Anyone Stayed at Walnut Grove RV Park, Shawnee Mission, KS?

We are planning a trip to the Kansas City, KS area in mid-September and would like recommendations on where to stay. Has anyone recently stayed at Walnut Grove RV Park, or perhaps at Cottonwood Camping RV Park in Bonner Springs, KS? What is your opinion of the parks regarding sites, amenities, quietness, etc?

We will need full hookups (30 amp).

Any info at all would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your input. If all the sites are that tight, it sounds a tad too confined for us.

    We will look more closely at Bonner Springs.

    Do you need to stay on the west side of Kansas City? If not, I'd recommend Blue Springs Lake CG operated by Jackson County (Missouri); it's on the east side of KC and just a few minutes south of I-70. Smithville Lake CG north of KC also has some good reviews but I haven't stayed there.


    We would prefer to stay on the west side if possible. We did stay at Blue Lake Springs last year and enjoyed it, but it was a bit too far away for our purposes.

    The first place I check when wanting to get information about a campground is www.rvparkreviews.com.

    I searched on Walnut Grove and found this: http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/Kansas/Merriam.html#CGID5124. Is this what you were looking for?


    Thanks for the link,. Looks like it may be very useful. However, I would still like to hear from any of our forum members who may be able to give first-hand, current information.

    Thanks for the speedy reply, too.
