chilly but the point was to give them a break from our 12 hour trip back home. The nice thing was it circled out a different road that was nicer up until the last hill that was severally washed away and we almost got stuck. So be careful and make sure you drive slowly if you get down to the last mile till the castle rocks. Def picture worthy but just a one time stop for us. It was a hour round trip added to our drive. Make sure you have gas and potty breaks before going off the beaten path of the hwy bc once you commit there is nothing for at least 20-30 miles. (We barley made it to the neighboring town for a emergency potty break lol)
