It's a perfect place to pull off and camp for the night. I was in a 26ft u haul with a 14 for trailer and was able to easily pull in and out. If we were coming back through we would stay again.
Nice big field with many campsite opportunities. Ely was quick to respond when I let him know I arrived and when I was leaving. I heard several roosters, I think a horse as well in an adjacent field. Jupiter and Venus were in the sky and made the plane of the ecliptic very easy to visualize. I'll gladly camp at Scattercreek again if I'm in the area!
Rural, easy to find.
Drive on back and find your spot. Plenty of space to stretch out.
Great place.
Thank you Ely

Very easy to find. I drove back into the property a ways, picked my spot, and as planned, settled in for a very quiet, peaceful evening.
Ely stopped by the next morning while he was taking care of some business. We chatted for a bit. Very friendly. Seems like a good dude. Told him I’m likely to return.

Quiet, peaceful location in the country, about 25 minutes from Lawrence. We camped on the road between a tree line. Heard coyotes and owls at night.

I love the lack of other people when camping. The light pollution was minimal so star gazing was very good. I was a little confused about where to camp but that’s on us due to our late arrival. If I’m in the area again we will definitely go here.

Arrived late after dark but the Ely said that was alright and left the gate open for us. We left before sunrise to get back on the road but slept fine in our tent next to the barn. Lots of wildlife surrounding us and very rural!

The site was great and easy to access and the firewood was nice.
I really enjoyed my stay on Ely’s land. It’s very peaceful and secluded while also being easy to locate. There’s plenty of wildlife to enjoy, especially birds. My Britney loved it. 10/10 would recommend.

We were traveling and would be getting into the camp late. Before booking, I sent a message to the host asking if a late arrival would be ok. They said it was fine and I booked the site. Once we arrived, the entrance gate was chained and locked. Based on other reviews the site and host seem great but unfortunately, we paid and did not get to stay.
I had a great solo tent camp at Scattercreek. If you like the tall grasses and flowers of Kansas, this is it. Exactly the experience I was hoping for.
It may be rugged for some but backing my car up to a fire isn't what I call camping. I parked at the entrance of the property and hiked in almost half a mile to the camp site. There is a vehicle path, but not suitable for my car. Ely, the host requested parking at the entrance as well.
The camp site is secluded in a clearing wrapped by trees and undergrowth. Walking up to it there is a yellow (quite faded) Hipcamp sign pointing into the clearing. I set my camping hammock up between two substantial trees, just behind the fire circle and next to a very large stack of seasoned firewood.
The property has several large grassy fields, surrounded by trees. The vehicle path winds from front to the back (at least as far back as I went). There are a few swales around the site where I saw deer prints in dried mud. There hadn't been much rain lately.
I did scare away one deer as I entered the site. Though I heard other rustling in the trees that evening this was the only one I saw. I heard the call of at least two Barred Owls and picked out the song of a very insistent Northern Bobwhite along with a mix of Robins, Crows, Woodpeckers, and Blue Jays.
For my August visit there was some tall grass to walk through. I would suggest long pants and hiking boots. I'm sure this is seasonal, and the host may cut it back at times.
I'll go back.

Wouldn’t choose another place to camp ! Just wanted something simple to camp for my first time & scattercreek did not disappoint. You could hear all the animals from the area, Easy access with a lot of burning wood around. Will definitely be back for more camping!

Fantastic little piece of property. Description was spot on. Owner Ely was very helpful and easy to stay in touch with. He even had firewood waiting for me when I got there!
