Wonderful park close to Lawrence and Topeka. Lots of opportunities for boating. Weather was cold and then hot. Very close to two historical museums and good restaurants.

Level site, but this is a buddy site to 29. Looking behind us we had views of the water, but our front view was the neighbors camper. Overall good site. Just wish it was listed as a buddy site.

The volunteer camp host was so nice and even brought me his special catfish bait to borrow. It worked great!

Nice shade, close to bathrooms (so a fair amount of foot traffic near site). I would pick the site again.
@MaryS3622227 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #PB28
We love the location and how well kept the grounds are. We would like to suggest more 50 amp sites.

Unfortunately, the area around our campsite hadn't been mowed for awhile. We heard they're having difficulty in finding people to mow.
@SueJ8473142 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #PB48
The camp hosts have the campground neat and picked up. Ron and John take EXCELLENT care not only of the penusilla at Rock Creek but the campers who stay there. We are looking forward to seeing Ron and John back again next year!

Everything was great except the picnic tables at all sites, the boards are weather beaten, warped and/or broken.

First camping trip with a new travel trailer. Good lot with very little leveling needed.
@DanielW5233823 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #PC78
Clean and spectacular views of the lake.
@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Sep 28, 2023 at Campsite #PC75
Needs more shade trees
@AmyC3583814 · Camped on Sep 12, 2023 at Campsite #R4
The site was great we were off grid and a little off by ourselves so peaceful. Bathrooms are nice except the lights are on a motion timer and it always would go off just as I was getting dressed, so if after sundown was really dark! Another 5 minutes and it would have been fine.
@DougO2441236 · Camped on Aug 28, 2023 at Campsite #PC71
Camping during the week is always quiet. Camp host were extremely pleasant. Will be back.
@KenN1774640 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #PA3
Site was covered with small flies. Party with loud music ran until 10pm, then a large, loud group finally broke up around 12am, but a couple of guys continued to talk and laughing loudly thru most of the night!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
