WeimLady - Most of my relatives live in Topeka. My uncle said there is a great RV park at Lake Shawnee. What are your thoughts on this park? Are there any others that you would recommend around Topeka?
We go there several times a year when we want to camp, but are too busy with our "real lives" to go far. It is nice - pretty level sites on gravel, nice bathhouses, close to Topeka, sites back up to the water, it has a private swim beach for the CG, it is rarely crowded and pretty cheap (I'm thinking around $14 a night). The only thing I don't like is that there is a lot of gravel and in some areas not much grass unless you go behind your rig.
Other than that, we go to a couple of COE parks around here - Clinton and Perry are both about 30 minutes away (SE or NE between Topeka and Lawrence) and VERY nice. Pomona and Tuttle Creek are a little further away but equally nice. The commercial RV parks aren't much to write home about in Topeka, though. Lots and lots of permanent folks that aren't exactly, uh, well - you know. We did stay at one, and I felt a little out of place without my tube tops and stilettos.

We have done exactly this - the back of our TT is completely flat and white - a perfect movie screen! The kids love it when we have our "movie nights" complete with popcorn, candy and (of course) lots of marshmallows and s'mores!luxndirt wrote:

We have a 12 year old daughter who would love to have somebody to camp with. It's always more fun when you have others around the campfire. I like the way soaravenal is camping up there in CA! Is that a movie on a projector?

Okay, this makes four families...let's get it started! We live in Weston, MO just outside of KC. We will meet up with everyone anywhere within 2-3 hour drive. With the weather as nice as it has been, I have been begging my husband to "de-winterize" the rv and go camping for a weekend! I'm sure as soon as we do that, the 10 degree nights will set in again!
