Really beautiful area to set up for a picnic and overall generally secluded. Rarely see people walk by here. I set up a great picnic to propose to my girlfriend. Spend all night setting up the basket and getting a ring hand and custom made from Drenon jewelry. She said no.
Very nice primitive campsite. Portajohn 1/4 mile walk away. Bring your own water or a filtration system for the nearby stream. Bring wood for the large fire pit, but you can leave your tables at home because there are 4 picnic tables and a large cooking height table at the site.
Our Scout Troop had a great time! Eagle Scout project bridge was neat to see. Easy access to trails for hiking or biking.
It was a very nice camp site. It was to bad there was a burn ban. There were not other means of cooking at the site so i world recommend bringing other methods. The portapotty was clean just a small hike from the site.
The coolest park in KC
