You couldn't swing a dead cat (not that you'd want to) without hitting a lifted truck or a HUGE 5th wheel at this place. We were there on a Friday night. It was PACKED. I am guessing there are 100 sites there and I counted two tent campers, including our friendly neighbors. Standing room only. It was also very windy and most folks did not know to put everything away at night; trash was blowing everywhere when we got up. So, it felt kinda like a weekend warrior location while we were there.
The campground itself is very nicely maintained and the camp host was good with directions. We had a smallish site, but there were some super nice sites there that face the woods. Site 62 is kind of a shared site. Not much privacy. But the site was pretty clean, save for a few cigarette butts. We had 30A but no water, which is fine with us. There is a dump and potable water in site. Easy to access.
We also stopped at a local bike shop before getting to the site. They gave us maps of the mountain bike trails around the lake. We did not have time to ride them, but I hope we can get back there and check it out, hopefully on a weeknight...

Needed a place for the night on a XC trip. Koa up the road not answering phones. But we called here and they had several sites available on a drive up basis. Pulled in right at closing...9pm. Huge spot, quiet and had everything we needed. Cheap, too.

However, the campgrounds were very clean and quiet and had everything you could ask for… laundry, dumpsters, bathrooms and, for only a little more money, you could have a premium site with full hook ups on a perfectly level pad. Our site (59) was on the end and had a nice big field with volley ball nets and plenty of space to pass a football.

Very pretty campground with rolling hills of grass. Sites vary from full hook-up (FHU) on concrete pads (these sites are pretty close together) to more spread out gravel sites that have either FHUs or just electric.
We arrived during the last weekend in October (the campground does close for the season on October 31st) and most sites were booked. We rolled in and the host gave us some 30A (only) gravel site options which were more than big enough to fit our 40' rig, but weren't super level. We were able to get ourselves leveled. Our site was nicely separated from others.
Showers were weird - some had timers and others were free flowing. Some had poor nozzle flow and others were fine. Water was hot, but restrooms were unheated. Dryer in laundry room was out of commission during our stay.
There is a double lane, two dump station area that you exit the park from. There is a volleyball net and some pear trees in the campground. Trash receptacles are available. OTA TV provided a swath of channels. Verizon coverage and usability was solid.
Park was very quiet at night. Deer were prevalent and visited in the mornings. There were nice (on road) running loops around the lakes. A quick drive to local box stores. About 25-30minute drive to downtown KC.

Great place. Good price. Level site. Gravel. Full book ups. Right next to a playground for our kids. Nice grass. Nice staff. Nothing negative to say. About 30 minute drive to anything we wanted to do in KC.

Quiet campground back in the trees. Narrowish road around park. Staff friendly. Showers were ok but water not hot. Only lukewarm. A small laundry on site. Was always being used so we went offsite to a laundromat. Close to Lees Summit and Independence. Site was pretty level.

Clean facilities, quiet, nice trees and lawns throughout. Dog and kid friendly; perfect for passing through. Very nice playground on site for kids. *Note the blue springs lake beach access is driving distance from campground and doesn’t open until 11am.

Access roads are paved and wide. Just an all round great feel to the place. We would def stay here again.
Also, the office called me back after I left a message with Parks and Recreation, to follow up to tell me which spots would be available for the one night. Very helpful staff.

Site 58, next to ours, has awesome afternoon shade if you’re here in the summer. We drove through Jacomo CG to the south, and part of the same park system, looked just as nice as Blue Springs.

Dump on the way out. Hosts are great. It was particularly windy while we were here but the trees provided a sheltered spot. Good over the air tv and cellphone reception for both Verizon and AT&T. We had a partial hookup - reg. $26 a night. $2.00 off for being golden! Didn’t have a problem getting here. Pretty straight shot off 70 south on 470. Signs will lead you there.
