Rates are subject to increase once the campground build-out is complete and full amenities (30/50 amp power, water, sewer, privacy fencing, and expanded features) are available. “Kansas City hosting the FIFA World Cup, Tailgate Trails Campground is the closest place to stay by the action” We’re in the process of building out the campground, but you don’t have to wait to reserve your spot. If you’re ready to get set up, we’re already accepting early guests who want a place to park and stay before the project is fully finished. At launch, you can expect: • Spacious RV parking with plenty of room for tailgating • A new privacy fence for added comfort and security • A community fire area for making s’mores and relaxing with friends • A couple of outdoor grills available for guest use And coming soon (by November 1st): • Full hookups with 30 & 50 amp power, water, and sewer • Expanded amenities as we continue to grow Be among the first to experience Tailgate Trails Campground — the closest RV campground to the stadiums and the perfect spot for Chiefs Kingdom and Royals fans alike!
