Beautiful, peaceful Kansas. Nice private site with a great view of a lake and wild land all around. It was a perfect spot to rest while traveling.

A beautiful, secluded spot with stunning sunset and night sky views. If you want some peace and quiet, this is the place for you! We enjoyed a relaxing weekend and would love to stay here again soon.

Beautiful and secluded spot on the prairie! A bit hard to find the first go around, but Host was quick to offer directions. Simple but effective!

Lovely space. I didn’t have the opportunity to make my way to the lake but it was a peaceful stay. Josh left some firewood at the fire for me well. Very nice!

What a beautiful view, from one of my favorite places in Kansas!! This was the perfect location for our Melvern Lake adventure. Plenty of privacy for van camping and for our dog to run. We're not big on crowded campgrounds. The weather was a challenge and got pretty hairy most of our trip. Which was a huge bummer, but we were still able to make the most of it. Joshua saved the day when my 2x2 van got stuck in the field, right before a huge storm hit. We will forever be grateful for him braving the weather and getting us out of a bind!! Praying for better weather next season when we return. Would love to stay here again!! We were sad to leave :(.
