We would highly recommend Honey Grove. It's very clean, quiet, and convenient, whether you're visiting locally or staying for awhile. The bathrooms and showers are pristine.

My dogs and I had a great time staying at Wits end! We weren't there long, justba quick overnight. Jennifer was quick to reply and helpful. The only problem is, after leaving I started noticing tons of tiny ticks crawling on me and had to stop and spend about an hour trying to get rid of them all. I had read another review that mentioned them so I had even sprayed some natural repellent but they apparently are quite bad around there. Just be prepared. The peace and quiet, along with sunrise were fantastic!

The staff were very welcoming, escorted us to the site. The camp site had everything we needed. We caught some panfish in the pond. We had a great stay.

Weekend Trip to Honey Grove Campground
The #2 Bunkhouse was the answer for me and my dogs, as we were there for 3 days of 95 degree plus temperatures . The AC and afternoon shade were much appreciated as well as the nearby showers.

This place was perfect for me to relax and my dog to run around and smell everything! There was a great view of the sunset and we were serenaded by so many birds, frogs, and even an owl near our camp at night. I normally camp in backcountry areas with many rocks and roots so the grass felt like luxury to sleep on. Love how close this is to KC, perfect for a quick getaway!

Great place to camp. Bunkhouse was just as described, AC was wonderful on a warm evening. Clean facilities. My husband plans on bringing a guitar next time to play in the silo.

Enjoyed our stay! Easy to find, huge meadow to choose campsite. There is a fire ring to use. Parts of the wooded areas were heavy with ticks, be careful! Small pond to try fishing. Quiet area.

Over all the park is nice with plenty of activities. We didnt get C9 due to a mixup but feel like our spot was better anyway C9 is really positioned for two or more RV's to face each other. I would go back for sure.

Weekend Trip to Honey Grove Campground
Very nice peaceful campground. Cabin was small but exactly what we expected & was all my family needed and we will be staying again. Host was very easy to communicate with & answered any questions I had right away. If you want to get away for a weekend and just enjoy the peace & quiet than you will love this place. Even with it being a holiday weekend, we had very little neighbors. That's was a bonus
