Love this campground. Lots of campsites are close to the water and you can fish from the bank. Extra bonus is a cover over most of the picnic tables. Very quiet and peaceful campground. Well be back!!

Campground was clean. The sites were level and paved. Great view of lake. Sites were also spaced out so it didnt feel like you had a neighbor. One of the nicest campgrounds weve stayed in.

I would have given an excellent review but I dont want the secret of how wonderful this lake is to get out.

Very nice campground on the lake and close to the cute historic town of Council Grove.

The leash law is not enforced and my dog was attacked by 2 large dogs not on a leash our 2nd night. My dog was at an unfortunate disadvantage as he was on his leash and could not protect himself. It has been 14 days and my dog is still having difficulty walking, using steps, and lifting his leg to go to the restroom. One dog appeared to be half Pitbull and he almost killed my dog. The owner of the dog did not even come to help pull the dogs off my dog. Women and children were trying to make the dogs stop but they were very scared of the half Pitbull themselves. The other dog, one of the young boys managed to lay on top of that dog to keep it from attacking my dog again. I was so scared if my son and I was going to get attacked too.
Our first night our dog was approached by a different large dog but the owner was able to call the dog away after the dog came up to our dog.

There was another large dog the entire stay that was 4 campsites up from our campsite that was never on a leash too. Fortunately the dog was called back by the owner several times.

The firepit is in a very bad location and is located on the backside of our camper. It felt like you were with the other campers so we did not use it. There were several campsites in choice locations blocked for non use. Repairs need to be made if it is the reason for blocking them.

The park personnel were very concerned about the attack and had me call 911. Police/Sherriff came out quickly. The park ranger came out the next day to get our story and said he was going to write up a citation to the pet owner for not having his 2 dogs on leashes.

There should be large signs put up at he entrance gate that say dogs not on a leash will be fined no exceptions. There needs to be made leash checks several times a day. Have a dog with them on the checks as the unleashed dogs come out of the woodwork to approach a dog on a leash.

This is a great little gem of a lake and area for just flat out relaxing. It always depends on who your camping neighbors are but we have not had a bad experience here at Council Grove Lake.
