WaKeeny KOA (on HWY 70 in Kansas)

http://koa.com/campgrounds/wakeeney/

If you camp very many KOA's, you will discover that not all KOA's are equal.  They are each privately owned, so it depends on the owners.  This little stop was a gem.  The ownership was friendly.  We were put right next to the bathrooms, pool and playground.  After a 7.5 hour driving day, the kids were ecstatic.  We heard it was 104 degrees when we arrived!  Since there was a burn ban, our plans for hot dogs and bannock bread was a bust over the fire.  So we busted out the electric griddle.  I'll post the bread recipe, because even over the griddle it was fabulous.  After a swim, the kids were happy to scarf down the hotdogs and s'mores, and drift off to sleep.

The sites were large enough.  There was a partial fence on three sides, which helped with privacy.  The only downside is each site shares the grills with 3 other sites, and you also share electricity with many other sites.  But since there was no one at those neighbor sites, and we couldn't use the grill, it didn't matter.  There is a large street light above our neighbor site, which might be annoying (seen in above picture).  You should avoid site 2 (due to the light).



Bathrooms were modern, clean, and wonderful.  Everything was kept up nicely, including the showers. Definitely worth the stop on hwy 70.
