Many RVers are drawn to the US coasts, but there are countless hidden gems scattered across the Midwest as well. Most might see Kansas as a drive-through state, but it can actually be the perfect destination for peaceful prairie camping. And there’s no better place to stay than Deer Creek Valley RV Park.

This campground is one of the best-rated options in the state (if not the entire country!) And when you look a little closer, it’s easy to see why. For starters, it’s close to Topeka, but it’s also in the heart of the Great Plains. This creates a location that’s just the right mix of urban and rural.

The park itself is also meticulously organized and maintained. Every camper has access to everything they need and then some! A few resort-level amenities are included in your stay as well, so you won’t have to rough it here. There are several other factors that set this park apart from the rest, so read on to learn about this lovely getaway.

Overview

Deer Creek Valley RV Park is located in Topeka, Kansas. It’s situated near the eastern edge of Topeka, fairly close to the Phillip Billard Municipal Airport. The scenic Kansas River arcs around to the north, while the titular Deer Creek sits to the south.

In addition to downtown Topeka, nearby cities include Lawrence, DeSoto, and Kansas City. No matter which way you turn, there is something interesting waiting for you.

But let’s get back to the campground itself. This is a fairly small RV park, with only 59 sites available. However, this size makes it possible for the camp hosts to offer top-notch service to every guest. Plus, there are just enough people to justify some upscale amenities and park features.

Nearly all of the sites are pull-through, so it’s easy to get in and out of your spot. However, there are also five back-in sites if you require (or prefer) that setup. In addition, you won’t have to worry about finding one of the limited spots that can fit your rig, because all of the sites here are a uniform size.

Each one measures 90 feet long and 12 feet wide. Plus, they all come with an attached concrete patio, complete with a shaded picnic table. Full hookups for water, sewage, and electricity also come standard. Large trees surround the park as well, providing a sense of separation from the rest of the city.

With a setup like this, you might be nervous to look at the price tag. But the rates here are actually quite affordable! Nightly stays are only $55 per night, plus there are discounted rates if you book a weekly or monthly visit. The rates are scheduled to rise by a couple of dollars in 2025, but it will still cost less than $60 to spend the night here.

Finally, Deer Creek Valley RV Park is open all year long, so you won’t have to worry about running out of time to visit. No matter when you want to stop by, they’ll be open for business!

Amenities

Next up, it’s time to dive into the amenities that are provided here. Deer Creek Valley has the distinction of being Topeka’s only luxury RV park. So you can enjoy the feeling of an outdoorsy park, while still enjoying all the comforts of home.

In addition to the full hookups at every site, there are also modern bathrooms and shower facilities located on-site. These are rigorously maintained and cleaned, so you won’t have to worry about that. Laundry machines are also located within the park. This will save you the time and hassle of finding the nearest laundromat in town, or wearing the same dirty clothes over and over.

Complimentary Wi-Fi and cable TV is available across the entire park. In addition, there is decent cell phone reception for most of the major providers, including Sprint, Starlink, and T-Mobile. So if you want to connect to the internet during your visit, it should be no problem.

Topeka is a fairly safe city, but you can enjoy extra peace of mind thanks to the security of this park. The entire area is fenced in, and all visitors must pass through a security gate.

And when it comes to severe weather, there’s a plan for that, too! Parts of Kansas are at-risk for tornadoes, so there’s a 24-hour storm shelter that’s accessible for all guests. Most people will never need to use these features, but extra safety measures like this can help ease your mind and make your trip that much more relaxing.

But it’s not only about the necessities here. There are also several amenities that are just for fun. For starters, why not take a dip in the pool? It is is open from 9 am to sunset every day during the warmer seasons. It’s the perfect place for kids and adults alike to cool off!
