RV 8 Months Per Year
Beautiful clean campground. Easily accessible from I 70 We stayed in 12 different campgrounds 1/1/24-8/21/24. Great Escape has the largest lots, great clean pool and facilities & beautiful landscape. It is the nicest campground we have stayed in Arizona to Oregon then East through Missouri.

5 stars Until This crew showed up.
Nice park, beautiful grounds, but they allow smudge pots and off leash dogs.
People are assholes.
Don’t be an asshole.
We’ll never be back.

Nice Campground
We are staying for one nite, site 48. This campground is easy to get to and close to the highway. The sites are gravel. Not totally level but nothing we couldn’t deal with. The man in the office was very accommodating and very nice. He said if we weren’t happy with our site, let him know and he would help with another site. The site I picked out from the website turned out just fine. We can see the pond because there are no rvs next to us. I would certainly stay here again. We did not use the shower house or restrooms

Site was un-level. Would have required 4 leveling blocks to get close to level. Grass and weeds over grown. Roads dirt and dusty. Advertise propane, but office was closed at 3pm in the afternoon and no one around. A few travelers in the park. Most were longer term stays. Not sure why all the positive reviews of this place, but not at all as advertised. Moved on down the road. No refund. We were told needed to cancel 30 days in advance of stay.

Expensive For What You Get
Just needed an overnight spot. Close to the freeway. Those are the highlights. Quite a view of their junkyard.

Great RV campsite VERY Accommodating
Fried from driving in the wind and needed a place to park two RV's, the staff was VERY accommodating and put us together. Very quite park with plenty of space to stretch out our awning. They have ponds to fish, fenced in dog play area, additional space for a good game if catch, staff was very nice and accommodating, will definitely stay here again if we get a chance!

Just OK
We stayed here for 1 night as we passed through. The sites are very tight and the neighbor’s sewer is right at your door and picnic area. The sites are relatively level but they are muddy with rain. The playground could use some updating. If you drive a little north, there is a walmart in the town of Higginsville. This worked ok for us as a pass through...but definitely wouldn’t stay longer than one night.

Great Campground
Very very friendly staff. Sites are as close to level as you can get with gravel. Electric and sewer hook ups look brand new and worked great. The ponds have fish that are easy to catch from very well maintained banks. Over all for a simple camp ground, this place was awesome. Due to the stupid Covid the bar and grill were closed so didn’t get to experience that. We will 100% be back again.

Nice Place
The staff was very friendly. There was a bar and grill on site, limited menu, but nice staff and good quick meal. Site wasn't quite level, but doable for overnight. I would stay here again.

Ok Overnight Stop
A lot of noise from adjacent highway 70, pretty non stop. Easy access, reasonably level, some long pull throughs. Must be nice during summer with the pool, but in October the place is fairly empty with the main building in need of a significant cleanup.
WiFi quite poor, no cable but about TV channels from nearby Kansas City.

Great Escape
First of all, the staff is very friendly. The sites are open and the view of the lake is great. The pool is fabulous. Everything is very clean! We enjoyed our stay and we will be back!

We spent one night at this RV Park and it was perfect. Easy to get to with level, long pull through sites, didn't have to UN hook trailer. Bathrooms were spotless and the lady at the front office was very nice. I would recommend this campground and give it a 10.

We got there late and left early so we didn't get to see much, but what we did discover was the lady at the desk was very sweet, the showers are clean and large each one have its own sink and toilet. Campground was quiet and clean.
