Worlds of Fun Village
Worlds of Fun Village RV park is just a few steps from the amusement park that shares its name. The campground offers back-in (55 feet in length) and pull-thru (100 feet in length) concrete sites. Each site offers 20/30/50-amp electric, sewer, and water. Each also comes with a patio complete with picnic table and charcoal grill. In addition, free high-speed Wi-Fi and satellite television with premium channels are provided.
No RV? No problem. The campground rents wood-side cottages and family cabins. The temperature-controlled cottages sleep six, provide Wi-Fi, have a living room (with a television) and kitchenette, and a bathroom with a shower. Bed sheets and linens are included. A private deck, outfitted with a charcoal grill and two Adirondack chairs, overlooks the woods. The family cabins sleep eight and have the same amenities as the cottages. In addition, the cabins offer a shower and bathtub, and have loft spaces.
After an exciting day at the amusement park, relax and unwind in the seasonal pool or hot tub (or both). If you have forgotten to pack something, they have you covered. There is an onsite store fully stocked with all the supplies, food, and souvenirs you will need.
