Inspired by the surrounding landscape, Edge Of The Road Camping Ground was designed to make your visit a unique, comfortable and fun experience. Here you can take full advantage of numerous beautiful views that are guaranteed to make your stay with us a memorable one. The property is 15 acres with a 2-acre pond. We have (large but gentle) guardian dogs, and a flock of chickens, ducks, and guinea fowl. Fall weather camping is the best! The campsites are secluded from the main house so you are able to enjoy the sounds of nature. There are no structures in place. Located in rural Kansas, 12 miles south of Topeka along the path of the Santa Fe Trail. This camping spot will make you feel like you're one with nature and is within driving distance to quality shopping and entertainment. Pop up your tent or park right next to the private pond. Sites are hidden from the road and secluded. However, we do live on the edge of the railway so the train will make an appearance during your stay. Whether it's a spot to crash before and after a day of skiing, taking a road trip, or simply shaking off cabin fever, this is the spot for you. The pond has a dock to sit on as you watch the sunrise. Bring your fishing gear and cast a line into our well-stocked pond. A table, fire rings, wood, and a smoker grill for cooking are provided for your use. Enjoy a day of fishing or strolling the property and finish off a relaxing day by watching the sunset by the fire. Camping is primitive with no shower facilities. A generator is available upon request. We can't wait to see you! Enjoy your stay!!

Wonderful hosts and site!
Tracy and Randy were excellent hosts, greeting us personally with a welcome bag of goodies and a fire ring already set up for a campfire despite the fact that we arrived rather late in the evening. The grounds and toilet facilities were very well kept and clean. We also enjoyed the open space and the lovely, small pond and lighted dock.

A little slice of heaven
Initially getting to the campsite was a different experience for us. After driving past Tracy and Randy’s home and barn, we ended up at our very private campsite. It truly felt we were in the middle of nowhere, and set up camp right next to their spring fed pond. Fishing was fantastic, and they had two kayaks for us to use. The bathroom was very clean, and we had access to well water to replenish as needed. They kindly provided us with farm fresh eggs, and a s’mores kit. The property is big enough to take a decent walk and explore. With town just a few minutes away, it was easy to grab any needed items. Great place to stay!

They were in constant contact with me two weeks before my trip. I got in an hour before dark. Tracy immediately came out and showed me everything came back to the site. Randy brought me a goodie bag and some fresh farm eggs. Great host very friendly. Would highly recommend anybody traveling through this area. If I come back this way again I will stay here 110%. very peaceful and quiet. Very close to the little store in in town. Carbondale is a very friendly town.

5 stars ;)
This site what’s exactly what I needed! Nothing fancy, but peaceful, safe and clean. They were out to meet me when I pulled in and even gave me a goody bag with s’mores supplies and fire starter. Would definitely recommend, especially for solo female travelers.

Family overnight!
Amazing host, easy directions, and a personal slice of heaven. We stayed one night with our 4 year old daughter and this place was AMAZING. Peaceful. So many different spots to set up camp. Fun trails to walk and enjoy nature. The pond was stocked with fish was that our kiddo was able to catch, 4! A big field we were able to play ball in. Easy accessible fire pit. Lots of provided wood. It did rain a bit and our hosts checked in on us to make sure we were still enjoying our time. 100/10 recommend!

Above and beyond
My friends and I got to the property after 11pm and didn’t expect any of the listed amenities from the host (meeting upon arrival). Mr. Randy was surprisingly still up to greet us and was kind enough to bring us firewood at almost midnight. The farm was also very quiet and a great place to camp!
