Very clean, very well laid out RV park near downtown Independence, MO and reasonably close to Kansas City. Level sites, paved drive. Very clean bath house. Noise, but this is an urban park.
Good overnight close in to Kansas City

Reasonably nice campground for that. Probably a great place if your taking in a football game near by. Friendly and helpful staff. When I called the gent was off site but he took the initiative to call back a few hours later (by then I had made a reservation with my phone). Sites are fairly level with concrete pads (at least site 3 was). Mostly fairly big rigs parked there, especial compared to my Sprinter Van. Bathrooms were simple but very clean (my wife even took a shower there). Low score for noise given the proximity to a main railroad line with several trains passing through during the night tooting to announce their presence; nothing really deafening but certainly noticeable.
Good for being close to Kansas City, MO

Very basic campground near Kansas City, MO. Sites are pretty close together. Getting to the water was kind of tight. Bathrooms and laundry required a security code, which they email to you so look for that if you're standing outside the laundry after the office closes. Train tracks nearby so if train horns bother you you're out of luck...moreVery basic campground near Kansas City, MO. Sites are pretty close together. Getting to the water was kind of tight.

Train tracks nearby so if train horns bother you you're out of luck here. Otherwise very quiet. No playground for kids but there is one nearby with a short drive. We camped at The Campus RV Park in a Motorhome.
Nice Park in a Run Down Neighborhood.

Once we got to the park it was excellent. If coming from points North on I-435 be ready for a harrowing ride if you follow the directions on the park website. This includes a low 13 foot 10 inch underpass on eastbound Truman Road (13’ 4” in the westbound direction).

If coming from points North on I-435 be ready for a harrowing ride if you follow the directions on the park website. This includes a low 13 foot 10 inch underpass on eastbound Truman Road (13’ 4” in the westbound direction). I recommend taking I-70 east to Noland Road, a little longer drive but the peace of mind is worth it. Be ready for some serious train noise at this park, there are crossings nearby with some loud horn blowing. Sites are narrow but provided enough space for our equipment including slides. Service was friendly, cell reception was great, never tried the WIFI or OTA antenna. Restroom was clean. Laundry facility was fine only charging $1.50 to wash or dry. Easy access to downtown Kansas City in about 20 minutes. Just be ready for some really bad roads in the area.
Friendly and clean

Wonderfully paced full hook up sites. 50amp! Centrally located and within walking distance of historical sites and many, many, many churches. Hosts are welcoming and very nice. Have stayed twice. Will always stay here when visiting Kansas City.
Good to use as a base to visit historical city.

We did not encounter any problems but... Signage is adequate. Check in was quick and easy. Interior roads are paved and in fairly good condition. Our site, 27, was a back in near the end of the row. We visited during the off season thus the park was not full and we had space. During peak season you will have slide to awning This is an urban park so expect noise including trains. Sites are level concrete with a small patio and table with patchy grass between sites. Utilities are 50 and 30 Amp with water and sewer situated to the left rear. There is no cable but a number of OTA channels are available. Wifi was not the greatest. It cut out often. There are laundry facilities on site. The machines were clean and in good working order but e thought it they were a little pricey. There are no restaurants or stores within walking distance.We paid a weekly rate of $231.03 including tax. No Good Sam discount on weekly rate. We found it to be a fair price and would return if in the area.
Aged utilities, dirty bathroom but great price and location

I went into the bathroom and promptly left, it was just too old/dirty to use. Leaky water connection and it took me 4 tries before my surge supressor would connect to the pole; the 50 amp plug looked like it had burned a little at some point but th 30 amp worked if I had all the circuits flipped on. The laundry was small but clean and cheap. I was on a concrete pad with though room for my toad but I parked it 20' away in the shade. Each spot had a plastic "Lifetime" picnic table and the sites were clean and level. The folks that run this place are nice and helpful. I stayed here mostly because the price was great, they took credit cards, had laundry, and it was close to most things I needed for shopping and stocking up. I would stay here again if the price was still good.Also, this is very close to an Amtrak station and you can hear the train whistle all day and night. If you don't close your windows with the a/c I'd recommend a sound machine.
Nice park. Clean.

Good place to stay if in the area. Had full hookups. They do have 5 pull through sites but most are back in. Fuel prices are good but we had to look around. Would stay there again.

