Cottonwood Grove RV Campground

Our family came to Hesston, Kansas on business. We stayed for 2 1/2 months at Cottonwood RV Park, with two
medium sized dogs paying $450 a month at that time! All sites are pull through, which makes it easy for us, since we leave early mornings usually! Although the park is along interstate 135, it was very peaceful! We never used the bathroom or showers there, so we can’t speak on that. However, the laundry room was very handy, and clean besides the occasional dirt on the floor that got dragged in by shoes. The Park is in a perfect location with a Walmart about 10 minutes south in Newton along with many other stores and restaurants. Wichita is about 40 minutes south and has many things to do!

The only downfalls I had about this RV Park is that the entry into the park was very rough and not even, and that there is only one small/medium dumpster, that the guests fill up quickly!

Highly Recommended!

We stayed here overnight on a 10 day trip in late May. I wish I could report something good about the site but other than the hosts being nice people there is nothing I can say.
The campground is surrounded with cottonwood trees and the cottonwood pollen was so thick on the ground it looked like it had snowed. I know it's not the owners' fault but I needed to mention it for those like me with allergies. The bathrooms had signs that soap and paper towels were always restocked - they weren't. The bathrooms were dark and damp with ant trails running through them and there was only a bottle of Purell. Luckily there was toilet paper but you might feel more comfortable doing your business in your RV. The site is a pull through and is plenty long for an RV with a tow vehicle but the sites are dirt not gravel, or anything solid and are very uneven. The power was far from the RV and the sewer was near the entrance of the site making it very difficult to use when towing a vehicle.

I needed a stopping place and it was getting late. I’m glad I called ahead to ensure a bath house because I learned it’s cash or check only. It was self check in, which I like. It was hard to find a spot in the dark, but worked out well and was glad for the dark when it came to sleeping time. True to its name, it is in a cottonwood grove. There seem to be some permanent residents mixed in, but it was a quiet night.
