Whistle Stop RV and Antiques

We stayed here for one night while traveling between Abilene, Kansas and Denver, Colorado. The staff initially put us in site 41, but as we pulled in we realized there was no way we were going to avoid scraping our brand new roof on one of the tree branches on our way out (our rig is just under 13-feet tall). We asked if we could get a different spot and that wasn’t a problem (they were willing to call a camper and have him move his truck so we could have more room pulling in, but that wasn’t necessary).

The roads in the campground are gravel. There was (what looked like) a brand new section of pull-throughs that was entirely gravel, but in the older rows of sites the surface was grass with some patches of dirt. Our site was a bit off-level side-to-side, but nothing that a block or two on the low side couldn’t solve. The sites in our row were buddy sites, but while the sites were close they weren’t tight.

They were in in process of remodeling the office building during our stay, so the only service being provided out of the building was checking in campers. There is a lot of open grassy space, particularly near the front of the campground, for walking dogs, though our dogs did pick up some burrs in their pads. We didn’t notice any road noise from nearby I-70, nor from the traffic visiting the Walmart across the street from the campground.

In terms of cell service, the speeds I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna when we first arrived were low - 4Mbps down and 7Mbps up - and they got worse as the day went on: we could not stream video and certain webpages took forever to load. However, I did see decent bandwidth early Sunday morning, with one (brief) reading of 34Mbps down and 17Mbps up, so maybe Verizon is a bit congested. The one speed test I performed on my AT&T phone showed 170Mbps down and 21Mbps up. The campground WiFi was good enough for basic web surfing but struggled when uploading photos.

We’d stay here again if we were in the area.
