Overview

11123 Arkalon Park Road, Liberal, KS, 67901

Arkalon park is located 10 miles NE of Liberal KS on HWY 54. The park offers concrete pads, water, 30/50 amp power for campers, and well maintained grassy areas for tents. Most sites have covered picnic tables. All sites have fire rings and BBQ grills. There are hiking trails, a sandy volleyball area, fishing ponds on the property, and an amazing playground for kids.  There is also plenty of room to set up outdoor games. A fully equipped bath house is available for your convenience.  For your safety, there is a gate that will be locked every night from 10 p.m. - 7 a.m. and several tornado shelters (which hopefully, we never have to use).

Area Tips

Arkalon park is named after the town of Arkalon that was founded in 1888 at the Cimarron river crossing of the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska railway, a part of the Rock Island. Town lots were cheap, and people flocked in by the hundreds. However, the deep sand of the area was a serious handicap to the movement of horse-drawn freight, and the town never succeeded in establishing itself as a profitable marketing point. It was sustained for years by the large stockyards but by the 1920's most of the population had gone.

There is a wonderful view of the Mighty Sampson of the Cimarron Railroad Bridge that is still in use today.  The bridge was a new design, built in 1939, out of necessity after three different bridges at this location colapsed during a span of two decades.  The bridge is 113 feet above the river bed (which is now dry), 1269 feet long, and is a floating bridge.  It sits on pylons but is not actually attached to them.  It was a contender for the 8 wonders of Kansas Architecture award.

Sweet little spot nestled in the trees of Liberal, KS. The space felt secure, and the property was very well cared for. As a solo traveler, this was an easy stopover space that felt safe and secure overnight. There also is a bird sanctuary on site, along with a few hiking trails. And for the cost, it's a tremendously valuable little gem.

Campground Response

We are so glad you felt safe and secure at our little Oasis in the Desert! We strive to make everyone comfortable. We are so glad you stopped in to see us, and we hope you will be coming back by in the near future. Be safe out there!

Very nice park with large open areas for the kids to play and a playground. Very sensible rate at $15 with water and electric. Dump station at the entrance to the campground and tornado shelter pods for emergencies. Great place for an overnight stop on our return trip from the West Coast.

Campground Response

Thank you David for reviewing our park/campground. We do appreciate that you took the time out of your traveling to write a little review for us. It sure does help get the word out to others so we can share our park with as many travelers as possible. Glad you stopped in to see us, and we hope to see you again in the future.

I absolutely LOVE Arkalon Park. One of our favorite places to just go relax. It is beautiful down there. Lots of trees, free firewood, lots of walking trails, a beautiful playground for the kids, a clean bathhouse, and even storm shelters. Fishing ponds just up the road for the angler in your family too!! We cannot say enough good things about this place. If you haven't been, you are missing out!!

Campground Response

Thank you Kristen for your review of our Campground. We truly appreciate the sweet things you said about our park. We enjoyed having you stay with us, and look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

A lovely place to stay. It was very quiet, well maintained grounds with level pads. The camp host and various worker were very nice. Ample play equipment if you have small children. Bathrooms were clean but a bit rustic. They attract wild bird with feed and we saw deer as well. Fire wood provided with a fire ring. Great overnight stay while traveling to the Grand Canyon. Would stay again!

Campground Response

Karen, thank you for your review of our Campground. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to seeing you again soon. You are right, our Bathrooms are outdated and we are working to improve that situation as soon as possible. I hope we can get that accomplished before your next stay with us. Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to us.

I’m hesitant to leave a review because I selfishly don’t want this gem to become popular. We were here in May 2024. This is our second visit. We actually drove 9 1/2 hours just so we could stay an extra day on our trip east. We’re birders and we’ were not disappointed. Our site even had a built and maintained bird bath as we also watched two Mississii Kites build a nest. Ponds and roads and wonderful walking trails gave us 44 more species. Our site had a level cement pad and all sites are far apart. If Camping scares you because of possible tornados, don’t fret as they have several tornado shelters. We will return if ever headed that direction again. Our fifth wheel is 28’. Only negative was very dirty showers and I think they have a host but never saw evidence that they were around.

Campground Response

Thank you for your review Sandra. We are sorry you felt our facility was not clean. We normally get raves of how clean it is. Don't really know what happened on the days you were here, but I truly apologize if they were not clean. We do have Camp host onsite and there is most always someone in the office from 8:00 am. to 6:00pm. Generally, if no one is in the office, we are out on the grounds somewhere. We are glad you enjoyed your stay here and excited that your bird watching was very successful in our park. Once again, thank you for your review and we hope you will give us a chance to make it up to you one of these days. Safe and happy traveling to you......

