Rating: 10 8 8 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Beautiful park, great view from the laundry room! Full hookups for $11, can't beat that. - max7_3
Another excellent Corps park with a layout of two loops around a lake - interesting that it was signed with warnings about water contact and how to deal with fish due to algae. One thought for summer camping would be to find the shady spots since the rv sites are asphalt and would be hot after a long sunny day. However, being a "road", the sites were fairly level. Power was good and water was available at the sites. Some minor road noise, as we were at the end of the southern loop near the road. Nice walk around the lake for the dog with a good path. - cherib
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Outlet (Melvern) COE »Beautiful site along the lake. Small gravel walk way along the lake, nice, except for all the goose poo. Nicely maintained and friendly host. Very spacious site. We had a pull through, but many of the pull throughs we observed seemed quite short and more curved than necessary. Even so, it was easy in and out and the site was very level on black top. We loved our site and would definitely stay again and preferably longer if traveling through the area. Only complaint is all the biting gnats, but not a lot can be done about that. Just the type of weather and conditions that give you those little bugs. Sunset was beautiful across the lake. It was a nice peaceful stop. No traffic noise and overall a very quiet campground. - JonesAussies

Rating: 10 9 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Previous reviews go back to 2007. It is now August, 2018 and my review echos the others. You have to want to get here, but once here you could spend a day or a few days and enjoy your stay. Because of costs we always try to find a COE campground. This is tied with my favorite. Well kept, wide roads, large sites and great camp host. Park typically full on Summer weekends, but we arrived on Sunday evening and were the only rv in the Park. Cell service was strong for Verizon and AT&T. Electric and water only. We spent one night. On a large lake. - Mike from Bama
We reserved #45 and found out when we arrived that it included #48 at the additional charge. Level paved sites with plenty of grassy area. Fire rings were not near enough to site to be useful. Quiet even on the weekend when it filled up. To access approach from Osage City since Turkey Point is on the opposite side of the lake from the Outlet Park and COE headquarters. Fishing access within walking distance of our site. There was a marina somewhere because many of the weekenders had boats. - Betsy_02
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Turkey Point COE »We really enjoy camping here. There is a lot of shade and easy access to the water. They have recently eliminated the vault toilets and made them into flush toilet, and shower, which was a huge improvement to the area we camped in The campground hosts are great. They do their jobs without being "rule nazis". This is just a beautiful quiet campground with lots of space between the individual campsites. - benidew

Rating: 7 10 9 9 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed here 1 night, with a reservation. Beautiful park with good trails for walking after a long day of traveling. Park was well kept up. The showers were not useable, plumbing appeared to have been dismantled. Surprisingly there was a laundry room with working washers and dryers. We would stay here again. - cr180
The camp ground was amazing. Stayed at the west equestrian campground with full hookups at a lake side site. The gravel pads are well kept up and really long. Sites are angled so that the RV's aren't right next to each other. Some sights very open and some with shade. The campground had a couple yurts and cabins too. Water pressure is high so a pressure regulator is advised. Lots of birds- including pelicans and herons! Will definitely return! - NanciRV

Our campiset was full hook up, The full hook up sites in Doud campground was filled the surrounding campsite were electric only. There were a couple of campers the electric only sites. It was a really hot weekend. The other campers were friendly. We have a 22" RV and the other RV's dwarfed ours. On Saturday we rented two Kayaks We rented them for two hours so the camp volunteer hauled the Kayaks to the cove we kayaked in. The also have trails for hiking, biking, and horse back riding. The best part of the camp were the volunteers, they operated a small store and the Kayak canoe rentals. They gave our dog a treats every time he went into the store. Our dog really loved the volunteers. They also gave kids free pop cycles. On Saturday afternoon we also drove to Emporia and toured William Allen White's home Red Rocks State Historical Site. https://www.kshs.org/red_rocks - DuaneG

Rating: 6 8 6 6 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The entry is rutted but the interior lanes are acceptable. Nice person but needs help. Mowing was not getting done. Sewer cap at our site was "mudded in" and could not be removed and I had no time to dig it out. W/E were fine. CG has a large tornado shelter. Mix of seasonals and traveling workers, majority of the rigs in good shape although some sites were cluttered. It is fine for a day or two. - gumper
Very nice park, well maintained and clean. Spacious site with easy access in all ways. Quiet even though there was some kind of a car show going on nearby. Just passing through on a destination, would stay here again and longer. - The Border Collies

