Arkalon Park Liberal, Kansas

[Adrian W]

I found a really nice sounding campground in Kansas while surfing the net: $10.00/ night with electricity; $5.00/night without. Due in advance.

Several nature trails wind through the marsh area, providing visitors with an opportunity to sight beaver, deer, kingfishers, turtles, snakes, squirrels, and raccoon. Bird watchers frequently sight a spectrum of species, from bluebirds to falcons, and the foliage is equally diverse. Markers identify many of the unusual trees and shrubs, and benches offer hikers a spot to sit and take in the natural beauty of the scene. Travelers on US-54 & US-83 will be surprised to find a series of ponds, streams, marshland and groves of cottonwood trees nestled in an area of canyons and hills north of the highway.

I have not been to this park/campground but found it on line when hunting for a possible place for my son to overnight while passing through Kansas. The camphost was very nice when I spoke to him. I would like to try it someday. I believe it is a city of Liberal park.

There are electrical hookups in the campground area, a bath house, and RV dump station, and a shelter facility.
