Colby RV Park

This was a really nice park with full hookups, picnic table, fire pit, and little shade. There was a nice pavilion. The office is a remodeled old train depot with tons of character. I had a nice pull through. Most of the sites are gravel. Super easy off and back on the interstate, I-70. Some road noise but not an issue. Would definitely stay here again!

Arrived on time for one night stop. I decided on this park Instead of Walmart for peace of mind but figured out my site was gone and given to other person(one night too) without any reason other than she don’t like my last name. It bothers me because this site are shared water, electric and sewer with other, meaning everything is in front of my trailer . Lot of work for night. Privacy is gone, my view is gone. Un-respectful. Don’t come.

The Colby RV Park (formerly the Whistle Stop) is a nice stopover while traveling through Kansas. It's nothing fancy - just a large, level gravel lot - but it gets the job done. The staff were very nice and helpful, bathroom/laundry building well kept, electricity worked great and the sites were very level. It's close to the highway, so there's some vehicle noise at night. Walmart is literally across the street, which is a great convenience and there are several gas stations, fast food places and another grocery store nearby. I was pleased with the campground and would stop by again.

We booked this online about a month in advance. At 9 am on the scheduled day of arrival we received a text with a receipt, the wifi password, bathhouse door code, and a map of the sites showing which one was ours. All sites are pull-through and quite level. Our site was completely paved with a new patio and picnic table. We use 30a and power was good.

We stayed here for one night while traveling between Abilene, Kansas and Denver, Colorado. The staff initially put us in site 41, but as we pulled in we realized there was no way we were going to avoid scraping our brand new roof on one of the tree branches on our way out (our rig is just under 13-feet tall). We asked if we could get a different spot and that wasn’t a problem (they were willing to call a camper and have him move his truck so we could have more room pulling in, but that wasn’t necessary).

The roads in the campground are gravel. There was (what looked like) a brand new section of pull-throughs that was entirely gravel, but in the older rows of sites the surface was grass with some patches of dirt. Our site was a bit off-level side-to-side, but nothing that a block or two on the low side couldn’t solve. The sites in our row were buddy sites, but while the sites were close they weren’t tight.

They were in in process of remodeling the office building during our stay, so the only service being provided out of the building was checking in campers. There is a lot of open grassy space, particularly near the front of the campground, for walking dogs, though our dogs did pick up some burrs in their pads. We didn’t notice any road noise from nearby I-70, nor from the traffic visiting the Walmart across the street from the campground.

In terms of cell service, the speeds I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna when we first arrived were low - 4Mbps down and 7Mbps up - and they got worse as the day went on: we could not stream video and certain webpages took forever to load. However, I did see decent bandwidth early Sunday morning, with one (brief) reading of 34Mbps down and 17Mbps up, so maybe Verizon is a bit congested. The one speed test I performed on my AT&T phone showed 170Mbps down and 21Mbps up. The campground WiFi was good enough for basic web surfing but struggled when uploading photos.

We’d stay here again if we were in the area.