Pull-Thru SitesPool AccessBig Rig AccessPets Allowed-lake Waterfront AccessTents AllowedReviews of Pomona State Park
Rating: 9 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Pomona State Park is a wonderful state park with a lot of good amenities (lake, beaches, hiking trails, boat ramps). Our nightly rate reflects buying the KS annual camping pass, plus the KS annual vehicle permits (one per vehicle RV+Car), plus 3 utilities (50 amp elec, water, sewer) for a month.
We stayed here in February and really appreciated the ability to stay in a state park setting, with full hookups, in winter.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Even though we were one of the few campers here, this time of year, the park was regularly patrolled and it felt very safe. Staff was onsite during the week and readily available to answer questions or to help as needed.
The park is generally in good repair and well maintained. Some of the picnic tables, at a few sites, are in desperate need of replacement; but otherwise the park facilities were in good working order.
The park is pretty, quiet, and serene. Although we could hear (several) barking dogs from the surrounding private residences outside the park, there was otherwise no road noise, railroad tracks, etc to detract from the park's serenity.
There are quite a few campsites/camp-loops, ranging from water-front primitive camping to full-hookup RV sites available. We stayed in the Burning Heart camp-loop, which has full-hookups and is available for long(er) term stays.
The roads are paved, leading to gravel sites. Most sites were generally level and wide enough for an awning or slide-outs. There is not a lot of visual separation between the sites but they are well separated and about average for a state park (vs a tightly packed RV park).
Laundry facilities are available all year and the machines were in good working order, inside of a clean and usable laundry room.
The site had 50 amp service, a frost free (non-heated) hydrant, and sewer hookup. All utilities worked well. Other sites offer 30amp and water only, and there are several primitive campsites throughout. All sites have a fire-ring and a picnic table.
We had reasonable Verizon wireless internet access and had good ATT cellular access. Both were within 2-4 bars of LTE service (unboosted).
The park is located between two small towns, Pomona to the east and Lyndon to the west and offered very basic shopping and a few restaurants. Ottawa is the closest town of any size, offering traditional shopping and dining options. Kansas City is about an hour north.
Overall we really enjoyed our time here at Pomona State Park and will definitely be returning. - GeomThis is a roomy state park with lots of grass and shade trees. There are sites of all sizes for both large rigs and smaller equipment. This a good park for an overnight stay or longer term. Swimming, marina, basketball, disc golf course, volleyball, tetherball. Equipment for check out at park office. It is clean and staff is friendly. This is on our "top ten" list. Price listed includes full hookups. - ksgypsy
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Pomona State Park »This campground is on Pomona Lake 24 miles south of Topeka. The campground is absolutely gorgeous with lots of trees and very spacious campsites. Every site is shaded. There are several different camping areas and some are primitive, but there are many full hookup sites and even more water/electric sites available. The sites in Burning Heart area are full hookup and there are several very long pull through sites that are quite nice. Most of the sites have only a view of the water, but there are a few water front sites near the marina. And several sites have no view of the water at all, but the wooded surroundings are very beautiful. We didn't use the shower facilities but the building looks very new and modern. We will definitely camp here again. The only reason I didn't give a 10 is that the cellphone service was marginal. Our wireless Internet card did work there however. - benidew

Rating: 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Michigan Valley COE »This is a very nice COE park. There are several COE campgrounds in this section of Pomona Lake and all looked very good. Rate reflects a Golden Age discount for .50 amp, water, and sewer. There are only twelve of these sites and quite a number of electric and water sites. Contractors seemed nice and informative. We would definitely stay here again. - PALPJL

Rating: 8 10 10 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park is just off the Interstate. A small hill protects you from the traffic noise. The sites are all pull through with good W/S/E. It is a great overnight stop, although it appears to several long term occupants. It is very secure as the entrance is next to the owner/managers house. The laundry facilities are clean an operational. - A hitch and hop
Stopped after a long day on the road for one night. Called on the road for a reservation. Staff was very friendly and give you a bag of fresh popcorn. Sites were full hookup and quite level. Location is near the Interstate but not much road noise. Would stop here again. - Laser

Rating: 5 8 7 7 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: There are [2] parks here "Riverside East" [no hot water] & "Riverside West" We paid $7.50 with our Senior Discount Pass. It appears that some rules for COE parks are violated. Dogs are not leashed, No one manning the booths during the day, so it is hard to check in. We do like the park, but the contract people are not competent. We are leaving after 2 nights because the restrooms are filthy. We said something to the host and her reply was "the cleaning lady is terrible". - JR and The Boys
Our site (#52) is a back-in with a turn... it was easy enough to get into when no one was in site #53; however, with an RV in site #53 - there would be some concern about tail swing clipping the RV. Also... our site (and site #51) were unlevel. So bigger rigs (motorhomes) might have an issue. We also had to clean up our site... Other than that... great looking campground. - Wandering With Us
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Riverside East COE »This is an old COE park that could use some TLC. We stayed in one of the few 50AMP pull-thru sites which worked great. Site was very long and level. All sites are walk-in sites and camp host from the West park came to collect our fee. Park was close to being empty so it was very quiet. The road through the park is very narrow and in some spots have a bad drop-off. Also trees close to the road need to be trimmed. We would stay here again. - bolljl

It is open year round. Good power--but we were initially the only RV in the Park. All sites are pull through. There are no toilets. There are picnic tables. Payment is by cash or cheque. It is located at the intersection of Highway 59 and Central St. There are a few shaded spots. I would stay here again. - User3761
