The campground was clean and neat, and the facilities worked well. The staff was friendly and accommodating. She even had treats ready for my dog! The park is for sale, and, the owner believes, has been purchased. In all likely hood, it will be under new ownership next spring. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Typical KOA with very friendly owner/manager on duty. We only used it as an overnight while traveling I-70 but had no problems at all. Would definitely stay when traveling in the area. Price reflected KOA discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is an easy to find park with long, level, pull-through sites. Everything was very clean, and the showers had a dressing area. There were 70 cable channels that came in clearly. The Wireless worked well, and the owners are very nice. It is very close to the highway, so expect some noise. We will return if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A great campground with plenty of stuff to do for kids. It had nice level sites, and cable TV that had more than 8 stations. Also had a very good dog area. We will come back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a good campground: Level sites, friendly staff, beautifully landscaped. Ice cream in the evening and pancake breakfasts in the morning. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Convenient to the interstate so you will hear traffic noise. Smallish pool and older playground but the kids enjoyed both. Restroom/shower was clean and adequate. Ice cream social every evening and pancake breakfast every morning for an extra, reasonable, charge. Nothing much else to do but a very adequate place to overnight on the road. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great place to pull off the freeway, and this place is close to a 10. The reason it's not, is that it's close to the freeway/noise, and the pull through sites are all gravel. Other than the two above negatives, there are MANY positives....cable, wifi, pool, hot tub, pancake breakfasts EVERY morning, Ice cream social EVERY evening, nice store, clean grounds, spotless bathrooms, nice mowed lawns, excellent doggy area, easy in and easy out. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We actually stopped in May and June. Facilities were much improved on the June visit. Campground is for sale but maintenance is still good. Had the ice cream and the pancake breakfast both very good. They had expanded their hours in the evening which was nice. Open until 9 PM. Still closed a good part of the day. A nice and convenient stop half way between Denver and KC. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Spaces were level. Showers and facilities were very clean and well maintained. Good for an overnight stay. Road noise was at a minimum for KOA's. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the second time we camped here coming and going to Colorado for vacation from Kansas City Missouri. I would recommend it for a one or more night stay. The park was clean and open til 7PM. Management was friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice enough KOA. Long pull through sites and park is well gravelled. Good wi-fi and good cable tv. My major complaint, and I marked them down signficantly for this, is the hours. The office is closed 19 or every 24 hours, open only five hours daily. If you want to register, or resolve a problem, of buy something you need, you are out of luck. Who closes a business 19 hours out of every 24? Ridiculous. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park, attendants friendly, really a nice place to stop if passing through or to stay awhile. Very clean, well maintained grounds. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is our third stay here in the last 2 years. It's a good stopping point for us from St. Louis. They are always very friendly and serve a excellent pancake breakfast. You have road noise from I-70 but it really didn't bother us. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed at this campground overnight on our way from St. Louis to Denver. It's a nice campground; the sites are wide and long enough to allow you to leave your tow vehicle hooked up overnight. The staff is very courteous. The store is well stocked and the merchandise is reasonably priced (this is quite unusual!). The pancake breakfast was a nice touch. WiFi service not only worked, but it was fast! We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great place to stopover! Nice clean pool, daily breakfast, nice ice cream social. Big level sites. One of the better KOA's, and it shows! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our stay here was mostly nice. The pool water was not very clean and well kept it seemed. The Pancake breakfast was nice. Everyone here was very nice and helpful and the park was overall pretty well maintained. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Great over night stop off the highway. Clean and safe campground. You won't go wrong if you need to rest after a long day driving though Kansas. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park with easy access to I-70. The staff was friendly and helpful. The sites were easy to get into and out of, were of average size, level gravel pads with a grass area for each site. Has a decent pet walking areas. They even provide a hydrant for those dogs inclined to use it. Would visit this park again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Although right next to I-70, we found the campsite noise level not too bad. We were in the back. Trees are young and growing, so shade is limited. Sites have plenty of space length-wise and in-between. WiFi worked just fine, no fee. Everything was clean, mowed, and nice. Staff was very bubbly and friendly. Sites are gravel and level. Utilities were just fine. Pool looked great. Evacuation area is in the women's bathroom, not underground, not posted on campground flyer. Perhaps a bit unnerving in really bad weather. Pancakes and sausage served up on weekends (fee). Not much in the area to see, but a nice overnight stop. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here in the middle of a small dust storm - dreadful wind and threatening storms. We came in after hours and were able to get to a our site quickly and set up quickly. Due to the weather, we did not use any of the amenities. What we did see of the park, we could tell it was well maintained and family friendly. It was a very nice KOA park in Western Kansas. However, I won't give it a "10" because we don't like parks that charge/penalize us just for having children. