Kansas

There's something about Kansas that's hard to put your finger on. One of the nation's major metropolitan papers described Kansas as a "fabled place," a reservoir of authentic American experience. Kansas has always been a place with enough space and enough promise for people to dream and make big things happen. We invite you to explore the "massive, subtle place" that is Kansas, where openness and opportunity are as big as you think.

Kansas is the original Free State, founded to express the principle of equality. Kansas gave the world Dwight D. Eisenhower and Amelia Earhart — quintessential American heroes.

Kansas was once the bed of a huge inland sea and vast deposits of limestone exist throughout the state. Monument Rocks and Castle Rock, both chalk formations, tower over the surrounding plains in Gove County. In and around Gove County, historically significant fossils have been unearthed with many on display at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays.

Experience the great and wide open outdoors with comfort when you stay at a Kansas RV park or campground. Come and discover all that is new, historic, unexpected, and extraordinary in Kansas. Capture the glow of our typically spectacular sunsets and surround yourself with our warm hospitality, rich history, and state-of-the-art attractions. Whether you want to experience the famous cowtowns, see the ancient hunting grounds of the Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians, find excellent birding opportunities, learn about the buffalo soldiers, or explore several bison-filled regions, the destinations you wish to see are just down the road.

Kansas… As big as you think.
