Sunnywoods Resort & Campground

We stayed for five night & loved it there! The camp host was so sweet. She made popcorn in the evenings for the campers & coffee, bagels, & cinnamon rolls in the mornings. The bathroom was exceptionally clean & the camp was quiet & peaceful. My kids loved the river too & played in the water several times. We can't wait to go back! We were happy campers!

This was the worst experience. PLEASE DONT STAY HERE! Reviews are right! My husband and I are full time campers and booked a stay for a week. When we got there we weren’t even sure where to go to check in. The “store” was locked and it was 3:30 when check in was at 3. Confused on what to do I had my husband try calling to see where to go. He was sent to voicemail or it just kept ringing. Finally I ended up walking around the building to see if I could come across anyone. I saw a deck with a lady on it whom I questioned and she seemed irritated I did so. From inside the house I hear a man yell at me “I’ll get to you in a minute!” In a rude tone. My husband hearing how the “manager” talked to me said to get in the truck. The worst customer experience I’ve ever experienced! Please don’t waste your time in booking here! Go to one of the state parks in the area! Way better experience!

We arrived at the general store to check in and found the store in complete disarray, empty coolers, shelves all taken down, no electricity and very dark. It reeked of cigarette smoke. The manager sat drinking beer at his table in the dark waiting for guests to arrive. We paid the cash for our reservation (no computer, no credit card machine, no formal paperwork, etc.) and followed through to a camp site. It does not feel like a campground…more just like you’re in a backyard. We found our spot and set up, ignoring the trash left in the firepits and pool that stunk and was full of black water. We quickly realized we were one of the few actual overnight guests, as most campers were being lived in and had boarded up windows. Those spaces looked like junkyards. Later, though we only had 4 people and tried to put our teenagers in a second tent, the manager told us we’d have to pay another $40. He told us it was a state rule, which isn’t true (We’ve camped avidly around the state for years and know the regs) and while he is in his right to charge whatever he wants, there was no way I was paying $80/night to stay next to a black pool and rotting trailers. We got our money back and left, drove the one mile to the state forest campground around the corner, paid our $20, put our tents back up, and had a campfire by other campers in a beautiful spot on the Platte River. Sunnywoods may work for a single dude that needs a place to crash before fishing as a last resort, but thats about the extent of what it provides. Go to the campground right around the corner instead. Half the price and provides a true camp experience without all the rundown yuck.

This was probably the best camping experience I've ever had, just with the area we were given that was by itself tucked away near the river. We met Dan who was extremely cool and gave us that spot so we could have more room than what we originally had reserved. All in all we all had a great time and surprisingly didn't have to use any deet, so that was a big plus. Only about a 20 minute drive to Frankfort as well, if you want to see the sunset. I will definitely be coming back to this place and would recommend it to anyone else who is looking for a place to camp.

Very nice! The owners are nice and welcoming. How they have so many bad reviews is sad. It is a quiet campground. My kids loved the pool and riding their bikes around. Walks to the river is nice too. The little store is amazing. They have ice candy, beer. Platte river is 12 min away to enjoy the beach. The owners are very welcoming.