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We changed our route to avoid storms and still ended up pulling into this park during a tornado warning. Staff was great, and facilities adequate as we spent a somewhat wet and windy night. The park is not particularly scenic but we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The people in this campground were very friendly. They have an ice cream social every night. The sites are a little close together and if you need a sewer hookup no matter which type of site you book you need to specify that you need sewer or they will put you in a spot that doesn't have sewer. We had to be moved after we realized we had no sewer. This is a clean maintained campground and even though it was next to the Interstate the road noise was minimal. We would stay here again for an over night stay if needed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Interstate 70 across Kansas seems like a wasteland and then we found the oasis that we were looking for, the Wakeeny, KS KOA. We had planned to stay at a different location on our westward trip, but we went farther than expected. We called ahead and checked to see if they had sites available. The extremely friendly staff said, “Come on!” and we did. When we got arrived, during business hours, we found the office was closed, but a note was on the door explaining they would return soon. All of our paperwork was located outside with instructions telling us which site to go to. Only later did we find out the reason why the office was closed, the staff had taken one of the campers to a local doctor after they became ill! How about that for service? Definitely worth the stop when you are traveling through Kansas. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
FINALLY a KOA that has all it's stuff together. On this 3 month trip we have been at WAR with corporate KOA and there WIFI service, this is the FIRST KOA of 8 (that we stayed) were we have connected to WIFI. Corporate says it's the local campground problem, but corporate still has their name hanging out on the shingle, they refuse to assume any responsibility, THEY SHOULD. What happened here was that WaKeeney had their head turned on straight (instead of the restof the campgrounds that were sitting on their upturned thumb), instead of saying, just 'click' on it, THEY provided written instructions and in those instructions you will find 'another' step that actually does take you to connectivity. All those other KOA idiots should contact WaKeeney and acquire a copy of their instructions, even they might be "enlightened". At any rate, this is also the VERY FIRST KOA we have ever been too that DID NOT have a 90% of the sites taken up by 'permanents', THERE WERE ZERO of them!!!! Made for a VERY, VERY comfortable stay. This place is clean, sites are level, access roads are great. There is no shade, but there is no shade in Kansas anywhere!!!! WILL stay here again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was way above your normal KOA. The price was good, the staff was excellent and the wifi worked like a charm. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had stopped here before, and wondered if it would be as good the second time around, and were pleased that it was. The only complaint could be that, as late in the season as we were, the pancake breakfast wasn't available. A small price to pay for the convenience and the warm greeting, welcoming us back. We will always plan our trips to include a stopover here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground that has all the amenities that you would expect at a KOA. The owners are very friendly and make us feel at home during a wet & cold couple of days. It's just off the freeway, but the traffic noise is minimal. We marked this campground on our GPS and will camp here again on our way across Kansas on 70. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent KOA for an overnite stop. Very clean and very helpful staff. They escort you to your site. Sites large enough to accomadate any size rig. Will definitely stay again when going thru the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This KOA was fine for stopping overnight. The only comment we had was that the showers were cooled by fans and no A/C. Staff was friendly and efficient. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice laid out park. Close to I-70 so you do get some road noise. Ice Cream from 7:30 - 8:00 and then a very reasonable pancake breakfast in the morning. The staff was friendly and the sites all appeared to be very level. The rate was with a KOA card. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice KOA. Sites were good sized and the kids enjoyed the pool. Staff was very friendly. Provided a free snack for canine guests. Had an ice cream social at night and a pancake breakfast in the morning. Sites were level and had a picnic table. Road noise was not bad. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed at this KOA for two days. Well kept park, friendly mangers. Large pull through gravel sites which are very level. Wide roads. This is a very busy KOA due to its location at the junction of I 70 and 283, midway between Denver and Kansas City. It is very quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There's nothing "special" about this campground other than it's convenient location to the highway, and the owners. We have stayed here on 4 or 5 occasions while traveling, and will continue to do so. Wakeeney is not a destination sight for many people, but that shouldn't be a detraction to this campground. It is one of the best overnight "destinations" we have found, and will keep planning our trips to include a stip here to unwind. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Convenient, easy in and easy out campground. Great place to stop for the night, but nothing special. I would have liked to have felt a little more secure, however. I would probably stop there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Typical KOA in the middle of nowhere with the major redeeming quality of being convenient to the interstate and a big truck stop. Most everybody here is an overnighter and for this, the place is excellent. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Awesome overnight campground; we made it a point to return here on our return trip. Sites are spaced out well, full-hookup pull through sites and cable tv; clean pool and spa. The all-you-can eat pancake breakfasts each morning were delicious and served in a friendly atmosphere. Great staff. If we're in the area again and need to stop, we'll definitely be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
