Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating This campground may just be the best of our six-week trip!! Fifty-year old cottonwood trees line the sites of this well-planned park. Sites are level and each offers shade and a view of the beautiful rows of trees! We awoke this morning to a mist that made the park seem lost in time. Owners are super-friendly and make the park welcoming and comfortable, every detail is perfect... right down to the potted flowers at every site. A little on-site store has just what you need and we tanked up with propane before we hit the road. Just off the interstate, convenient restaurants, and diesel next door #willbeback #comebeforeOct1

Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Stayed one night on our way west. Check-in was a breeze, receptionist was very polite and very helpful. We were escorted to our site. The park is small, but very well kept. It is only open from April through October. It is very peaceful. The site was level with electric, water, and sewer hookups. The Wi-Fi is excellent! I would definitely stay here again.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Overnight stop. Owners very friendly and helpful. Advised that there was a severe weather advisory for the area and made sure we knew where storm shelter was located. Mainly pull-thru sites, full hookup. Roads (gravel and dirt) in somewhat poor condition due to recent heavy rains, but obvious efforts had been made to improve them. Restrooms clean and well-stocked. Grocery sore a few blocks away. Easy on and off interstate. Would return.

Owners were very friendly and helpful. They even had a wine tasting of local wines. Next to a truck gas station and Dairy Queen. Best of all, since our hot water heater was not working, the showers we're great. Clean, hot, and a lot of water pressure.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating This is a good place to stay if you need a convenient location to stay for other purposes, not for a camping trip. The sites are long gravel with relatively level grounds. The grass is mown and trees are trimmed so that branches do not damage RV tops. The really is nothing remarkable or unremarkable about the park. We had mosquitoes the week we were there, so being outside was not an option. I would stay there again when visiting in the area.

Appeal Rating We just stayed overnight as we were enroute KS to MN. Location is convenient to highway yet not noisy. Within a stones throw of a Dairy Queen sit down restaurant. We were also surprised in the morning to find it is across the road from a truck stop we hadn't noticed upon our arrival. We didn't hear any truck noises through the night.
Park is small but well maintained. It appeared most of the lots were pull through. Standard hookups in good condition. Office/Gift Shop is open until 9 p.m., attended and well stocked with both necessities and fun stuff. Quick check in and prompt escort to site followed by an offer of help if we need it.
Next time we make the trek from KS to MN we will plan a stop here again.
Oh, and something we have never seen before. Upon check in the handy note with wifi password and short list of "rules" included the name of the county we were in. So many times weather alerts are broadcast with only references to counties and those of us traveling have to scramble for the atlas to see if we are in danger. These folks thought about that ahead of time and supplied the info needed.
We camped in a 36 ft diesel pusher class A with two slides towing the family car.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating The owners were very friendly and helpful. After escorting us to our site, he offered any help we might need during our stay, e.g., tools, advice, etc. We originally had a large pull through site with very little shade and they let us move one site over to take advantage of the shade during the 90+ degree afternoons. The site was large enough to accommodate our 40' toy hauler, our truck, and unload the motorcycles and leave them parked in the site. We were within easy walking distance to a convenience store and Dairy Queen. Their store was well stocked with RV supplies, some food, and souvenirs. The best part was the showers. Although we have a shower in the camper, we enjoy a shower without worrying about running out of hot water occasionally. Both men's and women's showers were clean with plenty of water pressure. We highly recommend this park and will stay there again if in the area.

Most sites are heavily shaded with mature cotton wood trees, well maintained with ample room provided for extra vehicular activities, restroom/shower facilities were spotless and we found the owners to be extremely friendly and helpful. Nice 9 hole golf course as well as a casino are near by if that is of interest. You can't go wrong stopping here if your in the neighborhood.

This is not a destination campground with a bunch of kids running around. It's a pull off the interstate, park under some trees, get a peaceful night of sleep campground. I will gladly stop here again when passing through.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating We arrived here a day earlier than planned and the owners were very accommodating. We mentioned that we had friends that would be visiting us and they put us in a large pull through site so our friends would have a parking spot. The best part of the site is that we are away from most other sites and our puppy has room to roam on her 20 foot leash. On this our first trip with our new tiny home on wheels and new towing vehicle On-Ur-Way RV Park has been the best.

The young owners are wonderful, courteous and helpful. They went out of their way to help all the overnight people in and out at all hours. They have propane there and the pull thru sites are large and level. The restrooms were spotless and the small office store is cute. It is an overnight park but very worth the stay. Will stop here again.
