I worked at the Coffeyville location last season and will be going back this October.
As Jim & Betty said, Big Chief is right across the road and within walking distance (that's where I stayed last season and where I'll be again) - although once it starts getting colder later in the season it won't exactly be a pleasant walk.
Yes, you do need to pay state income tax. When you get your forms in January, you can file in Kansas as a non-resident and get some back (for me it was $83 dollars), but you do still need to pay some. Considering the rate of pay and the fact that Amazon pays for site + utilities, it's still a great deal money-wise. I've done a pretty extensive review about Amazon, it can be found in the site in my link.
