Ellis Lakeside City Campground

Very convenient and cozy campground right off I-70 in Kansas. Country park is located about 3 hours W of Wichita, KS. On a small river with shaded lots, mostly level gravel pull through sites. Far enough of the interstate that you really can’t hear traffic. No privacy between sites. We stayed in Sept. 2021 and paid $20 to include 30 amp hookups with water. No sewer at the site, not sure if there is a dump station. They do have 50 amp pedestals. Would stay again.

Great small park and town. The new sites are level concrete pads 20/30/50 amp power and water. Police patrol park and very friendly. Stopped for a couple days and stayed 9. 2 museums and a small town diner and a golf course with club house, all great food. Only thing is branches on the way in are a little low. We are 13-6 tall and missed them but a great stopping place

Very nice park with electric and water- most sites are level and plenty of room between the sites - nice park - sone sites are in the sun and sone under very large trees next to the lake/river -we stayed in 11 and was very pleased

As always a great little campground for a nite (or even a few). So glad they expanded! This is probably our fourth time stopping here on our way to and from Colorado. Great deal for the money for sure!

The town put in 8 new spaces with water & electricity this year. Nice spot for an overnight stay.

This was good for what it was. Here's our Pros and Cons: Pros: cute town, quiet, pretty with the river, friendly cop came by and let the kids see his car, easy first come first serve payment box, fire pit and grill and picnic table, $20 was great for just passing through on our way to Utah Cons: even though the sites say water and electrical there is one box between every two campsites. Some of the water hookups only have one spicket so only one site can use. The electrical at our site was not putting out 30 amp as it said so we just ran our generator. There was a WiFi with password but our phones couldn't detect the WiFi to sign on. We made due with those but would have rated it a 5 if those things had been working. We would stay again if passing through.

Not up to others reviews. At 1pm only one site available (all others taken up by what appears as “full Timers”. No 50 amp sites. More of a “Mobile Home Park” than a RV Park.

Wonderful small town campground with large shady spots on the river. Nice and clean bathrooms. Short walk to the quaint downtown and a large playground. Sites are first come first serve and typically full up by 3 pm, so get there early. We enjoyed it so much that we stayed an extra night. Stop by Gella’s in Hays for a delicious meal and great beers!

Very convenient, peaceful park right off the interstate. Hot showers, clean basic facilities. Best of all, tall shade trees covering most of the sites. Short walk to town (which needs your business), bored cops drive through hourly and wave. Childhood home of Walter Chrysler. We’ll return.

What a great surprise! Someone took a trainyard by the river and turned it into a small rv park and railroad museum. HUGE sites with giant shady trees, big showers and a great playground a few blocks away at the railraod museum/ballpark. I love sites with no reservation system but get their early as there are only 15 sites and there were Rvs circling the site all night looking for a spot. Poor downtown Eliis was completely empty on a Saturday night so if you stay here please visit one of the restaurants and help them out. Someone said in the early reviews about train and freeway noise? but its no where near the freeway and te train doesnt run anymore except the kid-sized one.
