Chehaw Park Campground

Stopped here for a quick overnight, so we didn’t check out the zoo. A large park with a very roomy campground. Gravel / grassy sites mostly level, I did not unhook for our overnight. Great staff at the office brought me to the site. $33 for a full hookup spot. Verizon a weak one bar signal, the the Wi-Fi worked well at our site. A solid 4 star location.

Lovely lady at park entrance found us a spot despite not having a reservation, and the charming camp host met us to show us to our spot. $28 for full 50A hookups is great! The gorgeous, picturesque campground is beautifully maintained with mown grass, plenty of trees, and nice level, long sites. We did have neighbors but they weren't super close. Very easy access and big rig friendly. Verizon gave us 2 bars and was very acceptable. Loved this place and will for sure return!

My experience with campendium reviews is that I generally agree with my fellow reviewers. This campground is a huge exception, to the point that I am wondering if the only review before mine was completely contrived. It began with a lame park attendant who looked at our Airstream travel trailer and asked if we were tent camping! That was our first sign of things to come, he then gave us a receipt for a $7 Visa transaction when we paid $20 cash for our site & asked us 3x if we were staying only one night. ??? Distracted apathetic unengaged youth. Sigh. Now onto the safety issues: huge loose tree branches about to fall on route to the restroom; rusty open manhole cover hidden in the tallgrass near playground; no vent for laundry dryer so 5" of lint accumulating a fire hazard at only exit for women's non-ADA accessible rusty, paint chipped bathroom. Then we witnessed speeders driving too fast unchecked thru the park. They also do not pick up litter in the campground or the park, so it accumulates in the full disc golf trash baskets & firepits and gets ground into millions of disgusting bits by the lawnmower. Yuk to dozens of cigarette butts and beer bottle caps in my fire pit! On the plus side, the entrance sign is alluring (and maybe why with the false review we didn't ask for a drive thru - a lesson I will not soon forget) and the new mini water park & BMX track looked fun.

There are a ton of things to do, like a BMX track, hiking trails, mountain bike trails and the biggest playground we've ever seen.

The park is super quiet and safe. There are locked gates at night.

There are shower and washroom facilities in the RV loop. The showers don't offer much privacy and they're not cleaned very well. There's also a washer and dryer in the same building ($1 for a wash, $1 for the dryer), but the dryer broke twice while we were there.

The spaces are spread apart well enough that you don't feel like anyone is right on top of you. There was a lot of room for our 3 kids to run around all day long.

Overall, it was a great place. I'd be happy to stay here again. We only planned on staying for a week, but with no rush of having to move on, it turned into 28 days.