I loved everything about the park. The hosts were very friendly. The view of the Sampson of the Cimarron Trestle was outstanding. I enjoyed hiking the trails. We camped on site A4 which had a concrete pad. $15 for electric & water is a super bargain. I will definitely return if I’m ever in the area again.

Campground Response

Looking forward to seeing you again. It was certainly good to get to meet you. Thank you for the great review. We do appreciate the reviews we get. We hope you will be able to come back and see us again sometime. Enjoy your trip and be safe out there.

My wife and I stayed at Arkalon Park for the third time a few weeks ago (in early May, 2024). We love this park. The spots are level, paved, and well spaced. The campground host is very friendly. We get a very secluded feeling when staying there. There are no showers, but the bathroom is well maintained. We'll be back for a fourth visit.

Campground Response

Thank you for your review of our park! We appreciate each and every one. We are happy to see that you have been here 3 times already and planning more trips this way. We do have showers....they do look like the toilet stalls at first glance. We do have 2 showers in the men's restroom and 2 showers in the woman's restroom. Looking forward to seeing you again James.

Very nice and spacious park. $15 a night camping for W/E can't be beat. Restroom with showers. Free firewood. Only downside is the 2 miles rough ride in.

Campground Response

Thank you for your review of our park. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay here with us. We understand about the road coming in to the park and we are working on getting that resolved. Please bear with us until it is finished. I think you will agree that it is worth the drive in though. Hopefully we will see you again soon. Safe travels!

we definitely had a little bit of a hard time finding it the night we got there because we went late at night, but the host Lucas actually drove out to find us and guide us to our campsite, which was absolutely amazing for us. Him and Barb were the friendliest nicest hosts we have ever had for anything. it was a wonderful stay it was super quiet, super cozy and everything worked amazing the bathrooms were very, very clean and it was just a very comfortable stay we will definitely definitely be back

Campground Response

Thank you Anthony for the great review of our little "Oasis in the Desert". We surely do appreciate the nice things you said about our park and us. We love to share our park with others and try to be the best hosts we can! Hope to see you soon! We love to see familiar faces!

It was great stay except for a cross country meet that was taking place in the park on Saturday morning.

Campground Response

Sorry about the cross country meet during your stay with us. We usually have 3 or 4 of them during the summer. If you are wanting to stay with us, it might be a good idea to give us a call before booking so you can make plans to miss the meets. Thank you for staying with us and hope to see you again soon.

Another fantastic stay at the park. This was our 3rd stay this year and we hoped to get another one in before the park is closed for the season. Unfortunately, that will not happen so we will look forward to next year. Park hosts are fantastic, friendly and we really enjoy visiting with them. The park is very well maintained and the two workers that are always there, I believe their names are Gerald and Daniel, could be wrong on that, are to be commended on their work. They are very friendly and always respect our space. Thanks again and we will look forward to next year! Spot and Sue Farley

Campground Response

Hey there you two! Can’t wait to see you again this summer! We will be there again this summer so come on out!

Campground Response

Thank you Brian for your review. We sure do hope to see you again this year!

Secluded campground. Don't let the entrance road scare you. Not real far off the highway but a long ride on a service road to get there. Have all you need when you go in because any services are a ride to get to.

Campground Response

We appreciate your review. You are correct, is is 13 miles to the nearest store, but I guarantee our campground is well worth it! Hope to see you again soon.

Love this campground. The road going in is a bit rough but camping is great with nearly level sites for our small rig. Bathroom showers are a little rough. Ice on site. Kind hosts. An inexpensive place to truly rest after a day of traveling.

Campground Response

Thank you for your kind words. The road in to the campgrounds can get a little rough, especially if we have had any rain, but normally, we don't get a lot of rain in our part of the country, so the roads stay pretty good for most of the summer. We have painted the bathrooms and are working to get them updated as soon as possible. Please come see us again. We would love to see you again.

Nice park. Great cement parking pads. It was very quiet. It made a great overnight stopping point. If I had known that it wasn't in town, I would have booked 2 nights. Would stay again if we are traveling through the area.

Campground Response

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We do appreciate it. We hope you will get the chance to come back and see us soon.

We easily made reservations and paid online. This was a stop along the way and we didn't know what to expect. Finding it was a bit confusing because we were over thinking it. Just trust the signs. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised! Clean and well maintained park. Children's playground looked new and safe. Water and electric worked. The price was fantastic at $10 a night! If you didn't use them it was $5. We will definitely put this in our travel journal as a place to return.

Nice people, groundskeepers! Quiet, peaceful but Verizon doesn't work very well here :( wish they stayed open past October 15th! We'll return for sure, highly recommend.

Campground Response

Hey guys! Good news! Starting this summer we will be open all year! So exciting! Thanks for the great review and hope to see you soon!
