1. Do you have an RV campground?: Yes, we have two areas for RV Campers. We have 28-sites with 30-amp and 50-amp electric hookups, water hookups, and a dump station. The first night is free of charge, after that it is $20 a night up to 10-nights in any 30-day period. Availability is on a first-come first-serve basis. One area is located on the NW corner of S. Santa Fe Ave and Chanute 35 Parkway; and the other area is to the west, adjacent to the Lakeview Recreation Area located at 208 W. Chanute 35 Parkway (both areas are within walking distance of each other). There is also a restroom/shower house located between the two areas. Plus, the payment box and dump station is located south of the restroom/shower house.
