Well, the vacation will have to be nearby this year. We are looking for something mostly geared towards "camping" away from RVers where we can set up our tent and just enjoy the area. We are in SE Kansas and not really familiar with the area but know Central Kansas (Salina, Junction City areas) so maybe we'll go up that way. We have considered Oklahoma and also Missouri since we are close to both state lines. We would probably be spending 4 or 5 days with ourselves, our son who is 21 years old and has Down syndrome and 1 or 2 larger dogs. Thanks, Cathy

The MO state parks website has photos of individual campsites - a great way to choose a site based on your needs! You might give them a look.

Haven't been there in several years but the State Lake at Parsons use to be a pretty darned nice place to go. It had some nice camping areas and it was a pretty good place to fish.
Was born in Parsons and the wife and I were raised in Chanute.
You might also consider the Fall River Lake area. It is much larger than the Parsons lake and has a lot more facilities available.
Good luck. Have fun and be careful around the water.

Hi brookside,
In Oklahoma, the Kiamichi Mountains are really nice. Great place to get away from everything as the mountains provide for some seclusion and pretty good views of sunrises and sunsets. They even have bears in the area.
Hope this helps,
Jeff Marshall
