I was car-camping but needed electric, so reserved one of the RV sites. Arrived at 11 p.m. under a full moon and the place was simply beautiful. I had been in the 90-degree heat all day, so the cold shower under the stars was just perfect. Peaceful, safe sleep in a wonderful setting. Would definitely recommend to others and will reserve again when I come back this way.

If I could give it stars, I’d give it a 10! Very simple, beautiful setting. Amy, the host was very responsive. I’m not sure August is the best time to visit. VERY hot and little shade. But we were in our RV, connected to power, so we could run our a/c, and once the sun went down, it was very pleasant outside.
The shower is described as a cold water shower. It because of the weather, the water was hot for a couple of minutes, and even when it cooled down, it was quite nice, and what a setting!
It would be fun to be there with people around, so we hope to come back during a more popular time to visit. Easy access to Emporia, and located right on the Flint Hills Trail.
