Prairie Haven Nudist Park

Prairie Haven Nudist Park

(3 reviews)

We were politely greeted by staff once we arrived and checked in. The grounds were kept clean and…read morethe pools and hot tubs were clean. Hands down a great first experience and would absolutely return again and become members. They have weekly activities as well, so I suggest you check the website first.

Our 3rd nudist resort stop was at Prairie Haven, in Scranton, KS (about an hour outside of Kansas…read moreCity). It was remotely located down a gravel road, and had a beautiful welcoming front entrance. The whole grounds had lovely old trees which gave it a beautiful natural feel. We chose to stay in a small bathroom-less "cabin" rather than tent since it was going to just be a quick overnight stay (and forecasted to rain in the a.m.). As with the last two places, this was an AANR nudist resort, not clothing optional. It was perfect weather so we took a dip in the in-ground pool and met some lovely members. The hot tub was hopping & we listened to stories & shared ours. Only one couple had been to any FL resorts or any other nudist resorts. It is in a pretty remote area. They had a second above-ground "activity"pool reserved for lap swimming, aerobics, and pool volleyball. Both pools had newer deck areas around them & the sunning deck had new colorful chairs & umbrellas. The rest of the facilities were quite a bit older (probably original from the 70's) & starting to look & feel a little sad and in need of some structural & esthetic updates. Same with our "cabin" - it was a small structure divided into two bedrooms by a flimsy, thin wall. That's all we're gonna to say about that. The small, stuffy clubhouse has a fully stocked community kitchen. It doesn't look like it's used for anything more than that. But it was clean & functional & appreciated. There was also a large covered pavilion with an outdoor kitchen area. Their old sand volleyball court was turned into a pickleball court, which was next to a remote-controlled car dirt track. Seems to be a thing in the mid-west. Wish we could be there for one of those events. There is a huge, very flat open field which they said they use for fireworks displays, Molke, and golf cart races! We strolled up on their weekly game of Molke & were quickly invited to play. We love this about nudist places - everyone is always welcoming & inclusive. This club only allows a limited amount of male or female single visitors or members (10% of their membership) so keep that in mind. And after 3 visits, you have to become a member. It is a co-op where everyone is expected to pitch in to maintain the facilities & grounds to some degree. If you visit, look for the many adorable (mostly nude) gnomes sprinkled throughout the common areas. It was almost like a scavenger hunt to find them all. It lent itself to the rustic whimsy of the place!

Weston Bend State Park - Fungus

Weston Bend State Park

Weston Bend State Park is a peaceful and beautiful spot located near the town of Weston, MO. The…read morepark is famous for its picturesque beauty, walking trails that winds through forests overlooking the Missouri River. I visited the park in winter last yr and fell in love with it. Primarily I just hiked around but I saw many people bird watching, and enjoying the quiet nature as well. The best part is the scenic overlook that gives a beautiful view of the river valley, especially at sunset. When I visited the park, it felt calm and less crowded. That definitely makes it a nice place for families or anyone who wants a break from busy life. My suggestion to everyone one is to hike at this park and then head to the town of Weston to enjoy some hot wine at Pritle Wineries followed by amazing food at the O'malleys pub.

Small park that nestles along the Missouri River…read more Trails for hiking and biking exist on the eastern side. You can also camp and picnic. If you hike along the West Ridge you will climb up to the ridge and come up to some overlooks that look into Kansas. The park was unmanned on Indigenous Peoples Day, but folks were able to access the park. If you have pets, the park has a small dog park at the front end. Plenty of benches can be found along the lower trails to take a load off. Right now the leaves are turning into their fall shades and the birds that come in the fall are arriving for the birders that are on the hunt. Plenty of information can be found at the trail head. There are clean bathrooms. The water fountains don't work, but the taps do. The weather today was awesome. I will return.

We had two RV sites reserved at Suncatcher Lake RV Park for a one-night stay on June 26, 2026. Our…read morereservation was confirmed and paid in full directly with the park via phone on March 5, 2026. Exactly 30 days before our scheduled arrival, I received an email informing us that our reservation was being canceled because the park has implemented a new policy requiring a two-night minimum stay beginning June 1, 2026. Rather than honor our existing reservations that were made nearly three months before the policy change, they chose to cancel our confirmed booking. What was most disappointing was the way the situation was handled. There was no courtesy phone call, no opportunity to discuss possible solutions, and no genuine concern given to the inconvenience this caused. When I attempted to contact the park by phone, my calls were not answered or returned, and management ultimately stated by email that the decision was not up for negotiation and they would not call or discuss the matter further. While a refund was issued, it does not change the inconvenience and additional expense caused by having to find alternative accommodations on relatively short notice. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this campground due to the way management handled the situation and their unwillingness to communicate with customers when concerns were raised. Screenshots attached for transparency so others can see the communication firsthand.

We rented a deluxe cabin for 4 adults and 2 kids under 4. The cabin was great and very cozy; clean…read moreand linens provided were nice quality. Central AC along with a unit for the loft and a space heater in the downstairs bedroom made everyone cozy all the time. Electric fireplace was a wonderful touch, but the tv was useless. Booking says a dvd player is included but there wasn't one, and no idea if it connects via streaming or whatever. Some of the pans and utensils provided were a little janky with loose handles and burnt spots, and the bathroom door lock was broken, but we made do. Staff was super welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We bought firewood from the store and they delivered to our site. Kids had a great time on the playground. We enjoyed the outside porch, the fire pit and the charcoal grill. Only real downside was the noise level. We opened the windows for that nice October nighttime breeze but heard close by train whistles sometimes every 30 minutes. Outside of the trains, it's close to farm silos running ... something loud? Drying fans? Elevator mechanisms? Whatever it was, it was a constant 24/7 dull whirring that I'm sure would be really bothersome if you were sleeping in a tent or less insulated spot than the cabin we reserved. We felt like we were talking over this sound while we were outside on the porch and fire pit area. Overall, I will definitely choose this site again and rent a cabin if we're traveling through this area of Kansas in the future. I would not reserve a tent site here.

Friendliest KOA staff ever! We stayed for 7 nights and had a great time. Not a fan of buddy sites…read morebut we met some really nice campers.
