Welcome to the Cimarron National Grassland, one of twenty National Grasslands administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. Located within Morton and Stevens Counties in southwestern Kansas, the Cimarron National Grassland contains 108,175 acres.
In Elkhart, KS, at the intersection of US Rt. 56 and Morton St., take Rt. 56 east 1.8 miles to State Rt. 27. Turn left onto Rt. 27 and go 7.6 miles to campground and Forest Rt. 700 signs. Turn right at signs, onto Rt. 700 (gravel) and go 4.2 miles to campground on left.
Great place. Simple, don't expect a whole lot. Very cool hiking, birding, and I'm told it's a good spot to fish as well. It's a bit of a journey into town so come prepared. Took us a minute to find the place. You want to keep going straight down the gravel road for some time after you pull off the main road. Watch out for biting insects in the summer time. Evening storms are very pretty but make sure you have the gear for it. All and all a great time.
Nice quiet area, close to water and restrooms. Close to a lot of very scenic areas.
Cimarron National Grasslands, $7.00 per sites 10 sites (some are double sites so they call it 14 sites) all pads ar gravel, a couple are pretty level, all sites have fire ring, vaulted toilets, several water spigots according to Kansas worker they check the spigot monthly. Several Ponds some are stocked with trout in the winter a stamp is needed for the rainbow trout. During the summer they are stocked with catfish. 23 miles Santa Fe Trail are within the Parks boundaries. Bobwhite, and coyote, dear and other birds spotted through the Park. CAUTION: Before you get to site 1, there are 2 trees the one on the left has the scars to show the damage it has done to taller vehicles (we are 13.11 and just received a slight raspberry a couple layers of self leveling caullk and all is good for now!).
Well this looks like a good site to camp plenty of things to do and restroom or outhouses. Camp does have a fee for staying the night it’s $7.00 per night and leave time is the following day by 2:00 pm. Looks like there’s plenty of fire wood for your site and it’s already pre-cut for your needs. This site looks very clean do to good Samaritans and responsible people.
