Rock creek recreation area COE - Ozawkie, Kansas

 Campground **
 
 This park is miles away from any shopping.  Seventeen miles away from Topeka, but there are a lot of back roads before getting to a highway.  

We came to this park a day earlier than originally planned, for an eye doctor appt that Elwood had, in Overland Park (South of Kansas City).  Since it was an hour away from the campground, we parked the coach at a nearby Bass Pro Shops while we went to the appt, then came to the campground.

Our gravel site was not quite level, and raised about a foot higher than the yard area.  We were on an end site, with a large grassy area in front of and behind our site.  But, it was sloped quite a bit, and had a couple of washed out gullies.

The BIG thing that was bad about this campground is the HUGE Midge Gnat population!!!  It was torture taking the dogs out after dark the first night!  We put up our citronella torches, which helped, but they were still very bad.  They swarmed inside when we opened the door.  I had to change the gnat trap sticky pad every morning because it was so covered with them!  And, they stayed on the end of the slide next to the door, even during the day, and flew in.
 
Site #44
Length of stay - 9 nights
$10/night
We had to use the portable dish because the rooftop was not working right.
