This is a very basic KOA, very efficient, clean, and well maintained. Office was a fun visit and staff was very nice. Access roads are wide and easy. Sites are full-hookup and very long. Didn't unhook tow. The sites are wide with shade trees each has picnic table and fire ring. Received many channels over antenna. Was unable to get on wi-fi.
There is a very nice pool and adjoining picnic shelter, also a kids playground and mini-putt golf. Our dog loved the huge dog run.
The bathrooms are typical KOA but well maintained and very clean. Showers are also clean and comfortable. Obviously it was all cleaned frequently.
This is a very well maintained park, the few permanents are on the perimeter and very tidy. KOA's are always pricey, this one is worth it.

This a very nice park on the less than hospitable Kansas plains. The wind always blows and trees and grass are at a premium, but the owners do their best with what the terrain gives them. The parks roads and sites are all gravel. The sites are long and level; we did not unhook our tow. The utilities are very convenient and hook up is easy.
The bathrooms are clean and very big. The laundry is also big and looked very nice, though we didn't use it.
The owner/manager works in town and returns to open the office around 4:00. She is very nice and pleasant to visit with. This park is truly a labor of love. When you arrive just pick a spot. One of the workkampers will spot you and give you any info you need e.g. bathroom code. You'll have to wait for the office to check in.
There is very pretty landscaping with grass and shrubs decorated in a plains/western theme. Also a lighted and paved walking loop with western decorations that are rather avant-garde. No, no trees yet, this is a work in progress.
We found the road off the highway to the park to be severely washboard.
I hope they have graded it by now.
The highway is near but as the town is well down the road, no jake-brakes.
The railroad crossing is also nearby, but I like trains...no problem.
The park is simple, but it is clean, safe, well lit, and well maintained.

This RV Park is almost a necessity, good thing it is also very nice. Traveling across North Kansas on US 36 RV parks are few. My wife and I Winter in Texas and use this park coming and going. It is a small park concentrating on the best facilities rather than size.
All pads are concrete and long; we don't unhook our tow. The utilities are very convenient and hook up is easy. The bathrooms are big and very clean and comfortable. The laundry is also very big. The park is clean and neat and very well maintained.
You pay for what you use. There is a very inexpensive base price, then add wi-fi and cable if you want. The wi-fi was very good. You register by envelope in a slot. The owner/manager is often not on site as he runs a business down the street. He lives on site and can always be contacted by phone. I have met him and can tell you he is committed to the needs of his customers and the upkeep of the park.
There are attractive grass lawns surrounding a large pond and a walk around path or stop at the gazebo. The entire park overlooks a golf course.
The challenge is finding this park. It is behind a new motel/hotel called the "Settle Inn". The businesses are not related, just neighbors. Watch for the signs to turn to the park. The motel acts as a buffer for road noise and adds to the night lighting in the park which was already very good.
A Dollar General is next door, good place to stock up; we do.

My wife and I have stayed here twice coming and going to West Texas for the Winter. This park is a jewel in a very empty panhandle. The sites are long pull throughs; we didn't unhook our tow. The hookups are easy and convenient.
This is not a tourist park, no entertainment. It is a clean, safe, and well maintained park that is a very comfortable stop. The old Cotton Gin is interesting to walk through and look around. The park is very orderly with the few permanents very neat and tidy. All the pedestal lights actually work so it is well lit at night. I saw the bathrooms cleaned every day and the laundry is the honor system. The highway and railroad are nearby but it is only background noise. Wi-Fi was good. We'll be back.

This is a beautiful RV park and the closest you'll find a "traditional" RV Park to Chicago and the NW Suburbs. There are approx 80 sites with full hook ups. Hook ups are close and very convenient.The sites and roads are gravel, all level and well drained. Expansive green lawns are all around with flowers, shrubbery, and landscaping. There are two spring fed lakes for fishing or small boating, one lake has a sand beach and swim area. Bathrooms are clean. The laundry has modern commercial washers and dryers. Wi-Fi is excellent. Though there is no cable but your antenna will get Chicago and/or Rockford. This is a quiet, and well maintained park, the owner lives on the grounds and takes great pride and interest in this family park.
