This is a favorite of ours - great campsites that are well taken care of! Council Grove is a fantastic small town with a rich history.

It was very nice and quiet. I love the lake and Joel was extremely helpful. He got us in a spot that we could fit because we had a 40 foot motorhome and another 26 foot trailer so everything worked out really well and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Canning Creek is one of our favorites. It is hard to beat the essence of the Tall Grass Prairie.

If you want beautiful scenery and relaxation this is the place to go. We watched beautiful sunsets and sunrises every morning sitting on the lake. The spaces between other campers was nice you wasnt right on top of the other. You had your own pavilion and the campsites were angles just right where you come out of your door and had lake view. We drove almost 8 hours but well worth it. We will be going back.

We stayed at Canning Creek campground in a travel trailer for 2 nights. Site was plenty (huge) big enough. Our site was beautiful and back up to the lake. When we want into town a school teacher asked where we were camping, I told her Canning Creek she said it was the old folk's campground. Old folks or not we loved it. I should say we are young old folks. Our neighbors were great too. If we are ever in the area again, we will stay here again. Showers were clean did not use restrooms. Peaceful place to camp. Best campground we stopped at from Ohio to California.

Site 36 was nice. The shower house and park for the kids were right by with a walk across the road getting you to water access. Complete hookups too, including waste.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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.