Nice level paved pads with FHU for just over $30 (with Good Sam discount). Close to train tracks, but fairly quiet otherwise. If you need good cell, dont be deterred by the number of signal bars here. Both T-Mobile & ATT were very fast for us while we were here.

We paid about $31/night with a Good Sam discount. We had excellent cell service here on both AT&T and Verizon. Free park wifi is available. The park is medium sized and clean. We were there in our 35' fifth wheel. Most of the sites are back-in, and there are a few pull-throughs (which we stayed in). There were full hook-ups, bathrooms, showers, and laundry facilities. There are two large grassy areas for activities or dog walking. The park is in an older part of town, in the middle of a district with numerous churches. The only negative is the train noise. There is a yard or junction nearby and when the trains come through, you know it. It did not ruin our stay, however.We would stay there again.

I have stayed here multiple times the last 3 years on business. The campground is very clean and the staff is terrific and accommodating. The pads are concrete the drive is paved. the location is one of the best parts. Plenty of walking and eating close by. The only noise is the a train track near by. The laundry is very clean.
Extremely convenient to downtown Independence

It's a short walk to the Independence Square area (to see the Truman House and NPS visitor center) and the presidential library is less than 2 miles away. The National Frontier Trails Museum is about 2 blocks away. The beautiful RLDS Independence Temple is just a few blocks away as well. As noted in the prior review, this is a typical midlevel private park. Campers park side by side with little to no privacy, but with full hookups for $32 (without Good Sam discount) we were able to complete some maintenance and visit the nearby sites we wanted to see at a decent price. There are three pull-through sites but the rest are all backin. The sites are divided into a southern and northern portion. The residence in the middle is the also the management office. We found management to be very friendly and helpful, and happy to accept mail for campers. It seemed most campers were short-term, but there's an RV storage area with some pretty beat up vehicles.The bathhouse is quite dated but functional. Laundry facilities looked fairly new with three washers ($1.50) and three dryers ($1.00). The nearby train tracks are heavily used and I found the train whistles throughout the night to be very loud, but my husband barely noticed. The only reason we wouldn't stay again is that we strongly prefer a natural park setting over urban parking lots. The area felt safe and the distance to the attractions can't be beat.Cell coverage was GREAT on AT&T with 4 bars LTE Download: 28.46 Mbps Upload 29.41 Mbps

Truman sites (NPS Historic Site and the Truman Presidential Library and Museum) and Kansas City and there aren’t a lot of convenient camping alternatives. We were visiting in mid-November and the nearby county parks were closed for the season, so this left Campus RV Park as our only reasonable option.The campground is fairly typical for a mid-range, private RV park: the sites are fairly close together and the facilities are clean, but a little dated and spartan. Our site was level, but not very long—the front-half of our truck stuck out into the road, but this didn’t seem to be an issue since the road in about 3x normal width and we took our parking cues from everyone else.The rest of the campers appeared to be a mix of people passing through and long-term working visitors (lots of trucks that left early and returned late every day of our stay). With the exception of a couple of trains each day, the RV Park is fairly quiet and located next to a LARGE LDS Temple that is pretty cool looking at night. One of the other RV Park Review sites said that Campus RV is in a rough neighborhood, but I don’t agree. Across the street is an industrial area and the homes in the area appear to be older, lower mid-class with a couple of large, multifamily places. We always felt safe. It is a 10’ish block drive to the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site Visitor Center (corner of Truman and Main St). The Truman home is located 5 or 6 blocks from the visitor center. The Truman Presidential Library and Museum is located several blocks north of Truman Rd and is separate from the NPS stuff. Both the NPS stuff and the Library are well visiting and I highly recommend them (our 7-yo son enjoyed both). The downtown area is very cute and the people are super friendly. There is a very nice coffee shop downtown that had great prices and fast internet.It is a bit of drive to downtown Kansas City, but we went in to the city a couple of times, once for BBQ (Q39 – A fantastic, upscale hipster’ish neighborhood BBQ place) and once for burgers (Fritz’s Railroad Restaurant – A greasy hamburger place that a friend recommended because kids LOVE it. Our son did love it because of its kitschy railroad theme and the fact that they deliver the meals by model trains).
