Friday we found we were double booked and went to the front station. We were forced to move our campsite over into a site with no tree's for shade. When I asked if we could be compensated and moved to a different location, I was told no, and I could take it up with the Park Ranger. Paid for the campsite, arrived and paid for 2 cars to enter the park. $130 total. Campsite was not managed and the picnic tables were rotten.

We enjoyed all of our trips to Ottawa primarily due to the accommodations offered by this incredible couple. Breakfast was always top-notch and the bedrooms were consistently comfortable. There's plenty of room around the house and property for relaxing. The hosts are as available as you need them to be and amenable to any requests. This B & B exhibits the small town charm just a short drive from KC and will always be my primary choice during future trips to the area.

It's an adorable Colonial style house that was built in 1898. It was Designed by George Washburn. You'll find a statue of him downtown. The original hardwood floors are still in immaculate shape and not a speck of dust seen. There are lots of stained glass and beveled windows. They have 3 rooms upstairs on the second floor for rent. One has a private bath and the other two share a bath. It has a spacious shower with a raindrop faucet and optional hand held. They have goat milk shampoo, soap, and lotion. It was a nice touch. The family lives on the third floor. The sponsors served breakfast at 9 am with scrambled eggs, banana nut muffin, bacon, fruit, option of yogurt, and coffee, water, and the option of juice. More than enough. FYI. There is a house with a very similar appearance to the pictures one block before you get here, also on the corner. The B&B has a sign on the front porch.

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!

One of their trailers caught our attention and we found ourselves repeatedly coming back to it. Kyle, a rep from Ottawa, wandered over on our 4th or 5th visit and asked if we had any questions. Not wanting to be subject to some high pressure sales I said no and he informed us to simply call him when we did have any. Well we hung around that trailer for a while discussing whether to buy it when Kyle came back. I asked him to work up a full final price quote (price, tax, fees, etc.) and he did. I then said we wanted to i discuss it further and he left us alone. At this point I had some doubts if this size trailer would be suitable for us I found Kyle and asked if they had a particular model (from the brochure) there and they did. We looked at it, Kyle again workEd up a final price quote, and we decided to buy. That was Saturday; in the past 3 days I've bombarded Kyle via text with numerous questions and he's always responded promptly. We picK it up this coming Saturday and I'll update further then.
