Nestled in a serene rural setting, our RV park stands out for its welcoming atmosphere and rich history, rooted in a legacy of hospitality. Established in 1986 by my father, Jim, who had an innate passion for connecting with people, the park originally began as a mobile home community. His vision soon transformed half of the property into a dedicated RV parking area, creating a space where travelers could feel at home.
Since my father's passing in 2010, we have preserved the park's unique character while enhancing its features and amenities. Our RV park offers a peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of interstate noise, ensuring a relaxing experience for all our guests. We pride ourselves on being pet-friendly, allowing you to bring your furry companions along for the adventure.
Conveniently located near local restaurants and grocery stores, our park provides easy access to essential services. Additionally, guests can explore nearby natural attractions, including swimming holes and outdoor activities, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Come and experience the charm of our RV park, where every visitor is treated like family.

Daniel was very helpful host. I had a problem with my large cooler and he helped me sort it out. The site was very roomy and I was able to pull my camper around and remained attached without having to back up . I arrived the evening before a huge wind storm that was going to encompass all of my route the next day, so Daniel offered for me to stay another day, which I did. I’m glad that he told me about the wind storm because I would not have known about it and it would’ve not been fun driving in it. Due to the circumstances he offered to let me stay a second night gratis, but that was not necessary, I was grateful for the spot.

A great spot and a great host. Probably the most unique spot we’ve camped with our van. Matthew is great with communications, his tours, and is very accommodating. What he has and is creating here is very impressive.

We needed a safe night in Kansas during a cross country road trip with a dog. Tom’s site was perfect! Never thought Kansas would be so pretty.
Tom met us and guided us to the camp spots where we could park our camper. He had already made a fire for us and we cooked dinner over the fire watching the moonrise. Our dog loved running free in the field and gathering sticks while we sat by the fire. It was quiet (except for turkeys in the field), safe for the dog and everything we needed for a great sleep.
Absolutely recommend!

Gina is a fantastic host with a just as fantastic glamping experience! She made sure we were well taken care of and comfortable. This is definitely for someone who wants to have a more camp-like experience without having to bring your own tent or sleeping arrangements. Gina provided us with more than enough supplies for our stay and was on top of any requests we had. The lake on site was a beautiful addition to the scenery. I would 100% recommend this stay for any outdoors lovers or those who are looking to experience the outdoors.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was much more than we expected. Our host was very accommodating & was kind enough to give us a tour of his planes, which was a special treat for my husband being a pilot. The property is beautiful & quiet. The hosts have and continue to make improvements such as a compost toilet & shower building. There are picnic tables & a beautiful fire ring with firewood provided. We had 2-3 bars of Verizon, which was plenty for us. We only spent 1 night, but this will definitely be on our list to return to, especially with it being so convenient to I-70.

A beautiful, private site with amazing sunset views! The composting toilet and solar shower were nice touches too. Really enjoyed the fire pit by the pond while watching pelicans and nighthawks migrate overhead.

Amazing. Matt was the bomb. So smart, so intelligent, so motivated about his project— his vision and the work he has done is a miricle. The tour is a must. Treat yourself and stay here. After the tour and as campers settled in Matt build a huge fire pit fire. He joined the campers for fabulous conversation and more info about his project.

This was an amazing stay!! The host was very accommodating, and responsive. The tent was beautifully set up with everything you could need. One fire pit at the camp site and one by the pond with ample fire wood piled up. I can’t say enough good things about our stay! We are traveling with 10 dogs and they loved the space to run and the pond to swim in.
